us open: a tennis lover’s heaven...
when i was growing up i was obsessed with tennis and i watched all the major tournaments on t.v. for hours. and so the us open was a particularly amazing thing for me, especially when i first got to go there in person after moving to new york. i couldn’t believe you just got on the subway...crawford & doyle and corner booksto...
i am happy to report that after months of not reading much at all — this is what happens when you work all day, feed the kids and put them to bed eventually, then spend the later evening hours glued to the computer — i have finally started to read again. thanks to our little vacation,...spring: little bits of high and low fun...

checking out spring is a seasonal ritual for me. when we come down to dumbo, which is not all the time and usually more during the nicer months as that fantastic ship playground can get might cold and windy in the winter times, we usually focus on some kind of food treat (jacques torres or the brooklyn...

a year and a half ago i was subjected to two straight weeks of the great grand jury experience for new york state. the highlight was that we all got to sit around in a very fancy building well stocked with delightful vending machines. among the downsides — other than a lot of wasted time (why...

other than super easy access to the r train, which is a much underappreciated train i now realize, there is not much to like about 4th avenue. this is especially true after nyc brilliantly rezoned this strip of nyc yet failed to put any design requirements on the buildings. the result is something...

so we’re entering into the very last weeks of august and things are slowing down. i love this time of summer when there is just a hint of fall but new york is still incredibly mellow. everyone is out of town it seems, parking is no problem, and we can eat wherever we like (well almost) without...
waterpod project: an environment onto it...
the waterpod projecthas been floating around new york since the beginning of the summer, and last week i got to take grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins aboard to check out this self-sustaining art colony when it was docked off of joralemon street in brooklyn. the waterpod project is an...bjorn borg: knickers for the tennis obse...
björn borg is one of the more eccentric underwear shops i have checked out lately but the whole nostalgic tennis thing definitely made me want to check it out. my summers as a kid were spent playing tennis. a much older guy in our neighborhood, david freed, who coached davis cup in 1960 and...oms/b: midtown lunch so much better than...

it’s been a long while since i worked in midtown, and i don’t think i have ever missed the food scene there — until last week that is. in addition to crazy work hours, all i can remember of midtown life was lots of chain food, super cheap pizza and periodic high end lunches...
