Two, Yes, Two Days in One

2012.May.21 Monday

I’ve gotten a bit behind on posts – hey, vacation and all that. Plus, not everything I was eating or doing was all that interesting, trust me. So, last Thursday and Friday put together…. Thursday daytime was spent at the American Museum of Natural History, always one of my favorite places to visit when I’m [...]

Back in the Saddle

2012.May.18 Friday

Some of you know that I have a page dedicated to my namesakes – there are a lot of Dan Perlmans out there you know. One who used to be on the page but asked if I’d remove him back at some point, is a lawyer here in NY – actually there are two who [...]

Down Day….

2012.May.16 Wednesday

Every now and again all that eating just sort of catches up, you know? It’s why I’d probably never survive as a full-time restaurant reviewer. I have my limits. Yesterday started off just fine… Let’s just say that Big Daddy’s, 239 Park Avenue South, doesn’t seem to do much in the small portions world. I [...]

From the Charles to the Hudson

2012.May.15 Tuesday

A family visiting break on Sunday, my aunt and uncle in Connecticutt – both a nice visit and some downtime – and definitely a nice break on stuffing myself with multiple plates of the latest trend or largest portion of food coming out of a kitchen. Breakfast was just coffee before heading to the Amtrak, [...]

Crossing the Charles

2012.May.14 Monday

Having called it an early night I was up bright and early, somewhere around 6 a.m., and decided to break fast in the lobby bar/cafe. More food? Yeah, I was hungry! Checking out a traditional Boston corned beef hash and eggs sounded like a great way to start the day. This was good, really quite [...]

Bahstin

2012.May.13 Sunday

Coming to you from the Amtrak between Boston and New Haven, with really lousy, spotty wi-fi, but, hopefully this will all work, even if it takes three times as long to make edits and posts. I’d been to Boston twice in my life before this weekend. Once was back in the mid-80s, an invite from [...]

A Little Lighter….

2012.May.12 Saturday

Okay, I woke up still stuffed from the previous day’s series of small plates that seemed to stretch out all day long. I vowed that this would be a lighter day, and also one with some exercise in it – a few miles of walking about the city, and a two hour dojo workout handled [...]

Things that Come to Mind

2012.May.10 Thursday

Perhaps it’s a bit of the seven year itch, but even after 24 hours back here in New York, I’m finding this to be the first time I’m seriously thinking about the stuff here that I really miss, beyond the usual off-hand quip about bagels and good sushi. Just walking through the Union Square Greenmarket [...]

B.O.P.

2012.May.09 Wednesday

Bagel, Oysters, Pizza. Kind of the new acronym for what to eat when hitting the ground in New York, at least within the first few hours. Uneventful flight, all the warnings about how bad United is to fly simply were’t true – the attendants were great, the seats were as comfortable or un, as any [...]
