This thing is crazy. I see it almost everyday and I can’t get enough. When it was built in 1930 it was the largest building in the world and to this day remains one of the largest. But it’s so much more than a monstrous structure. The Mart possesses a personality [...]
Whats up with foam on food at decent restaurants? I find it ugly, tasteless and a cover up. What ever happened to a perfectly reduced sauce that punches flavorful notes across a fine dish of perfectly prepared food? I think foam is a waste of time and, again, gross. Or, are chefs making big bucks [...]

Here is one of the most common throats – ” I love your work, I would love for you to be entirely creative and design something unique to me and my style. Now, here is what I was thinking you should do for me.” Yep, you know who you are. The funny thing is, as [...]
What IS sexy!! It means something different to everyone, but is there a common thread that makes us all swoon when sexy happens to us? I have a long list of sexy, it gets longer everyday: Rainy days spent reading the NY Times in bed with a cup of coffee and reading glasses, men in [...]
Okay, I get it; you buy a bunch of stuff at the best price and shove it in a closet – the gift closet- for those all too familiar moments when you need a gift, fast. If I were to receive a gift closet gift, I would think; ahh, how nice I just received a [...]
