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 [...]

NYC Gems 2

2013.May.16 Thursday

I did say that I was only going to post the standouts, right? Okay, maybe I have to at least mention a few things here and there – not all gemstones are pretty…. As I said, I’m grazing, and on one eve so far I met up with two friends with plans to simply try [...]

NYC Gems 1

2013.May.15 Wednesday

I’m grazing. Around everything else I’m doing, I’m just grabbing nibbles here and there, some on my own, some with friends, and much of it is small, shared plate kind of stuff. I’m not taking photos of everything (some stuff yes, mostly just with the phone), I’m just having a good time. And, I’m not [...]

Pasta and Ribs

2013.May.12 Sunday

Maybe I should just end with the title, because, who doesn’t like pasta and ribs? Just a quick wrap-up to dinners here at Casa S before heading to the airport this afternoon and winging my way to NYC and WDC for a week and a half. I’d actually planned to go earlier, in mid-April as [...]

The Omnipresent Italian

2013.May.11 Saturday

Like everywhere else these days, food TV here in Argentina is big. Beyond various shows on various channels – every news and life happenings channel out there has its share – there are two channels pretty much dedicated to food, El Gourmet and Utilisima (the latter also has shows on crafts and sewing and a [...]

92 Bus, Stops 17 – 19

2013.May.10 Friday

Continuing on our 92 pizza trek, we continued along Angel Gallardo from where we last left off. A couple of blocks go quickly without a pizza in sight. (17) And we find ourselves at the corner of Vera standing in front of Bar La Morena II at Angel Gallardo 197, debating whether to enter. It’s [...]
