One Year in New York City: March 2008

http://oneyearinnewyorkcity.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

Monday, March 31, 2008. Came out tops at the domestic box office. This past weekend. To celebrate, here are twenty-one things I learned on our recent trip to Seattle and Las Vegas. [Warning: This post is a little scatter-brained, but it's hard to sum up a five-day trip in one blog post, especially if the trip included attending a movie premiere.]. 1 It's true: In Seattle, it rains like the dickens. 4 The only ingredients that should ever be in blueberry jam. Blueberries, sugar, water, pectin. 11 I discov...

One Year in New York City: One thing I thought I'd never do

http://oneyearinnewyorkcity.blogspot.com/2008/04/one-thing-i-thought-id-never-do.html

Thursday, April 24, 2008. One thing I thought I'd never do. I thought I'd never do this: Eat those White Castle burgers from the freezer section of the supermarket. But living in New York will change a guy. Listen, I love. White Castle. When I lived in New Jersey, there was a White Castle two miles down the road. At 2:00 in the morning, when you're hungry as all get-up after a night of playing Halo. So what drove me to it? So I bought a box, took it home, and nuked them. And then we ate. They wer...They ...

One Year in New York City: October 2007

http://oneyearinnewyorkcity.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

Thursday, October 18, 2007. Tonight, I saw one of the best movies I've ever seen in a theater. And it's a 25-year-old film. Sure, the film's artistic merits (great direction, bristling performances by stars Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer. A genre-bending screenplay) had much to do with how joyful the experience of watching Blade Runner: The Final Cut. Was for me. But that sparkling new print! Those new shots and effects!

One Year in New York City: May 2008

http://oneyearinnewyorkcity.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html

Friday, May 30, 2008. Single in the city. Variety, and occasionally slept (that is, when we weren't trying in vain to deactivate a housemate's car alarm in a torrential rainstorm at 4:00 AM). So I don't quite understand what it means to be really single; I've never lived alone. But this week, with Sarah in Italy again, I decided to see what it feels like being single in New York. Naturally, I started by going to a bar. A couple I knew invited me to hang out at 230 Fifth. And with that, the door slid open...

One Year in New York City: Duck and hen

http://oneyearinnewyorkcity.blogspot.com/2008/07/duck-and-hen.html

Thursday, July 10, 2008. Tonight, I did two things I've never done before, and both were done at the Marshall Stack. A beer-and-wine bar in the Lower East Side. Hang on a minute. I asked incredulously the first time I heard of the place. There's an actual bar called "The Marshall. We must go there immediately! I mean, seriously: I can hardly think of a better name for a bar. The second thing I did tonight: I had an Old Speckled Hen. You're a true gourmand of bird-sounding menu items. July 10, 2008 at 4:2...

One Year in New York City: Short notes: Fourth of July Edition

http://oneyearinnewyorkcity.blogspot.com/2008/07/short-notes-fourth-of-july-edition.html

Monday, July 7, 2008. Short notes: Fourth of July Edition. Some notes about this past weekend:. But you have to understand that I don't eat many hot dogs any more, so this was a special thing for me. Lesson learned the hard way: If you want the most satisfying hot dog-eating experience, never. Summer time would seem incomplete without seeing a Will Smith film, so to honor the tradition, the wife and I saw Hancock. On Thursday night, we went out with some friends to Corner Bistro.

One Year in New York City: Five to try

http://oneyearinnewyorkcity.blogspot.com/2008/07/five-to-try.html

Wednesday, July 16, 2008. New York is a pizza town, but it's also a burger town, which is great because I'm a burger guy; click here. For more on my burger adventures. I'm also a list guy, so it was fun reading this list of Alan Richman's Five Favorite Burgers in New York City. But not any of the others. (I did. Eat a steak dinner at Peter Luger many years ago, but I obviously have to return for the burger.). Let's see how quickly I can go through Richman's list, shall we? July 17, 2008 at 4:44 PM. P]Zen...

One Year in New York City: A hamburger today

http://oneyearinnewyorkcity.blogspot.com/2008/04/hamburger-today.html

Tuesday, April 1, 2008. You may or may not care to know that I ate three cheeseburgers in the span of two days last weekend. I couldn't help myself, really. The bad part was that two of the three were eaten at popular fast food joints not known for their gourmet standards. The good part was that they were delicious. As much as I like a good hamburger, I'm somewhat befuddled by the New York restaurant trend of serving a pricey burger. I'm not even talking about Chef Daniel Boulud's $29 DB Burger.
