You may remember A-Tooch’s obsession when she discovered the Choice Eats event last year. It’s baaaaack. The happiness was bittersweet this year, when I thought I was going to be in Florida during the date of the event (yay for sunshine, boo for missing it). Since I recently found out I’ll be in town, I […]

Get Ready — Choice Eats 2012
Cookie Swap Party
A-Tooch loves a good reason to get the girls together to booze catch-up. Although a cookie swap is really a little too ‘girly’ for her, it seemed like the right fit for a winter event on a school night. Since we’re not the real housewives of NYC and work pretty long hours, I new I’d […]
Apple Pastries, Apple Picking and Apple Eating

If you know anything about apples, you’ll […]
Village Voice’s Brooklyn Pour – Ft. Greene

The Village Voice’s “Brooklyn Pour” craft beer festival, featuring over 100 local craft beers, from over 50 brewers, along with food and entertainment will host its inaugural event on Saturday, […]
Feast of San Gennaro – Little Italy, NYC
Don’t let the freckles fool you, a complete 1/2 of A-Tooch is Italian. It’s a pretty big influence in what she cooks, likes to eat and maybe subconsciously, the people she dates and temper she has (?) Every year for as long as I can remember we’ve made what I call the pilgrimage to mecca […]
