Last night, after seeing a movie at Film Forum, my parents and I met Dave for dinner at Gobo in the West Village. The Asian vegetarian eatery has been a long standing go-to for me and my parents. While I will be the first to admit that some of the food perhaps seems healthier than [...]

Brunch at Public

One of Dave’s Columbia classmates celebrated his birthday today with a brunch at Public in Nolita. We arrived and were shown to a beautiful private room. One look around the restaurant and it is no surprise that its designers (AvroKO) won the James Beard award for Best Restaurant Design. Once seated, we tucked into an array [...]

My CSA started this week. I am very excited. My share comes from Chubby Bunny farm in Connecticut. Above is what I picked up on Tuesday: (clockwise from leftmost bowl) salad greens, arugula, spinach, broccoli rabe, breakfast radishes, mint, strawberries, Mutsu apples. I can’t wait to cook up the greens, and maybe even make some strawberry ice [...]
Home sweet Savoy

Savoy, where I am a stage (fancy culinary term for intern), was just reviewed in The New York Times. I realize that it may be hard to take my word as unbiased, but the food really is quite good. Make your reservations now, before it becomes too hard to get one.

If you are in the mood for a flawlessly executed meal, cooked using the freshest, seasonal produce, served to you by friendly but professional staff, do yourself a favor and make a reservation at Blue Hill. The Obamas did. Blue Hill, here in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, is the older sibling to Blue Hill at Stone [...]
Breakfast by Dave

Boys, when left to their own devices, will eat like boys. I heard Dave frying some eggs in the kitchen this morning, expecting him to come out with his usual weekend breakfast of eggs and toast. Instead, he emerged from the kitchen with the above plate. Clockwise from top: cinnamon raisin English muffin half topped [...]
Fresh, organic fare

Last night, my 10 year high school reunion was held at the bar at La Bottega inside the Maritime Hotel. Dave and I had decided to meet for dinner beforehand, and I suggested we meet in the lobby of Chelsea Market, which is across the street from the Maritime. After surveying the options, we decided [...]
If heaven was a sandwich

My mother and I had lunch today at Josephina. Surrounded by tables full of (significantly) older ladies, we had a delicious meal. Above is my jumbo lump crabmeat melt with brie, avocado and red onion with a side of mesclun greens in lemon-thyme dressing. As I write this, I am fantasizing about enjoying the second [...]

Among the three women chosen this year is my friend Erin Sprague who holds the Guinness World Record for being the youngest woman to have run a marathon on all seven continents. In conjunction with her [...]
