On Wednesday night, my girlfriend and I went to Barcade for a couple of microbrews and some rousing rounds of Q-bert. I was in the middle of a game of Tetris, and she asked me if I wanted anything. I knew that I could never go wrong at Barcade, so ...

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. I have no extended family joining my immediate family for dinner in Rhode Island, so it'll be just five of us - eating enough food for about fifteen.
The key to Thanksgiving is training. You have to prepare your stomach for the onslaught it will ...

At 11pm on Saturday night, I found myself in the most unexpected of places: South Providence. It's an area of Rhode Island where most people wouldn't be caught dead... or, rather, they might literally catch themselves dead. Me being in South Providence is the equivalent of a kid from Westchester ...

While in San Francisco, and in the midst of travel delays, I went to get a drink with a buddy of mine. Monday was a beautiful day, so we decided to meet up in the slightly-sketchy Mission District for a drink at a bar with an awesome outdoor seating area ...

This week is my favorite week of the year. It's a rare excuse to get drunk during working hours. It's also a rare excuse to pretend you know something about wine, and using that as an excuse to drink more than your fair share of wine. It is National Wine ...

I mentioned last week that I'd be hosting trivia tonight at Professor Thom's. Well, Trivia will be played tomorrow, Tuesday night, at 9pm instead. There's a very special Monday Night Football tonight. I think this is the one where Tony Kornheiser learns a very important lesson after a life-changing meeting ...

I've never been a huge fan of the L Magazine, mainly because it's named after the subway line that gives me daily panic attacks. But the information is fairly useful, and sometimes entertaining. In fact, I'm a huge fan of Fare is Fare and Tips for Tips, two of the ...

Before a bar crawl on Saturday that spanned ten bars over ten hours, I stopped by Chipotle. It was the equivalent of a marathon runner preparing for the race with a big bowl of pasta. It wasn't long ago that I used to go to Chipotle for lunch at least ...

As a man, it's hard to convince yourself to order a mimosa with your Sunday brunch. That's why I am a huge fan of the Manmosa, which Heather introduced to me at Boss Tweeds on Sunday. The recipe is simple:
