Roman’s
[From the 4/11/24 newsletter] Let me tell you about our 18th anniversary dinner at Roman’s. Yes, it’s true, on April 8th, 2006, Craig and I went on first date to Lucien in the East Village. Now it’s 18 years later and we’re still going strong. We decided to celebrate that fact with lots of meat…

Popina
[From the 4/29/24 newsletter] On Friday, we joined Jenny Rosenstrach, who you all know and love from Dinner: A Love Story, her husband Andy, and Cup of Jo’s Jo for dinner at Popina. That’s Jenny and Jo at the table. Dinner at Popina was so good. We all shared olives and bread and strachiatella. I…

Misipasta
[From the May 2, 2024 newsletter] Before [Craig’s family] got here, I went with my friend Daniel to MisiPasta in Williamsburg. We ate many delicious things that night, but the highlights for me were: this cocktail which was like a Manhattan made with rhubarb liqueur. (Love rhubarb in the spring.) And the sausage sandwich —…

Sailor
[From the 6/23/24 newsletter] Last night we went back to Sailor with our pals Jenny and Andy who you know and love from Dinner: A Love Story. The food at Sailor is so out-of-this-world, I have a new distraction when I’m writing during the day. When I need a break, I just go on to…

Strange Delight
[From the 8/29/24 newsletter] Last night we had what many couples call “date night.” For me, every night is date night because I like to make every meal an occasion, but for Craig he needs the title to justify going out to a nice/new restaurant. Hence our date night field trip to Strange Delight in…

Theodora
[From the 7/26/24 newsletter] On Tuesday night, I went with my friend Daniel to dinner at Theodora — the hot new restaurant from the owners of Miss Ada in Fort Greene. The dish above was a gift from the kitchen because my friend Toby’s brother Misha works there — though Misha wasn’t there that night.…

Saint Julivert
[From the 9/6/24 newsletter] Last night Craig and I finally took advantage of the “Violet Hour” deal at Saint Julivert in our neighborhood. We walk Winston past it all the time and always mean to take advantage of their incredible offer of three half courses for $45 between the hours of 5 and 6. This…

Café Kestrel
On Wednesday night, we met up with our friend Ryan O’Connell at Café Kestrel in Red Hook. Café Kestrel is such a cozy spot. It was our second time there: I snagged this reservation because they just started Wednesday night service. It was the perfect place to go to commiserate after the trauma of Tuesday…

Café Mado
[From the 1/16/25 newsletter] Last night I had dinner at the bar of Café Mado in Brooklyn which Melissa Clark raved about in The New York Times. The Caesar salad was terrific, as was the Negroni I had with it: It was presented like flowers coming out of a vase, with each piece of romaine…

Pitt’s BK
[From the 1/30/25 Amateur Gourmet Newsletter] Last night we hit up a brand new restaurant in Red Hook from the brilliant mind behind Agi’s Counter, Jeremy Salamon, called Pitt’s BK with our friends Jeremy and Jason. We immediately soaked in the environment which reminded us of a midwestern chain restaurant like Perkins, but like a…
