I have another new favorite restaurant. Surprise! But this one you have to make your reservation weeks in advance, which hasn’t been my style since Minetta Tavern. Not a huge fan of planning my dinners three weeks in advance, so who knows when I’ll actually get to go back. But anyway. It’s La Esquina and [...]

I went home last weekend for about four seconds. Had a flight going out Friday night and sat on the plane for three hours before it was canceled. The earliest flight I could get on the next day departed at 2:40 p.m. So I ended up spending only a good 36 hours in Michigan. But [...]

Somewhere along the way I got the idea in my head that I needed to try the Noho Star. The pear and walnut salad, specifically, when ended up being only okay. The best salad in NYC is still the all chopped up from Cowgirl. Oh, Cowgirl. But I took the girls to Noho Star when [...]

This is my sisby. Her nickname is Sambe (Som-bie). It’s a long story. She turned 21 last week so she came to New York. One of her favorite things to do when she visits is go to Red Mango. So we went there twice. I mean how can it not be one of your favorite [...]

Have you ever had Ethopian food? Do you like it? Does it make you want to visit Ethiopia? Does it make you feel one with the earth? I think I’d rather use a fork. We went to Bati this week for my friend Laura’s birthday. She loves Ethiopian food so 11 of us went to [...]

Seeing as how, I am City Mitten… when I go to certain places, I make people do certain things. When I was in D.C. this past weekend, my one goal was to go to Ray’s Hell Burger in Arlington, VA. There were a few grumbles from a few friends who wanted to keep napping (seriously) [...]

If I had my own cupcake shop, it would have an awesome name. That goes without saying. When I say the sign for, “Hello Cupcake,” in D.C. I thought, “Hey, that’s me!” In college when I was a designer for The State News, we created a page of valentines for people to cut out and [...]
