Today, September 6, might be considered the unofficial end of Summer 2016 -- or beginning of Fall depending on if you think of Labor day as the end of Summer. Phew! I don't know about you, but for me and my husband, Bobby, it has been a whirlwind of a season. I thought I might reflect on things a little, partly because I am tired from the weekend, but mostly because I had such a great summer, I kind of want to re-live it. The Beginning of Summer in May -- It started out quiet enough with … [Read more...]
Schnipper’s: A New York Restaurant That is My Kind of Place
When my husband, Bobby and I traveled to New York City in July, we had the opportunity to try plenty of places to eat. Some we had planned to go--like Serendipity 3. We also had an idea of what we wanted to get in New York - - like New York style pizza, "real" bagels and something from a street vendor. (FYI regarding the street vendors, they cost too much - - or at least they do outside of the American Museum of Natural History.) But most of the time, we were just going with the flow. … [Read more...]
The Melting Pot, Quite the Dining Experience
One of my friends from work, Jessica Robinson, has talked about how good The Melting Pot is for as long as we have worked in the same department. Her descriptions made me curious to give it a try. However, it wasn't until I saw a Groupon offer for the Melting Pot, did I finally act on the curiosity. The next hurdle was to make time to go. It is in Lyndhurst, Ohio (at least where this Groupon was good for) and that is over 1 hour from where we live. Then my husband, Bobby's, schedule is so … [Read more...]
Happy B-Lated B-day, Burger!
It wasn't until late Thursday night, July 28, that I found out I missed the birthday of the hamburger. That is the date when Louis Lassen in 1900 served the first hamburger sandwich. (It was out of Louis' Lunch in New Haven, Connecticut.) Turns out that we were there on July 27, 2011--but I didn't know it was the birthday then, either. I felt kind of like I did when I realized I had missed National Ice Cream day (July 17). Not exactly sad, but a little disappointed in myself that I hadn't … [Read more...]
Experiencing Serendipity in New York City
In the movie Serendipity, Sara, the female lead said she liked the word Serendipity because it means "fortunate accident." Dictionary.com gives one definition for the word as an "aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident." I think I like the dictionary's definition better, because I almost think that is how things happen for Bobby, my husband, and me. We often find things by accident. Well I guess I shouldn't say that our trip to New York City was an accident, because we … [Read more...]
