Restaurant reviews – the opinions expressed are solely my own. Often, though it will appear that they’re based on a single visit, they’re based on more than one. And I’m willing to hear from folks who disagree – I do know that restaurants, including my own, have their off days.
Back in Lima for the first time in several years, other than passing through on our way to other parts of Peru. We’re only spending two days here – I don’t know why, neither of us ever seem to have much interest in spending more time here other than to try a restaurant or two… Read More The River that Speaks
In English, someone who is a “black sheep” is someone who is a rebel, an outsider, or just simply different. Depending on where you stand on that, they’re either someone boldly going where no one has gone before, or they’re an embarrassment or even pariah, or pretty much anywhere in between. When I sat down… Read More To Take One’s Own Path
I need a couple of folk who feel like going out one evening and hammering our way through the “dinner only” pizzerias along the now famed (infamed?) 92 bus pizza trek. Picking up where I left off in Caballito at one of the more unpalatable entries, I’ve continued trekking, sometimes solo and sometimes accompanied, through… Read More 92 Bus, Stops 24 – 27

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… Read More 92 Bus, Stops 20 – 23
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,… Read More NYC Gems 5
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… Read More The Wedding Banquet
