My Nephew Rocks - Literally!
January 24th, 2009 · No Comments · Baby, The Alex
Down in DC this weekend visiting the in-laws, and more importantly, my 2 year old nephew Stewart. After helping my brother-in-law Rob set his drum set back up in their newly (and very nicely!) renovated basement, I discovered just how much Stewart likes the drums… in fact the only thing he seems to like more [...]

Berrywild Fro-Yo
January 23rd, 2009 · No Comments · Quick Food, The Alex
Look everyone, it’s another fro-yo chain! Just what this city needs in this time of economic crisis and bone chilling cold. I don’t know much about Berrywild, but there do seem to be a few of them springing up. I came across this one after a visit to the acupuncturist and figured I’d give it [...]

Merkley Lunch: Phil’s Pizza
January 22nd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Quick Food, The Alex
Ok, so I’ve been working at Merkley + Partners here on Varick St for a long time (8 years!) and in all that time I’ve never actually set foot in Phil’s Pizza, a tiny box of a place right down the street. While I love pizza, it’s never really been a lunch food for me, [...]

Movie Review: Get Smart
January 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Movies, The Alex
I wasn’t expecting much from Get Smart, a big screen adaptation of the hit TV series from the 60’s about the super secret American spy agency CONTROL and their never ending battle with arch enemy KAOS. I never really watched the show, and given the usual quality of movie adaptations of TV shows…well let’s just [...]
Tales of the Sublime - Momofuku Ko and French Laundry - Part 1: Ko
May 20th, 2008 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Alex
Sorry the posts have been so absent since…well…let’s just say a while. Lots of big doings since our honeymoon. We bought an apartment in Park Slope (so expect a lot more brooklyn based blogging to come down the pike in the near future), and just got back from a trip to Napa Valley where we [...]

Le Tub - The Alex
October 30th, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Alex
Down in Florida this weekend to attend the wedding of Julie Silver, a family friend (a lovely wedding btw) and to visit my Grandma (92 and going strong). We had a 8pm flight home on Sunday so while relaxing by the pool in my grandma’s building in Hollywood, I utilized the magic of the iPhone [...]

Chelsea Royal Diner - The Alex
October 17th, 2007 · No Comments · Restaurants, The Alex
So a quick playful one today. This past weekend E and I went up to her parent’s summer house in New Hampshire to help close things up for the season. On the way back to the city Sunday we met up with one of her high school friends Sarah and her husband Dan for dinner [...]
