Will it be the "blech" heard round the world? To some, probably. Starbucks is an acquired taste in my opinion - even I used to despise it, and now I find myself craving it in the wee hours of the morning. It's a very strong coffee, and it takes some getting […]

New in Reviews Section: Pumpkin Picking and Wine Tasting in Long Island
This past Saturday I had some good old-fashioned Fall fun. And it had nothing to do with collecting dirty leaves, pasting them to construction paper and calling it "art." Sorry second grade, you lose on this one. Click on the page and read about my venture to Long Island - goes to show […]
Pumpkin Picking and Wine Tasting in Long Island
This past weekend I did something pretty strange: I went to Long Island and had a good time. Now before you judge me, let me explain. It was a beautiful day, and we decided to make a pilgrimage to Long Island for some good all-American fun: pumpkin picking, corn roasting, […]

Wafels & Dinges Face Off at Vendy’s This Saturday!
When I first heard about these "awards" a couple years ago, I thought it was a little nutty. But then again we live in NYC; where people walk two miles to work to save $2.25, then when they get there spend $3.52 on a coffee. So I guess I can't be […]
