Quick, fun and tasty visit to excellent Soho bar for a nice pre-dinner cocktail. Thanks to Mo for a joyful visit!

Carlo Petrini was a very important person in my life. I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with him several times, first at The Slow Food Congress in Napoli in 2003, while dining in 2011 and again a few years later at a event at Eataly in NYC.

His movement moved me enough to start a Slow Food convivium in Saratoga Springs in 2008, and to change how I lived my life. He started Slow Food as a reaction to a McDonald’s right by The Spanish Steps in Rome, Italy, recognizing how much humanity we were losing thanks to the fast food lifestyle that McD’s represented. He was prescient. He did so much more with that, his organization ultimately championing food that was “good, clean and fair,” traditional foods of quality and, most of all, human connection.

RIP Maestro.

The month of May is a big one for my wife and I. We spent a wonderful weekend in NYC celebrating with our very close friends and culminating with a marvelous dinner at the fun and delicious

Le Veau D’Or is one of those rare restaurants that blends excellent classic French cooking with a vintage NYC restaurant environment, good service and a celebratory atmosphere that was just what we were hoping for!

A wonderful weekend in NYC highlighted by a special visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see the spectacular once-in-a-lifetime Raphael exhibition - Raphael - Sublime Poetry - featuring stunning works put together from over 70 different lenders from around the world.

The exhibition was special enough on its own, but having a long-time friend, who happens to be the Head Exhibition Architect at the Met, the person who designed how the exhibition is shown, give us a personal tour, made it one of the most, if not the most extraordinary museum experiences of my life.

Do NOT miss it! It is only there until June 28, 2026.
