Pints


I'm just making something that requires a pint. Of course nothing is in pints over here so I always have to google it. This is a cute little visual way to help you remember what's what. Breaking it down:

2 Cups in a Pint
2 Pints in a Quart
4 Quarts in a Gallon

Low Cal Gazpacho

Only 50 calories "for a large bowl". Sounds good to me.

Another Restaurant


Not far from us, and sounds great from the one review I've read. Opens next week. Cute logo.

I think this looks great. Just postcards (or photos) around the door. Not great for our space - no doors, but fun idea. Thumbs up or down?

Summer Guide


For us New Yorkers, here is a good guide from Vanity Fair magazine for places to eat and drink - many with outdoor areas- LOVELY! Gets as hot as Brisbane here. Handy reference:

Double-decker Bus Tour


After 12 years here, I've finally done a bus tour of Manhattan with Meg. Interesting, but boy do the guides make a difference. We have had 4 guides and only 1 has been decent. Without a doubt, I could do a better job than these people. Horrible. Will post some photos from our tour soon.
We are doing the Brooklyn tour tomorrow.

WHat a freak


Over 6000 piercings. Gross debbie, right?

I have been so bad on the blog front, but promise things will pick up asap.
