Magnolia Bakery is open in Phoenix Hill — maybe. Or tomorrow, and if not, then next Tuesday

I just did a round of Google and social media searching to determine whether the much discussed local franchise of NYC’s Magnolia Bakery is, as yet, open for business. The choices, as gleaned from five widely ranging minutes of diminishing returns, are: not open at all, already open, will be opening Tuesday the 18th, won’t […]

Edibles & Potables: The Portuguese oasis of Madeira (2018 & 2022)

 I head to a traditional eating house in the northern hills (of Funchal) called Casa de Pasto Justiniano. Here, espetada is cooked and served the old-fashioned way. First, the meat is grilled on bay laurel skewers in a hearth in the corner of the room. Then the skewer is brought to the table and hung […]

Beer tends to be my libation of choice, and the act of “drinking” is understood; after all, we’re not here to gaze lovingly at unopened containers as we contemplate the potential ramifications of Instagram trendsetting, but rather to enjoy their contents. Consequently, to me it’s all about daytime beers, […]
