Stuff unrelated to food, wine & spirits that I just feel like posting.
Just the monthly wrap-up of “unused” photos – a mixed bag, I didn’t carry my camera around much in New York, just the phone – not really sure why, though certainly the fact that other than about a day and a half it was drizzling the entire time had an influence. Boston I have tons… Read More May I End?
Back in BA and going to finish up the last two and a half days of New York in a short post, as most of it was not all that interesting on the food front. Spent the day on Saturday at the dojo – we were testing a group of students for their next level… Read More The Last of New York
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… Read More Two, Yes, Two Days in One
Some of you know that I have a page dedicated to my namesakes – there are a lot of Dan Perlmans out there you know. With one of them I’ve corresponded regularly over the last few years as he has an e-mail address that’s almost the same as one of my old ones that I… Read More Back in the Saddle

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… Read More Down Day….
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,… Read More From the Charles to the Hudson
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… Read More Crossing the Charles
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… Read More Bahstin
