It’s like a weird dream that I didn’t even know I had come true. There’s a sandwich shop dedicated to peanut butter sandwiches. Peanut Butter & Co. Since 1998, the sign says – why was I not informed earlier? They have 11...

Hot chocolate, a peanut butter cookie, and a map! This is the third post this month featuring Broadway, and the second one combining it with chocolate. Not the most helpful web site, but giving credit where soupy, chocolaty credit is due: The City Bakery on 18th...

This might be the beginning of a new post-thanksgiving tradition. On this year’s black Friday, I met N for dim sum at Dim Sum Go Go near City Hall. DSGG has a funky mod color scheme, cartless service and quality generally a cut above that on offer at the giant...

Last night I attended an excellent photo lecture by Andrea Robbins and Max Becher sponsored by the Photographic Resource Center in affiliation with the New Center for Arts and Culture at the BU Photonics Center. (Photonics Center?? What goes on at such a place?) And...

OK, that’s not exactly what I meant, but apparently, I wasn’t the only person to have a lousy travel experience in France recently. While at the Hilton in Paris, Alex suffered mightily and wrote this “nastygram” while waiting for somebody to...

As we approach Thanksgiving season, there’s much talk of poultry, from the traditionally pardoned presidential turkey to the migration of Canada Geese to the ever trendy and and labor-intensive turducken to that excellent low-cholesterol portmanteau, torfurkey....

Monday’s team meeting came with catered chinese lunch. Late in the afternoon, I took the bag of fortune cookies up to reception and put them in the empty candy basket. I took one yesterday and one today. Yesterday’s cookie fortune: Your day will be...
