September 27, 2013 Dumpling Cafe

Met up with an old co worker one day after work. I joke with her that she is more Asian than I am, since she knows all the best places to go for Asian cuisine. While I was standing across the street waiting for her to show up, a family walks up to me and […]

September 17, 2013 Red Lantern

My parents came into town and took us out to dinner. They offered up PF Changs, and I countered with Red Lantern. Still Chinese, but a more grown up feel – PF Changs feels very chain-like to me, with mediocre service, and most of the time it’s pretty dirty there – those lettuce wraps can […]

April 20, 2013 Easter in New York

Our office decided to move April 1, so I went down to NYC to coordinate the whole thing. I stayed at the Standard High Line, located in the Meatpacking District, 848 Washington Street at 13th, just steps away from Chelsea Market. I met Adam, our corporate sales manager, and got a tour of the hotel. […]

February 20, 2011 Madarin Gourmet

We stopped in to pick up some take out from Mandarin Gourmet. I am always on the hunt for great Chinese food. We peeked into the dining room, I really liked the traditional look of it. The broth of the wonton soup was flavorful-not watered down like some can be. The wontons were tasty, minus […]

January 3, 2011 Sichuan Gourmet

What does everyone do on Christmas day? Movies and Chinese food. We skipped the movies, but headed over to the Sichuan Gourmet restaurant on Beacon Street, where the old Chef Changs used to be. As predicted, it was mobbed. Pretty casual and minimal decor. It feels as though they are hurrying you in and hurrying […]

December 27, 2010 Christmas in New York

The iconic tree at Rockefeller Center. This year my present was a surprise trip to New York City…to see the Rockettes. I had never been to Radio City-nor had I ever seen the Rockettes. If I did see the Rockettes, there would be no road show for me, I wanted to see them at Radio […]

October 13, 2010 Myers and Chang

So when I think of the south end, I think hip, trendy, expensive. I think that what makes Myers and Chang ‘hip’ are the people who go there to eat, not the place itself. The outside is pretty darn modern, the whole front wall is glass with images of their logo and a big red […]

October 12, 2010 Lavender

I must say, I really do love Lavender. I hope they survive, and I say that because every time we are in there for lunch (I can’t attest to their dinner crowd), it is pretty quiet, we are usually the only table (or there may be one or two other tables but that’s it). As […]
