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.
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
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… 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

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
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… Read More A Little Lighter….
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… Read More Things that Come to Mind
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… Read More B.O.P.
