Food, Inc. is a movie everybody's talking about, which opens today in New York, LA and San Fransisco. The film explores the dark underbelly of the what actually goes into that piece of chicken, soda, hamburger or chips that we often don't think twice about popping into our mouths. "The...

Adventures in (Secret) Dining: Dinner Down on the (Queens County) Farm

1 Comments | Posted May 20, 2009 | 04:08 PM (EST)


As much as New Yorkers love the city, there's nothing we love more than a getaway. That's why when I found out that the launch of Huffpost Blogger Cathy Erway and Akiko Moorman's supper club Hapa Kitchen was going to be a benefit dinner for the Queens County...

Adventures in (Secret) Dining: Ted and Amy's Underground Supper Club

Posted May 14, 2009 | 12:33 PM (EST)


It's possible, it the biggest and most anonymous city in America for dinner with a group of strangers to feel completely familiar and relaxed. The Ted and Amy Supper Club was my second foray into the underground supper club scene -- amateur chefs hosting under the radar dinner parties...

You know it's rude to talk loudly on the phone in a restaurant, to leave your ringer on in the movies, or to never reply to a personal email. But you know what doesn't have such clear dos and don'ts? The latest social networking rage -- Twitter. Twitter has taken...

Adventures in (Secret) Dining: My First Visit to an Underground Supper Club

Posted February 1, 2009 | 08:10 PM (EST)


There's nothing New Yorkers love more than a secret, but best things in this city you can't find, you have to just stumble upon. And boy did I just fall into something amazing.

We May Be Screwed, but I'm Still Thankful

Posted November 27, 2008 | 09:10 PM (EST)


There's a Chinese saying I'm particularly taken with - it's "may you live in interesting times." In culture that generally prizes stability over all else, it's meant to be a curse. But in our rock and roll, roller coaster-loving country, "May you live in interesting times" seems sexy and dangerous....

Attention Shoppers (and Economic End Days Predictors): It's Not All Doom and Gloom

Posted November 17, 2008 | 06:27 PM (EST)


I think it's fair to say the general conversation about the economy borders on, well, the hysterical. I'm certainly no economist (not that they know anything about the economy anyway!) but radical changes in spending and behavior may be completely warranted. Even for people like myself whose job has not...

To Hate Like This Never Felt So Good -- Taking Revenge on Sarah

Posted September 19, 2008 | 02:55 PM (EST)


From the get-go, I've been pretty Machiavellian about this election. "Do what you gotta do, Obama, Axelrod et al. I won't criticize too much as long as you make it to the White House." Winning campaigns are a lot like sausage, I figured. While you enjoy the tasty finished product,...

Hook, Line, and Sinker: NBC Swallows Opening Ceremonies Propaganda

Posted August 9, 2008 | 12:50 PM (EST)


First off, I want to say that from an artistic, creative standpoint the Opening Ceremonies exceeded my expectations. Director Zhang Yimou deserves heaping praise for the 2008 drummers, the synchronized, dancing printing blocks, the human calligraphy on the LCD screen, and lighting of the Olympic flame.

But despite the...

2008 Tax Rebate Checks: What Does a Bush-Hating Liberal Spend Hers On?

Posted April 28, 2008 | 11:41 AM (EST)


America's economy is a lot like the sinking Titanic, and instead of a shiny lifeboat, today the Bush administration is throwing us an old, deflated tire in the form of a $600 rebate check. I agree with the large contingent of experts who don't think this will do much...
