So much good stuff to share, I couldn’t wait till Monday! I’ve been thrilled to discover that children’s clothing is so much more stylish now than when I was shopping for Chelsea and Conor back in the day. And CHaLK nyc is a perfect example of how far things have come. CHaLK nyc is the creation of [...]
the high line: (early) spring
May 3rd, 2013
I was so excited about my next installment in my “Year on the High Line” series. I mean, after the winter we’ve had, who wouldn’t be thrilled to welcome spring by spending the day at one of the city’s most fabulous parks? And then I woke up to a day like most we’ve had this [...]
let’s hang out!
May 2nd, 2013
I’ve got an invitation that you simply can’t refuse. The Brooklyn Flea. A fabulous cause. These cookies. And me! Yes, I will be “working” at the Flea this Saturday, doing a shift at the NYC Bake Sale, to benefit No Kid Hungry. This is a remarkable organization, which I wrote about last year when I [...]
nyc-etc: i want candy
April 19th, 2013
It’s NO secret that we love sweets around here. And between our many jaunts to Economy Candy and Sockerbit (not to mention the rotating array of fruit rolls, caramels and brittle that come out of my kitchen), I usually feel like I’ve got the whole “sugar thing” well covered. And then Chelsea sent me this [...]
nyc-etc: no longer empty
March 22nd, 2013
I’m always impressed with the wealth of really stellar programming that Noah and I can enjoy at so many New York City museums. We’ve done“First Saturdays” at the New Museum (site of THIS memorable exhibit – remember the nude sensory tank?). And we recently participated in a special kids’ day at the Whitney, which coincided [...]
nyc-etc: dun-well doughnuts
February 25th, 2013
In last week’s “blogiversary” post, I wrote about doing more regularly scheduled features in the coming year. And while I’ve written – often – about my latest NYC “finds”, the posts themselves have been a bit sporadic. They’ve been some of my very favorites to write, so I’ve decided to turn them into a monthly [...]
winter with a toddler: your “survival” kit
February 12th, 2013
When we dropped Noah’s nap back in August, I didn’t quite notice the change to my day-to-day at first. He has school every afternoon, and even the weekends were easy enough to fill – as long as we’re outside Noah is a happy camper. But once the weather turned, things got a bit more…challenging. Especially weekends. [...]
chinese new year at ruby foo’s!
February 4th, 2013
Did you know that next Sunday (February 10th) is Chinese New Year? It’s the Year of the Snake and we’ll be celebrating at Ruby Foo’s restaurant in New York City: Doesn’t this look like a great event? I was asked to review a recipe for the event, and immediately gravitated toward the pepper beef. Conor [...]
the high line: winter
January 7th, 2013
This is personal. The High Line – from the moment it opened 3 1/2 years ago – has become a very special place for me. I’m drawn to it in every season, and make several trips a year just to walk it. It’s magical for me. Chelsea and I have had an annual “girl’s night” [...]
lunch hour nyc
January 2nd, 2013
Happy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season – it went by way too fast… Mine was great – a bit of a whirlwind but so much fun, with, of course, lots of great outings. Which, of course, I look forward to sharing with you! The first is an exhibit currently on [...]
