We had some wine drinking friends in town, but the only day we had that we could go out and enjoy a nice meal with some good wines was last night. Why? Passover. Or as I like to call it, The almost carb-less holiday that seems to drag on forever. […]

Along the harbor in Key West lie several eateries and bars. For whatever reason, I have never eaten at the Schooner Wharf. Last weekend, I was inspired to do just that. After a morning of tennis, we hopped on our bikes and headed to harbor. Schooner Wharf is ubiquitously Key […]
Tonight begins Passover, the annual celebration of the Jewish people’s exodus from Egypt. We have two seders, or as I like to call them, “The big meal”. Family and friends gather (fortunately not at my house) and eat charoset (it reminds of the mortar used in brick-building, but is presumably […]
There are places I walk by all the time and never go to. Why? I have no idea. There is something that just doesn’t inspire me. Square One is one of those places. There is no good reason for it, I just had never been there before last weekend. But, […]

I’m pretty cheap about a lot of things. Eating is not one of them. Buying groceries or dining out, I always want quality ingredients and a good preparation. Generally, that means spending. Earlier this week we went to Ocean Prime in Aventura, just north of Miami, and the overall feeling […]
I had an interesting weekend, which seemed to encompass the entire life cycle in two short days. (Cue Baby Simba being presented to the entire animal kingdom here.) We started in Key West on Saturday morning, after driving down a slew of IKEA cabinets from the mainland on Friday. Following […]
