In the heart of the theatre district in Manhattan is Etcetera Etcetera, a New York City gem that’s perfect for a cocktail and/or pre-theatre meal. I met a group of family and friends there this week before several of us made our way to our shows and concerts. One goal was to catch up and spend time with one another, but the other was to eat, as only my friends and family know how.The space is elegantly simple, with a contemporary...

There aren’t many of us anymore. A random check of those on
the city streets these days might reveal immigrants and visitors from Asia,
Africa, Europe, Latin America as well as those from other US states that came
to seek their fortune in the biggest of the big cities. But how many born and
bred New Yorkers will you find? Where did they all go? I enjoy the reaction
from those not from around here when I tell them that yes, I actually...

You’re exiting Grand Central Terminal. What neighborhood are you in? Midtown? Midtown East? Turtle Bay? You’re leaving Madison Square Garden. You want to invite a friend to join you for a beer nearby. Where should you meet? Midtown West? Chelsea? The Garment District? Tenderloin? You are told you need to head to the Flower District. Do have any idea where you are going?Unlike most other metropolises New York is not simply divided...

Pure Fate.
In 1963 a young photographer named William John Kennedy had nothing but fate. And that was more
than enough.
After nearly 50 years,
never-before-seen photographs of Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana and their work
have been published for the first time by the KIWI Arts Group, and are
currently on display (and for sale) at site/109 at 109 Norfolk Street between
Rivington and Delancey.

Those
of us who still read newspapers offline - you know who we are by the ink on our
fingers - are aware that this is the time of year the sports sections take a
while to get through.
April
is when three of the four major sports overlap. The name of the month is
derived from the Latin aperire, "to open", an allusion to its being the season when
trees and flowers begin to "open.” Fittingly, it coincides with the
opening of baseball...

A few days
ago, I had a nightmare. This isn’t
uncommon for me; I have bad dreams (and good ones) fairly frequently. Sometimes
I remember them, sometimes I don’t, but most often I recall some specific
themes and vague feelings that allow me to piece together the narrative of the
dream. This recent nightmare fell into the latter category. I don’t remember
much, but I do remember the dream’s main event: Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa...

New York is the best place to eat food you think you don't like. The variety, the innovation –
there is no place like it that I've ever been. And thank god because I do not
love the healthiest of foods.
Eating "healthy"
has become so fashionable, even fad-ish. Between organic everything, the
farm-to-table and slow food movements, even fast food restaurants display the
calorie counts for each meal. And most famously NYC made...

Gas-lit streetlights on
Poplar Street. Forsythia blooming so bright you need sunglasses. Cherry trees
billowing with white blossoms. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect weekend
to invite my husband, Joe, to join me in Brooklyn Heights.
I was born in Brooklyn, but
never lived here. My mission is to convince him that this is where we need to move
and so far, it’s going well. Last night, the Promenade offered up the perfect...

Part of what I consider
market research is to periodically peruse the diet section of my local Barnes
and Noble. No matter how farfetched a book’s concept is I like to familiarize
myself with it. This past weekend, I grabbed a stack of seemingly interesting
books and crouched in a window seat overlooking Broadway. I had zero intention
of purchasing any of them and briefly thought of Borders going bankrupt and
felt a little guilty but...

It was my first time at
the James Beard House and I felt humbled and honored just to step inside. I had
been invited to attend “Gluten Free Indulgence”, a James Beard House event
featuring famed Felidia chef, Fortunato Nicotra. I had previously interviewed Nicotra for Pasta’s Kitchen, regarding Felidia’s gluten-free menu and was extremely
impressed with his outgoing passion for gluten-free cooking, so one could only
imagine...
