I’m not going to lie: I’m so obsessed with Rachel Zoe, it’s bananas. I’ve always thought she’s totally had it going on, but with the recent return of her Bravo show and its accompanying reruns of the past two seasons, I’m totally smitten. Just out of curiosity, I took a look at her website this [...]
Red in the Face
Here I sit, sunburned, covered in a residue of sweat and sunscreen, bruised and aching from a spin on the Cyclone and to top that off, I’ve got sand in places only a handful of people have had the privilege of viewing. This all means only one thing: I spent today at Coney Island. I [...]
Fartfest 2011
I can’t call Friday’s 2nd Annual Cheesemonger Invitational “Stinkfest” because that title already belongs to an event held by one of the festival’s competitors, Stinky BKLYN, so let’s just keep it real and call it what it really was: “Fartfest 2011.” Lady Levy, Ali G and I took the 7 train two stops out to [...]
Fage is Fugly
Something about yogurt totally grosses me out. It must be a matter of texture, as I tend to put yogurt in the same camp as mayonnaise, ranch dressing and sour cream. Ugh, just thinking about those three condiments makes me gag. So imagine my happiness when I found out that “the system” would require me [...]

The abounding humidity transforms me into a sweaty mess the second I leave my apartment. While I schlep through town with sweat dripping from my brow and clothes clinging [...]
More than a Mouthful
So it’s come to this: it’s 12:15 AM on Monday June 27th and I just ordered pizza. Why? Because nothing goes better than a DVR’d episode of “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” than a greasy pizza pie or a heap of penne drenched in vodka sauce. While the two do pair together as seamlessly [...]
A Biscuit Abounds in Brooklyn
Dani Zandi persuaded me to cross the river into Brooklyn to visit Pies ‘n Thighs yesterday. I’ve been going through somewhat of a biscuit obsession as of late, and she claimed the ones she had sampled at this Williamsburg locale were the best she’s had. The long journey aside (anything outer-borough, no matter how many [...]
The Greatest Adventure
There’s nothing more American than a trip to the amusement park. With barely any history in this country, we’ve basically been forced to invent our culture as we’ve gone along, and whether you love ‘em or hate ‘em, these Godawful but simultaneously oh-so-wonderful destinations are a signature part of the American way of life. Only [...]
