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).

NYC Restaurant Reviews – Empellon, Craftbar and Cavatappo

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 […]
Wordless Wednesdays — A Pie for Mikey
TFAW don’t usually do the “Wordless Wednesday” thing (we’re too chatty, SEE and we’re already ruining it). But this time it felt appropriate. A Pie for Mikey (consumed at Blue Smoke, NYC)
