Last night, I met a couple of friends in Schenectady at The Van Dyck for beers and a bite to eat. I've been to the Van Dyck, in its various incarnations, a couple of times over the years and have always thought of it as a cool space not living up to its potential.

Falvo’s Meats
If neither time nor money were obstacles, there are a few things I would do differently in terms of indulgence. I would insist upon having fresh flowers in my home - always.

For instance, breakfast is really easy - bagels for him and yogurt, fruit and granola for me. Simple, easy to find and substantial enough to hold us over until later in the day. Another great thing about traveling … Continue reading Food Porn – California style
Lark Street on a sunny day
What a gorgeous weekend, huh? For a change, I had nothing going on other than a series of mini-dates with friends. I got outside a bit, visited with my neighbors, and attended to some tasks involving seasonal wardrobe changes for myself and the boys. All in all a productive and relaxing couple of days. Lark Street … Continue reading Lark Street on a sunny day
