March 9, 2015 // Vegetarian Food Festival
“Eat your vegetables” is a phrase children come to dread. Veggies are the unloved outcasts on many dinner plates across the country. Broccoli spears flop like sad trees after a deforestation. Canned peas inspire a sorrow few wish to endure. A little pile of salad sits like the devil’s own compost heap in Dante’s Inferno.…

No matter what time of year it is, a sunny, Mediterranean holiday sounds like a little piece of paradise. Imagine whispering palm fronds, the gold of beaches and warm wood, and the blue of the sea. The imaginary food tastes like a fisherman pulled it from the sea just hours ago, and the vegetables are…

It’s time once again for Strange Facts from Seastreak! You probably know the phrase “stick to your ribs” refers to food that keeps you feeling full for a long time after you’ve eaten it, but do you know how long that phrase has been around? Turns out, that particular idiom has its roots in medieval…
March 4, 2015 // Zoe’s Vintage Kitchen
Restaurants these days have become destinations in their own right. The buzz surrounding them only half has to do with the food you can order, or the skill of the chef. Audacious digs and art commissioned from well-known or controversial artists, or gimmicks the restaurant thinks up to bring in customers make up for the…
March 3, 2015 // New York International Children’s Film Festival
Parents, doting aunts and uncles, and movie-going kids have had some good choices for trips to the theater lately. Sure, it’s been a year and a quarter since “Frozen” hit the screens (yes, you’ve been hearing that song for fifteen months now), but since then, “Big Hero 6”, “The Lego Movie”, and “How to Train…
March 2, 2015 // Happy Ending
In some of the best stories, our hero or heroine evolves as they tale goes on. They learn, they grow, they become a different person than the one we knew when we started out. That journey makes the happy ending at the end of the story worthwhile. So it’s no surprise that a restaurant called…

Winter has decided to overstay its welcome. It lingers, like family who keep prolonging a sudden stay to spend “just a couple more days” camped out in your guest room. Icy, freezing weather is worse than guests who just won’t go (your mileage may vary), but easier to escape for a little while. A hot…
February 26, 2015 // The Audience
Royalty holds a curious appeal for plenty of people around the globe, but perhaps especially Americans. We elect a person to head our government (which is often like nominating someone to stand in front of a dart board), but they don’t get a crown with the position. We tell fairy tales about paupers discovering they’re…
February 25, 2015 // Christine’s Italian Restaurant
One of the highest compliments often paid to restaurants is, “The food tasted just like homemade.” That’s a bit ironic, if you think about it. You’ve gone out to eat, and yet, you’re commending your dinner for tasting like what you could have gotten from your kitchen. But “homemade” means more than a lack of…

Sushi brings the world together and unites it in the love of fancy fish. All right, that might be an exaggeration (just maybe), but sushi does have a tremendous international appeal. Restaurants that serve excellent sushi enjoy undeniable celebrity attention, and with some big-name restaurants prominent in the culinary spotlight. Until recently, New Yorkers have…
