Last weekend I decided to spend a day being a cultured New Yorker: I visited the 2nd avenue street fair on the UES, then walked up to the Met to take in the Alexander McQueen exhibit, Savage Beauty. I went to FIT, so you would think it would move […]

Pinkberry’s New Salted Caramel Flavor
When I close my eyes and go to my happy place, I imagine that I am sunbathing on an exotic island somewhere with Ryan Reynolds and Bradley Cooper-type pool boys feeding me this. Ok that's a slight exaggeration…there's only one pool boy. When my friend Megan told me about this new […]
David Burke Kitchen’s Monkey Bread
Known for his whimsy and creativity, David Burke never ceases to impress me. Last week at David Burke Kitchen, I had the joy of partaking in this delicious, over the top, ridiculously gooey dessert. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the Monkey Bread for Two. The pics don't do it justice but […]
Monday Smorgasboard: June 6

Outdoor Dining Summer 2011 Style
When did it become summer? Sometime over the weekend apparently, and now I'm getting the questions about where to go for outdoor drinking and dining. I prefer the term "Alfresco" because it sounds European and nothing says European like eating outside while enjoying a glass of your favorite alcoholic bev. […]
Anthony Bourdain Is My Hero
There are very few people in this world whom I actually look up to: my mom and dad, Billy Joel, a couple nameless friends, and Anthony Bourdain. With the exception of my mom and dad, these other people have managed to make extremely successful livings and they're all pretty big fans […]
