May 13, 2015 // Beaubourg in Le District
A quick glance through some of our favorite things says we like French stuff pretty well. What do you order with a good, American hamburger? French fries. (Which don’t actually have a darned thing to do with France.) Looking for a hearty breakfast? Have some French toast! (Again, not even close to French.) All right,…
May 11, 2015 // 2015 Texas Chili Cook-off
Throughout the world, you’ll find traditions by which you can prove your strength and fortitude. Caber tossing, for example. You have to possess power and coordination to fling long, heavy poles without damaging yourself (or someone else). Everyone knows, however, that true strength is shown through intestinal fortitude. Anyone can pick up a big stick,…
May 7, 2015 // El Original
We’re all pretty attached to our favorite regional foods. Let’s take cheesesteaks for an example. For anyone who hasn’t visited Philadelphia, you slap some meat and cheese on a roll, and you have a cheesesteak. Tell that to a true Philadelphian, however, and you’ll see a first-hand demonstration of “wailing and gnashing of teeth”. Same…
May 6, 2015 // The Merry Widow, Uncategorized
A thousand songs, stories, and television programs base themselves in the intricacies of the negotiations surrounding relationships. Which is to say, any time you put two human beings together and throw in high emotions, life might get complicated. This was especially true in the past, when inheritances and previous marriages got in the way. See…
May 5, 2015 // Mother’s Day 2015
Mothers see us through the best and worst times of our lives. They put bandages on our skinned knees, they listened to us rant about the person who’d broken our hearts, and they gave us advice when we asked for it (and when we didn’t, but needed it anyway). Even if it wasn’t your biological…
May 4, 2015 // NYC Spring Wine Festival
If you want to impress your friends and coworkers, there’s a few guaranteed ways to do it. Tell them you spent the weekend in your Swiss chalet. (This only works if you actually have a Swiss chalet. Showing pictures you got off the internet lacks cool factor.) Explain how you went for a sail on…

Broadway musicals usually come from a few sources. You might see a movie end up adapted for the stage, which seems like a natural step. Spoken-word plays might accumulate a few songs and evolve, like melodic butterflies, into musicals. What you don’t usually expect to see is a graphic novel turned into a musical. (Take…
April 29, 2015 // Grounded
Broadway, and off-Broadway, is often full of happy songs with catchy tunes that stick in your head and laughter at the antics of characters on the stage. Other nights, it’s drama on the stage, and you’d best pack tissues. Sometimes, though, the stage is an incredible venue for exploring the important topics of our day.…
April 28, 2015 // Polish Film Festival
Hollywood has earned an indelible place in all our minds. Movies and even movie theaters have become symbols of Hollywood’s influence on our culture. Even in other countries, Hollywood is synonymous with films and the movie experience, with millions spent each year on watching American cinema. (And let’s not forget Bollywood, whose name borrows heavily…
April 24, 2015 // Sakura Matsuri Cherry Blossom Celebration
Cherry blossoms have a deep and layered meaning in Japan. The cherry blossom, or sakura, has a deep connection to life, either through powers of reproduction, or through the symbol of life, death, and rebirth. In this, it symbolizes the impermanence of things, and the transient nature of life. What isn’t complicated is their beauty.…
