This Weekend: All I Want To Do Is Dance
Such a weird weekend: Bollywood dance lessons, the end-of-an-institution party, and a zombies meet-and-greet. Friday, March 28 Last Chance for LF’s Only Sale of the Season On a normal day, I’d steer clear of this store. Too expensive for me. But when it has a sale going on, I’m so there. Only a few more…

Judging a Cocktail Contest at Bar Lubitsch

Auntie Em's Market Dinner: Down Home in the City
I’ve been trying to do Auntie Em’s market dinner ever since I first heard about it but it always books up SO fast. They don’t really publicize the event, ‘cept on their Web site and to their loyal followers on their email list but it still sells out every time. Fortunately by some stroke of…
