Brooklyn Moms: Where You At?

May 21, 2010

Before I had Elise I didn’t know any Moms in our neighborhood. Sort of surprising considering we live in Park Slope, perhaps one of the most kid populated neighborhoods in NYC, but I suppose our focus was more on eating out, happy hour, traveling, work and our dog (Hi, Sash!), so we didn’t really have [...]

A Street Fair for Foodies

May 16, 2010

As we’ve said before, the 5th avenue street fair in Park Slope is one of the best street fairs in NYC. It’s not of these zeppolle, mozzareppa disgustingness street fairs (well, it is a little bit, but not totally), it’s a street fair for people who love food. And thanks to all the great restaurants [...]

Last weekend Karen and I did something I’ve had on my To Do list for a long time: go on the Atlantic Ave. Underground Subway tunnel Tour. The tunnel is officially the oldest subway tunnel in the United States and the only way to get there is to climb down the manhole in the middle [...]

June 28, 2008

While flying to San Francisco on Virgin America (my new favorite airline, btw) I stopped to watch this show on Current.TV about Brooklyn graffiti artists in New Orleans called Your Neighbor’s Steps: A New Orleans art collective works to establish installations in areas hardest hit by Katrina, attracting people to see the art and thus [...]

Some Garden Renovations

May 20, 2008

This past weekend was one of those amazing weekends in which you are productive from beginning to end. Almost to the end I guess. Ending at the Dram Shop after the 5th avenue street fair probably wasn’t super productive for a Sunday afternoon, but we did get to catch up with some friends and watch [...]

April 15, 2008

Check out the trailer for my buddy Jon’s movie, The Wackness, due out in July. With some luck, Karen and I might be able to catch a screening prior to the official release, in which case we’ll report back and tell you all to go see it. Read some more about it at I Watch [...]

Don't go chasing waterfalls

January 18, 2008

Check out an artist’s rendition of these upcoming aqua-sculptures set to be installed in the East River this Summer/Fall. I have to say, I’m a real sucker for grand-scale installations like this. Also, as I’m in the same boat as the post’s author, and get to see the Brooklyn Bridge on the way to work [...]

January 8, 2008

… and its only a few blocks away from our apartment! Pacific Standard has also concocted some interesting prizes for your loyalty. My favorite is the “all-expenses-paid trip to Williamsburg”. If that’s not enough to get you excited, maybe a word with the drinking robot they’re building will convince you.

Manlio is in town? Let's go ride some bulls!

December 30, 2007

Friday night Manlio was in NYC so we grabbed some dinner with him before heading into town. In the cab ride, he mentioned a bar that Dennis had recommend. This bar, he said, had a mechanical bull. That was all he needed to say before Alex and I were requesting the location and directing the [...]
