Pizza transcends international boundaries. While it remains indubitably Italian in history and influence, it evolves to take on the characteristics of the place in which it is made. Consider, for example, the pizzas made in Sweden, which we can only call “unique”. New York pizza is a breed unto itself, an exemplar of the class.…

Many of us grew up going to the circus. We went to see elephants parading around the ring, lion tamers locked into cages with big cats, and we came home emotionally scarred from the clowns. We might have thrilled to the skills of the aerialists, but they often paled next to the other acts. Today,…
April 14, 2015 // FilmOneFest Benefit Dinner and Auction
Kids have terrible attention spans, especially the young ones. You can capture their focus for a minute or two, and then a squirrel runs by. Boom! They’re distracted and you’ve lost them. Let’s face it, though. We’ve all felt like that. We’ve had days when we couldn’t sit through a full-length feature film if we…
April 13, 2015 // Bad Film Fest 2015
There’s plenty of review websites dedicated to finding good movies. Theatergoers are always on the hunt for the next great film, whether it’s likely to win one of the big awards or just absorb them in a good story for a couple hours. But what about the appeal of really bad movies? Films that don’t…
April 10, 2015 // The Visit
There’s no evidence to corroborate the phrase “money makes the world go ‘round,” but we all know the saying is pretty apt. (Scientists say the Earth’s rotation started out with the conservation of angular momentum, then inertia allowed it to continue, but what do they know?) Money greases wheels and convinces people to do things…

Believe it or not, there’s times when a beer just won’t do. Don’t get us wrong. We love a good brew just as much as the next folks (though never while we’re driving, either cars or ferries). Variety is the spice of life, and it’s nice to change things up, especially when there’s a delicious…
April 8, 2015 // 17th Annual Tartan Day Parade
Kilts are not skirts. Tartan is not a sauce you put on fish. Both are proud, distinctive symbols of a person’s Scottish heritage. (Or just good fashion sense. What can we say? Kilts are cool, much like bowties and fezzes.) The sight of someone dressed in a kilt conjures up the sound of phantom bagpipes.…
April 7, 2015 // Lucia di Lammermoor, Uncategorized
Remember “Romeo and Juliet”? Two star-crossed lovers from enemy families, who are determined that their love shall conquer all? The pretty speeches, the swooning, the beautiful and gentle girl and the tender, adoring boy? Gaetano Donizetti’s “Lucia di Lammermoor” is what happens when “Romeo and Juliet” gets stabby. It’s got the forbidden love, and it’s…
April 6, 2015 // Food Book Fair
Talking about food and reading about food aren’t quite as good as eating it, but they can get close. Food doesn’t just meet our biological need for sustenance. It has an important place in our culture, as well as how we socialize and interact with each other. How many marriages have been proposed over a…
April 2, 2015 // Town and Surf Diner, Uncategorized
The American diner is an eternal institution. Buried in the Constitution is the declaration that all citizens of our great nation will have access to food that tastes like someone’s mother made it with love. This food shall be served in a charming space that reminds you of simpler, happier times. (Okay, so, this didn’t…
