Jun 29th, 2011 at 3:00PM: There's a month for everything in America, it seems, even if it's cancer. But as a nation, we can really get behind hot dogs. We love hot dogs; we're obsessed with them.

Mar 21st, 2011 at 4:30PM: Buh-bye, limp hot dogs in soggy buns. Baseball season starts April 1st, and Seattle's Safeco Field--go, Mariners--is celebrating its first home game on the 8th with some serious food.
Centerplate, the leading hospitality provider to North America's premier sports stadiums, has developed a partnership with award-winning Seattle chef Ethan Stowell, as well as chefs Roberto Santibañez, owner ...Greyhound travel: The imperfect lover. Reality, the Twilight Zone and being jilted
Dec 22nd, 2009 at 2:00PM: I'm fond of Greyhound bus travel. I like the idea of humanity rolling along on a highway. I like bus people. As one bus ticket seller once told me at the station in Columbus, Ohio as she surveyed the milling about passengers in the waiting area, "If you're hard up and you need money, anyone of these people will help you out."
Bus people have a certain air of resignation and quiet about them. ...New Haven 'Restaurant Week' is here and now
Nov 13th, 2008 at 12:30AM: Now that my head is a bit less fuzzy (from drinking six glasses of Joe Bastianich's Italian wine, topped off by one--and that's one too many--glass of grappa), I want to recap the wonderful wine dinner I had last night at Zinc.

There's watching the leaves fall on the green, wolfing down a slice at Pepe's, and now, drinking coffee? Yes, it just might be worth a daytrip to stop in New Haven for some joe, especially if you find yourself riding Amtrak between Boston and New York and you're feeling sleepy. I recently visited a West-Coast-hip all-organic / all-fair-trade coffee shop, one of a handful in the Northeast, and ...Connecticut Journal: Inside Yale's secret societies
May 29th, 2008 at 9:00AM: New Haven, Connecticut has a bad rep. To most, it's at best a town you travel through on your way between Boston and New York. But as I've written recently in my travel series on New Haven, the town has experienced a tremendous renaissance in the last decade. And there's one phenomenon here that you won't find anywhere else.

There's a dirty little secret tucked into a corner of my ...Guide to New Haven: An Introduction
Mar 10th, 2008 at 10:00AM: Tucked away on the northern shores of Long Island Sound, halfway between New York and Boston, the lively city of New Haven is often overlooked by its seemingly more glamorous (and bigger) neighbours. Granted, it's best known for world-renown Yale University, along with the gothic architecture and storied history that entails. But New Haven more than stands out on its own right, and in the last ...Will Zipcar be your ride of choice?
Jan 29th, 2008 at 11:00AM: Though Zipcar--the largest car-sharing service in the US--boasts 180,000 members and 5,000 cars in more than 50 cities across the states, Europe, and Canada, chances are you still haven't heard of them. In late October of last year, Zipcar merged with the other dominant car-share company, Flexcar, which makes the new company the de facto service for people who need a car for the occasional errand. ...
