Cafe Society / CSNY
Wednesday, March 26, 2008
While walking my Jack Russell, I stumbled across a new place opening on 16th Street, where Steak Frites used to be. The glass doors read Cafe Society Cafe Society and CSNY. While the space has enough tables and seats for a full-fledged restaurant, the decor looks more like a modern bar/lounge. I didn’t see any […]

Wednesday, March 26, 2008
I’m still stuck at home, sick of all the soup places I’ve ordered from.

Who is Padma Lakshmi?
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
Most foodies know Padma as the host of Top Chef but she’s also a former supermodel, somewhat successful actress, and has written two cookbooks. Yes, I’m incredibly envious of her.

Carrot Cousins
Sunday, March 23, 2008
Happy Easter! In honor of bunnies, lets talk about carrots. We were watching Alton Brown the other night and he mentioned that carrots and cumin were cousins.
