I have been back in New York for two and a half weeks so bear with me while catch up on New York-related posts.  On the first Friday night after the first full work week of 2010, Pete and I went to Bar Bao for a late dinner on the Upper West Side.  We went to Bar Bao straight from a concert at the New York Philharmonic (my first time at the symphony!).We both loved Bar Bao!  It’s a big space but Read More »
Off Abbie’s photo of the impending sentence for Baby Buddha, I place a photo taken by the talented Kim Dunham on a Rat hearing.  Sorry, make that an offical Forum.Sign me up. You recall I touched on these mystery creatures of the night here.  While this is a subterranean rodent who creepy crawls on the streets, I must admit I don’t miss seeing those shifty eyes, yet, it’s such a Read More »

But there are grassroots efforts springing up in communities all over the United States and across the world who are bringing the opportunities to help right to our front doors. Here’s a sampling of local, national and international groups that ar Read More »
This is a continuation of missing New York sushi week.  The list would be incomplete without Tomoe Sushi (at 172 Houston Street).  When visiting, I hit this joint circa lunchtime with AKP for some serious fish.  The sashimi melts in your mouth and the sushi rolls are so soft; they almost disintegrate.  The house made soy sauce is divine and it’s been such a holy experience of food sometimes Read More »
While walking up Third Ave yesterday evening, I was fortunate to be stuck behind a rather well-shaped woman, wearing what I can only describe as latex leggings tucked into her boots, with a short winter jacket showing up a pretty fantastic ass.I know what you’re thinking; it’s not like this is an abnormal occurrence in New York City.But that didn’t make what happened next any le Read More »
Spared from subzero temperatures, only by Uniqlo Heat Tech (shock: it’s the magic of plain old polyester), we’re happy to be back reporting from around New York. If our workload is anything to measure anything else by, start tending your green shoots and act as if you’re done with the downturn til you really are.This post traverses insignifica to significa in that order.

I just dropped my daughter Lulu back at St. John’s University in Queens, NY after a month’s break, so I’m feeling a little blue (actually, more like deep purple). I’m also in a New York state of mind– meaning I’m simultaneously wishing I’d been given $1 billion in bonuses that I was spending at the St. Regis ordering room service and Jimmy Choo shoes – and wishing that I was out of th Read More »
I am still getting over the hangover from the weekend of drinking and merriment. Anastasia’s birthday celebration NYC-style was a wonderful time, filled to the brim with booze.Seeing Anastasia was like a day hadn’t passed since the last time we had hung out. Of course we talk pretty much every day so there isn’t a thing we don’t know about what is going on in our lives. Bu Read More »
First thing’s first, the answer to  the bonus question from Monday.  What former iconic place in New York City would be just a lone apostrophe if your removed all of the consonants from its name?  See for yourself.  (Be thankful I had my safe search on.) Yep, the late great CBGB’s.This is the kind of puzzling that I love to do.  One of the goals of this blog is to discover as well as Read More »

 Read what you missed; installment one +  two + three.At five o’clock Joey was quick to pack his things and head to the tavern with a work buddy.  The computer was off and his wad of trash was piled high; something out of a Shel Siverstein peom. It was 4:58 and the clock wasn’t moving.  Someone once told him a watchful clock or pot never boils.  Boy, were they right.  He heard the fai Read More »
New York Canyon, originally uploaded by CVerwaal.I still love shooting with my 35mm film cameras. Here is a shot from Rockefeller Center taken with my Olympus OM2-n and the Zuiko 40mm f2.0 lens on Ilford XP2-400 film. I think film still handles strong contrasts better than most digitals.

Martha Stewart’s talk show films a block away from where I work.  Sometimes when I’m walking to work in the morning, I’ll pass the queue of people waiting to see a live taping, and I always tell myself I should try and get tickets for a taping, but then I never do.  So naturally, this video of Martha Stewart fills me with regret.  So much regret: That said, just because I didn&# Read More »
