"Out, damn'd spot"

-
It figures the night before Labor Day weekend - the last respectable time to wear white, I spill on my summer jeans. Luckily for me, the folks at Txikito (cozy Spanish tapas bar in Chelsea) came to my rescue with a Tide pen. I mean it was "sort of" their fault for offering such great dishes like Txistorra (spicy sausage with sidra) and Txilindron (pork spare ribs); not to mention the great wine list. With a quick wash, I should be all set for the weekend at the beach. How clever to have a supply of this miracle stain remover on hand - quite above and beyond. I highly advise other establishments to follow suit; it won't go unnoticed.

I have never considered myself a horticulturist, partly due to inhospitable environs - like most, my first New York apartment had no light. Regardless, I just can't seem to keep living plants, well, alive. I think it all started when I left for college and a family friend sent me off with a cactus. Usually a type of flora that is fairly resilient, I mean it thrives in desert heat with little water. However, a few weeks in my dorm room proved to be too much... It lasted just as long as the bulk pack of "cup of noodles" my parents bestowed me. So when a dear friend gave me a bamboo plant (a symbol of longevity and friendship), I was quite nervous about its lifespan. Thankfully three years later, it still flourishes.

Standard Fare

I had the great pleasure of catching up with two friends last night. I met both through the editorial world, one a few years back and the other more recently. The dynamic is quite nice and we always have a good laugh. We consider ourselves foodies and love to indulge our palates whenever possible. Our destination was The Standard Grill and our "call time" was 9:30PM. I arrived a bit earlier and the place was bustling. Our table was perfectly situated to provide a vantage point of the room and our fellow diners – socialite sighting included Eric Villency . Although I enjoyed my entire experience, I must say that I was not overly impressed with the food and felt the service a bit lacking… It wasn’t terrible by any means; it just seemed a bit off. The roast chicken “pour deux” was bit dry and our libations (although very inspired) seem to get lost on the perilous journey from the bar to the table. However, the sides were palatable and the bill was reasonable. Thanks CM for pick...

J'adore Paris

Not to sound like the Cole Porter song, but I do love Paris. I actually became a Francophile my junior year in college when I spent a semester in Aix en Provence . It was a love affair that would bring me to the Cote d'Azur and eventually Paris. Mr. K and I visited the "city of lights" last March and I rediscovered the city with him and deepened my affections. One of our special places is on the western-most point on the Ile de la Cite (as pictured above). Mr. K is actually in Paris now (sans moi), but I look forward to when we return together next year. A bientot.
