More Shrimps on the Barbie

2013.Jun.16 Sunday

Picking up on a past project of searching out seafood mixed grills and here, it just seems time to get back to that – especially since I said a year ago I’d get back to it in a month. Plus I’m kind of taking a mini-break from the 92 pizza project, or at least slowing [...]

The Little Prince

2013.Jun.11 Tuesday

 What matters most are the simple pleasures so abundant that we can all enjoy them…Happiness doesn’t lie in the objects we gather around us. To find it, all we need to do is open our eyes.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince If a new Peruvian restaurant opens in Buenos Aires and Henry and [...]

92 Bus, Stops 20 – 23

2013.Jun.08 Saturday

A month ago on this crazy trek I left off in Caballito, just past Parque Centenario, with deep debates on the merits of tasting the pizza from a second branch of a chain that I’d already tried. The final decision mine, I opted to just mention it, number it, and move on, sans nibbling. The [...]

NYC Gems 5

2013.May.23 Thursday

Although I’m not leaving until later in the day, my plans are to take it easy on my last bit of time here in the city, so I don’t expect anything to pop up that merits being a gem inclusion…. I’m going to wind up the last three days with just the more interesting dishes, [...]

The Wedding Banquet

2013.May.22 Wednesday

On to the wedding day itself – pretty much a, if I may use the term, straightforward wedding, with a few twists. Two gay men both working in the political world, one republican, one democrat, one traditional chinese family, one traditional jewish family, you know, all the usual things to be considered. Hey, I didn’t [...]

WDC from a different view

2013.May.21 Tuesday

I’ve only been to Washington DC once before that counts as tourism. Oh, I ran down there three or four times over the years I lived in New York for one event or another – a leadership conference, a food show, a martial arts tournament, a gay march – but it was just for a [...]

BMI & WDC

2013.May.20 Monday

My main reason for scheduling my visit at this particular time is for a family wedding, which I’ll get to in the next post. It was in the DC area and so leaving the bounds of New York are just part of the deal. An uneventful Amtrak ride down to Baltimore where I met up [...]

NYC Gems 4

2013.May.19 Sunday

Okay, this is the day some of you have been waiting for. My friend David came down from Boston to spend the afternoon and evening – those of you who’ve been with me awhile may remember our jaunts in his town last year. We decided on a food and wine grazing day, and I decided [...]

NYC Gems 3

2013.May.17 Friday

Day 3 was the lightest in terms of number of places, but perhaps the most food overall. Met up with a wine importer friend at Le Philosophe, 55 Bond St, for a bit of a French bistro lunch. Custom and recommendations dictated that we start with a plate of fresh radishes with mustard butter and [...]
