| | | | | | I went to Takashimaya last Thursday. Takashimaya is Japanese high-end department store located on 5th avenue/54th street. I have not been there for 1 year, so I decided to check it out. After cruising around inside, I went to downstairs to eat. Yes, there is a restaurant offering great tea selectio... Read More | | | | | | I want to apologize for not writing in a looong time. I’ve been stressed with work at the office I’m working at and my Internet connection was down for the past two and a half days. Both are long stories that I would like to spare you from reading. Okee…moving on. Last Friday, I went to Takashimaya,... Read More | | | | | | So it was tonight that my favorite Fifth Avenue department store, Takashimaya, had its annual post-work party for vendors. I am not a vendor. But, my friend is. Would I go? Well, sure. It was all champagne and platters of cut-up pieces of seasoned meat and fish on the sixth floor where the delicate... Read More | | | | | | Yesterday I had to go uptown to run an errand. I had a credit at Takashimaya that was only going to be good for another few days. I jumped on the E and went up there.

What I'm most addicted to this week: At chef Josh DeChellis's new BarFry: oyster tempura. How many is too ma...

I doubt any of my readers watch her show - especially since all of us have jobs and it airs at 1 pm - but anyway, her guest yesterday was Mario Batali. What an asshole! He used all these Italian words and they exchanged a f... Read More | | | | | | Lately I've been on a mission to pack as light as humanly possible. In my dreams, I'm the Suave Traveler, a superhero who zips around airports nimbly and stylishly, never stopping to fumble through a cluttered bag, and always having exactly what I need (and only what I need) on hand. I have a long w... Read More | | | | | | Eating in a restaurant that doubles as a retail shop carries with it certain risks: that the food may act purely as a loss-leader, introduced in an effort to keep you shopping longer; that the food may be unspeakably awful (I’m looking at you, Cafe Beyond); or both.
