I’m still catching up from the flu, so am just now getting around to this rundown of some October events. (Sadly, there were cancelations so there just weren’t quite enough entries to hold a meaningful contest.) And a special notice – how’s your apple pie? If you bake a good one, consider entering the October 10 … Continue reading

Beer! Gluten-free at Salt Creek Grille & Aug 4 beer night at the A&B
I feel bad that I never write about beer. But the fact is, I can’t drink more than a sip or two myself, which makes it hard to cover. It’s not that I don’t like it, although I didn’t learn to until I moved to Colorado, home of Coors (which today I would find insipid), and land of … Continue reading
Best Bites: Rocky Hill Inn, Ricky’s Thai, La Costeñita, Main Street, Witherspoon Grill, Antimo’s & home
Time has flown by and I’ve been dining all over the place, in addition to cooking at home (sometimes for upcoming print articles in the Packet). Here’s a photo gallery of some of the dishes I’ve enjoyed. My review of Ricky’s Thai will appear soon, and the duck noodles below were my sleeper hit. I … Continue reading
Hearts on Fire (but first a warm-hearted fundraiser at Mrs. G’s, and more)
Valentine’s Day is coming up, and I’m already getting information from chefs about their special menus – but first, a word about Nassau Street Seafood’s January 24 pre-Oyster Bowl fundraiser for Komen for the Cure at Mrs. G’s, and a couple of Slow Food winter markets: Join executive chefs from Blue Point Grill and Nassau Street Seafood … Continue reading

PAR-TAY!
So many things beckon to us during the holidays season, how will you choose? Rat’s has special holiday season happy hours – Now I ask you, where else can you find that Canadian speciality, poutine, around here?! (And of course they’re doing New Year’s Eve.) A Feast of the Seven Fishes dinner is being served at … Continue reading
Holidays & Gifts
Holidays are creeping up on us with their tiny cat feet, so here are some of the goings on that have arrived in my Inbox lately: I only wish I could celebrate my birthday (39 again!) at the American Museium of Natural History’s Wild Mushroom Harvest: Foraging Local Woods and Markets event on Tuesday (11/9), … Continue reading
Wine Mania (and some beer, too)
I am getting more and more emails each week about wine dinners and tasting events in the Princeton area. These events are all the rage, and many of them seem to sell out quickly, even in this economy. I think it’s the “value added” aspect of them. Not only are you enjoying several courses of well-prepared … Continue reading
Rocky Hill High
First it was Restaurant One53. Now we also have the Rocky Hill Inn Eatery & Tavern. It’s great to have two nice restaurants in Rocky Hill, close to me. I’ve had many good meals at One53 (they also own the popular Lucy’s Ravioli Kitchen), which is currently offering a $25 prix fixe menu Monday-Wednesday, with a … Continue reading
