This will not do wonders for my diet.

Obika opened today, coincidentally the day I’ve decided to get back on some semblance of a diet after about two months of slipping back into a horrible diet of street meats and beer, on the heels of a relatively healthy past six months of working out and eating more or less veggie. Hrm. [via Midtown [...]

Labor Day Weekend

So I’m in a bit of a quandary. Well, I suppose it’s a good problem to have. The short version is that I found out that one of the guys I work for is trying to take off work next Tuesday through Friday, meaning that I’ll have painfully little to do around the office and [...]

A brief burger interlude.

Despite the fact that I have another wedding to hit up this weekend and vanity dictates that I attempt to look my best, every now and then one must indulge in an overpriced burger stuffed with short ribs and foie gras.  I’ve been hitting this spot up every now and again for a few years [...]

Things about yesterday that were awesome (in chronological order):

1. I finished cleaning my apartment. Mopped and everything. 2. I secured Monday off to hang out with my sister and meet my baby niece. 3. The weather. It was gorgeous outside. 5. After my late night at the office on Tuesday, I arrived at work and had practically nothing to do. 6. Accounting finally [...]

Weekend Roundup (New York Edition)

What a kick-ass weekend. Drinks at Hotel Delmano on Friday evening followed by meeting up with LBJ, BP, BJ and friends for some drinks in the EV to welcome their pal BS, freshly transplanted from Boston to his new spot in the EV. Made the ill-fated mistake of chatting up the bartender over many, many [...]

Kudos to Alan Richman.

Seriously. Big Nick’s is blowing up the spot lately. It’s not just that I’ve had it on the brain lately for some reason. Clearly. Alan Richman just slotted it just behind Shake Shack in his top five list of New York burger places. Strong play.

That was perhaps a little too much party.

Wow. That was brutal. I seriously think I knocked drinks down at the rate of about two an hour all weekend long. Had a few quick beers by the office with a superhero-in-training on Thursday afternoon. Headed down to the No Age show at the South Street Seaport with JM, JS and MM on Friday [...]

Too much food…

So I’m fairly convinced I’ve gained somewhere between 5 and 8 pounds this summer. And it’s not over yet. Admittedly, I wear it quite well. And I probably had room to spare, as it were. But the madness has to stop. I’ve been justifying, like, 8 meals a day by telling myself that while I’m at [...]

Happy 4th of July, all.

So I’m trying to figure out what to do today. Some friends of a friend have a rooftop in the LES that promises to be a decent spot for firework watching, but I’m honestly not sure I’m up for the shenanigans that will likely ensue. While part of me wants to go out, another part [...]

Where to start?

Finally had a chance to settle in a bit after last week’s trip to New York, but feeling a bit run down today. Maybe I’ll knock off early. Finally made it to see the new Matrix movie on Tuesday with about 12 friends, and ended up drinking, eating, and drinking some more before calling it [...]
