Hidden Treasure

2005.Sep.19 Monday

New York City – I’m hesitant to even talk about my favorite little Vietnamese restaurant in New York. It is the very definition of a hole in the wall, and could never withstand the onslaught of the teeming hordes who are daily reading my blog. So please, please, please, don’t all go at once. My [...]

Creativity at a Price

2005.Sep.18 Sunday

New York City – The evening started out like a bad movie. It was raining. My friend John had a date, so I was left to my own devices and relegated to a divey little inn (don’t worry, it wasn’t last minute, I knew about it in advance). Having come into the city fairly last [...]

Greenmarket Porn

2005.Sep.17 Saturday

New York City – Today was a day of wandering around. John and I headed down to the Saturday Greenmarket at Union Square so he could do his weekly restock. For those who’ve never been, Union Square is a mediocre park located in the center of town, bordered by the various parts of Greenwich Village, [...]

Shake it good

2005.Sep.16 Friday

Somewhere…. Over the…

2005.Sep.16 Friday

Atlantic Ocean – Way… up high… Yes, winging my way back the the U.S. for a short visit. Since Henry is stuck in Peru for a couple of weeks, it seemed like a good time to visit with friends and family for a bit. There’s not a whole to say about the food on an [...]

Design and Delicious

2005.Sep.14 Wednesday

Buenos Aires – Back home and just out for a wander – not too far from home as it’s a rather brisk day and Mom Nature is threatening rain. Spotted an interesting looking spot on a corner. Érin is a decent sized duplex “resto-bar” at French 2929, corner of Bollini, in Palermo. It has a [...]

Northern Exposure

2005.Sep.13 Tuesday

Villazón, Bolivia – Following on this morning’s rant, as I said, a separate posting on my food experiences during my weekend travels (travails?). First off, most of the food on the trip was either brought along or sold by vendors who got on the bus at various stops (sandwiches and such), or at roadside cafeterias [...]

Simón Bolivar is Spinning in His Grave

2005.Sep.13 Tuesday

Villazón, Bolivia – It is unfair to judge an entire country from a brief encounter, especially if that time was spent in a small border town. I know that. Still, I return from my trip north basically pissed-off by an experience colored by a few bad hombres. I will try to recount the last few [...]

Hasta pronto

2005.Sep.08 Thursday

Buenos Aires – Not much of a post. No major food or drink events today. No adventures. Will be away for the next few days however – exploring the northwest of Argentina a bit; Jujuy, La Quiaca, and across the border into Bolivia. Lots of photos, lots of note taking. Multiple posts on my return. [...]
