Our Bronx weekend took us to Polombo Pastry Shop on Arthur Avenue in Little Italy, twice.
Whenever I go to Mike’s Pastry in the North End of Boston, mostly when I am giving an outsider a tour of the city, I feel like I have to buy a cannoli. In this little Italian pastry shop, I [...]

It’s finally here.
Lisa, Bryce and I are going to pack it up and road trip it down to New York tonight to stay with our friend Caitlin in her new condo in the Bronx for the weekend. I have driven through it more times than I can count, back and forth [...]

Unfortunately I didn’t have enough time to prepare a [...]

It’s officially been three months in our new apartment, as of two days ago, and we are really making progress in the homeyness department. Candles abound, a comfy couch complements a vintage, orange chair and Mike’s great grandmother’s dining room table is great for holding everything but our meals.
However, aside from my beautiful world map, [...]
Within a quarter mile of the house in which I grew up, there is a candlepin bowling alley that I frequented for birthday parties and field trips. It is called Fairway Bowling. From what I can remember, the place is a time machine that shoots you into the 60’s, with its floral carpet and green [...]
