One of my roommates from college celebrated her 40th birthday yesterday. She was less than pleased about this particular milestone and was convinced that her birthday was going to suck and none of her friends would be around to celebrate. She was wrong. Continue reading More Birthdays, More Surprises

 The Pez Cake April has now become officially known (at least to me) as “ 50th birthday party month“. May is shaping up to be “ 40th birthday month” but you’ll hear more about that as it unfolds. A week ago I went to a birthday lunch for a very good friend. About 20 people gathered at Lola’s on Harrison for an afternoon of good food, friends and a Pez cake. Continue reading Surprise!

 FKGuy enjoying a relaxing brunch We had tried 2¢ moments after they opened around New Years, when they were cash only and still getting a handle on things. I keep meaning to go back for dinner now that they accept credit cards (I don’t usually carry cash) but just haven’t gotten there yet. Instead we went for brunch yesterday. Oh my. Continue reading 2¢, Key West: Brunch

 More tortellini on one plate than is socially acceptable (yet still quite tasty). I have walked by New York Pasta Garden a bunch of times. It is next to Origami in Duval Square, between Simonton and Duval Streets, yet somehow I had not eaten there. They are on the Woman’s Club Card, so since we had a buy-one-get-one-free, I thought we’d give it a shot. Plus, sometimes you just need a big plate of pasta. (OK, I need that all the time!) Continue reading New York Pasta Garden, Key West

 Cupcakes are always a good time... and you can serve the same ones on day 2. I always like having friends over for dinner. The relaxed atmosphere, good food and wine and the ability to linger are all appealing to me. Last week brought two such occasions, back to back. It required some creative menu planning, but ended up being a lot of fun. Continue reading A Few Good Meals

 Brian Loring, trying unsuccessfully to hide behind a bottle of his own wine. What is better than a glass of pinot noir in the middle of the afternoon? Sixteen of them. Every year, nearing the end of February, the South Beach Food and Wine Festival rolls around, and I avoid it like the plague. Why? Really? You have to ask? OK, then I will share: it is overcrowded, overpriced and full of annoying people (maybe it is just too many people, that is a real possibility.)

 I get a lot of mail from readers of my blog, and I love it. Everything from questions like “Where is the closest crossfit gym?” (Miami) to “I’m planning a wedding and need a caterer” (Call Kristin at Pear Affairs. She is the best wedding planner around.) But when I got the following question “Have you ever created a list of wine friendly restaurants in Key West?” I knew the sender was my kind of person. Continue reading New Friends

- The large, on the wall version of the tiny menu
Kojin Noodle Bar occupies a tiny space on Southard Street. Formerly, for about five minutes, it was a wing place, which I never had the chance to try. Oh well. Fortunately something good has moved in, and it is the neighbor everyone wants: low key and good food. I was excited to hear that a noodle bar had opened, virtually at the same time as 2¢. Could it be? Two new, good places at once? Indeed. Continue reading Kojin Noodle Bar, Key West

 What could be better than a mile long wine tasting? A mile long wine tasting followed by an over the top wine dinner. More on the dinner on Monday. Today I will focus on Duval Uncorked, one of the main events during the annual Key West Food and Wine Festival. Continue reading Key West Food and Wine Festival: Duval Uncorked
