i don’t know about you, but i feel like i will never have enough notebooks. i horde them (i have piles of these at home), i can’t help myself from wanting more and so keep buying them when i don’t need them and always have some new idea how this pad will finally keep me organized. while i used...

of course the weather is just about perfect today so this post is not as on point as i had hoped it would be. silly me, thinking that march would be full of wet, cold, rainy, gray days and so you all would need lots of ideas for how not to go stir crazy. so, maybe not for this weekend, but i would...
snow, at last!...
yesterday got away from me a bit. while i was a little sleep deprived (this puppy thing will do that to you), i got some bad news in the middle of my morning which then threw me off for the rest of the day. fortunately, now a day later, it seems a little less daunting, and of course i am so happy...cafe grumpy: the greenpoint version is b...

happy february everyone. not the most exciting of months, but for me of all the winter months it is my favorite. january is long, but it’s now over, and february usually goes by in a flash: our multiple anniversaries are tucked in here (we have the official day we got married before the...

brooklyn mercantile has been on 5th avenue for a couple of years now, right across from j.j. byrne park and the great little farmer’s market on the weekends (which i am really missing now that it is the dead of winter). i hadn’t stopped in much till recently, and then i really liked...

i am not a buffalo style chicken wing expert (and there are lots of opinions on this topic: see here and here for starters). nonetheless i think i can wholeheartedly recommend the wings from bonnie’s grill in park slope. bonnie’s wings show up regularly on the wing rankings, and...

earlier this year, on a side street quite close to one of the best blocks on park slope’s 5th avenue, a little home design shop opened up. and while 5th avenue does have a lot of great shops – other than matter which is a bit high end and esoteric – there are no real home stores...

this past march felt like we were in birthday party craziness. i think we were going to a birthday party if not every day of every weekend, at least once a weekend, and what’s a poor parent to do. fortunately we have a great little spot lulu’s cuts and toys that has every variety of...
