Two days post-Seder and I am still in a bit of a brisket-and-meatball-induced food coma. We were at my parents house, along with family and friends, and the festive Passover meals, including the retelling of the exodus from Egypt, was fantastic. *Disclaimer: I made exactly none of the foods talked […]
I want to take a moment to wish you all a Happy Passover, which starts this evening, and a Happy Easter (or, if you celebrate neither, Happy Weekend!) On Monday, I will post a full recap of both Seders. We will be at my parents’ house, along with a slew […]
Last weekend our friends wanted to get together to eat some yummy food and drink good wine. How could I say no to that? We had friends in town, so we were a party of six at Azur. It was a sure bet that the food and wine would be […]
It is no secret that I love the new incarnation of Square One. Gone are the heinous shower curtain/makeshift doors in the bathroom, and with the renovation of the space came a new menu, incorporating favorites from both The Cafe and Banana Cafe, the other restaurants owned by the Square […]

There are a bazillion bars in Key West already, so what is so special about a new one? Well, LIQUID, the pool bar at the Ocean Key Resort has just been relaunched, and it is very, very cool. The catch? you have to be staying at the resort to enjoy […]
We have been to Cafe Marquesa many times over the past fifteen years. The food is always stellar, and the service is usually professional, if not at all friendly. The thing is, when we are trying to decide where to go for dinner, on any given night, I always forget […]
