Shachar, Tacos, and Babies

[January 31]

My gorgeous friend Shachar just had her twin babies last weekend and I’m totally in love.  They are edible and she’s already a superb mama.  It was a real struggle for her (as it is for so many of us) and I wanted to take a second to honor her and her journey. Just a [...]

Darbster, West Palm Beach

[April 14]

Last night we went out to dinner here in Florida with our friends Casey and Michael to a vegan restaurant called Darbster. We always have the best time with them and literally talk all the way through the parking lot until we get into our separate cars are are forced to stop! Last time we [...]

Babycakes in My Brooklyn Bed AND at Disney!

[March 14]

I’ve mentioned Babycakes Bakery in passing here and here.  Babycakes is a refined sugar-free, gluten-free, wheat-free, soy-free, casein-free, egg-free, vegan, kosher bakery.  And it’s damn good! Every time we’re out to dinner in downtown Manhattan I make Richie do a drive by on the way home for some post dinner goodies (thank goodness they’re open [...]

Provisions Sag Harbor

[March 1]

This past Saturday we decided to head out east for some fresh air and a relaxing couple days.  We left in the afternoon with Richie’s brother, Bobbie, and his girlfriend Andi (who I love love). The car ride out wasn’t too bad and we made it out just before dark.  We ran out quickly to [...]

MLK Jr. Day and Cafe Blossom

[January 18]

Hi everyone! Sorry about the no post yesterday.  We had a crazy day of running around, having fun, shopping, visiting with my sister and mom, vegan lunch on the Upper West Side, and we finished up our day with a photo shoot for the New York Times (I’ll tell you all about it when the [...]

Nia Froome: Vegan Baker and High School Student Extraordinaire

[October 19]

Last week my Aunt Bonnie gave me an article she clipped from Newsday that I thought was worth sharing. A couple weeks ago, Nia Froome, a senior at Poly Prep (a school here in Park Slope), won a $10,000 prize and a trip to the White House through an OppenheimerFunds/NFTE/National Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge. A couple [...]

Champs Vegan Bakery: A Williamsburg Wonderland

[September 17]

Last week, with the holiday pending, and an offer in to my mother-in-law to bring some soup and stuff for the family dinner, I remembered that I no longer had a local source for vegan challah (a staple at the Jewish family dinner table). Realizing that is was less than a week away from the [...]

Babette’s East Hampton

[September 7]

Yesterday morning we got up early and Richie decided he wanted to go out to eat.  We were at my in-laws’ house out in long island, so didn’t have our neighborhood spots to rely on.  We usually eat in while we’re out there, but once in a while, for a special breakfast, we head over [...]

Williamsburg Eats: Mesa Coyoacan

[August 30]

We had the best weekend staying around Brooklyn.  This summer has been so hot in New York that we’ve been running out of the city every weekend to avoid the heat and find some swimming opportunities.  We decided to hang around this weekend and enjoy some time at home, visit friends, and take advantage of [...]

Sticky Fingers DC: Vegan Bakery Worth A Visit

[August 18]

As promised, here’s my dedicated post to DC’s own (and superfabulous) Sticky Fingers (vegan) Bakery: I’ll start by saying that the site does not do the bakery justice.  It’s a decent site, but a supercute bakery.  When my friend Casey introduced me to it, I immediately googled and scoured the site (of course).  I obviously [...]
