On a mellow Sunday evening, I was fortunate enough to revisit Brava Wine Bar in Lenox. It’s hard to say exactly what made it the perfect evening, but the scenery, complete with a dusting of fresh snow, certainly contributed. Seriously, with the holiday lights still on display Lennox looked absolutely magical! What a beautiful little … Continue reading Bravo, Brava

Brooks Brothers suits
… my taste for customer service, that is. I don’t often shop at Brooks Brothers (their clothes are well tailored but a bit conservative for my lifestyle), but after visiting their Lee, MA outlet location twice in the last few months, they just may have made a customer out of me.

Believe me, pushing through a ten mile run is a lot easier when you know that the evening's meal is a reward worth working towards. My second Chicago run led me along the lake, north of the Navy Pier … Continue reading Whole hog at The Purple Pig
Finding my rhythm in Chicago
I started this post the day I returned from a quick weekend away at the beginning of a week that ended up feeling really long. I've got a folder full of these aborted writings, but I decided to revisit this one after catching up on last Sunday's New York Times. The featured magazine was about … Continue reading Finding my rhythm in Chicago
