Angelinos at Angelica

As Kyle and I headed to dinner on the eve of September 11th, the sky was illuminated with a beam of light where the twin towers once stood.  It was both eerie and inspiring and when I saw it I thought of each person who’s life changed that day.  I know that this post is from last week (and therefore old news), so I won’t share my reflections on 9/11, but it was a very patriotic weekend to be in NYC.  If there were a way to feel proud and somber at the same time,… Read more >

Eataly

  I haven’t been to Italy since the summer after I graduated high school (I’m not going to mention the year), but I have a very vivid recollection of my time there.  It helps that I kept a psychotically detailed journal, too (complete with meal selections and hilarious commentary on my family’s travel shenanigans).  Evidently I was a blogger (without a blog) long before the days of facebook and twitter.  Anyway.  I’m getting off topic. Walking into Eataly was like entering a European marketplace.    Do you want to eat or do you want to… Read more >

Bonobo’s on the brain

  After a wonderful morning of sleeping in, running in the park, and brunching at Joe, I headed downtown to pop into my old office.  I just wanted to say hello to some of my friends from work.    And by “office”, I mean hospital.  And by “some of my friends” I mean two people.  Because almost everyone else has quit since I left.  I had been texting with them the days leading up to my trip, so I knew they’d be working that day…but I didn’t anticipate anyone else caring that I was coming… Read more >

Oh Joe

In New York, there are things that are expensive for no reason, and then there are things that are expensive because they are the best. Joe is expensive because it is the best.  It’s called “the art of coffee” for a reason.  It’s worth the extra cash flow.  And since New Yorkers are accustomed to paying more for quality, it’s why the coffee shop thrives. They have several locations in Manhattan (and even one in Brooklyn), and will soon be opening another on the UES.  Gossip Girl, did that get your attention?  Good morning Upper… Read more >

Spring Street Natural

On Friday night, Kyle and I met up with Marisa for dinner in SOHO.    I have a long list of to-try restaurants in NYC, so being back for the weekend is a nice chance to cross some more off.  Spring Street Natural has been around for over four decades, serving natural cuisine with an emphasis on fresh and healthy fare.  The menu is really diverse, with choices in each course ranging from completely vegan and macrobiotic plates to innovative to seafood and poultry entrees.  This makes it a perfect place to take your non-vegan… Read more >
