sam sifton you are a treat!

sifton's articles about cooking are v. readable but I haven't tried any recipes yet

on one hand I think this guy TRIES TOO HARD sometimes but OTOH it's good to read somebody w/strong voice throwing down in the NYT.

this is what everyone said about bruni though, right? and now hes like family

The dining room is pretty enough, dark and cool, with white marble tables and a vaguely Mediterranean feel enhanced by big sprays of flowers. It is crowded nightly, first with dinner parties that seem pulled from rejected “Sex and the City” scripts and then with a late, late, late show of models and people with incredible collections of music and sneakers and phone numbers, accompanied by the people who went to college with them who now work on Wall Street.

But the food is inconsequential.

that's that thing he does.

If you happen to be looking for somewhere to sit beside sleepy-eyed models not eating their oatmeal, or to talk over hamburgers and bourbon about how, if these wave reports are correct, you are definitely going to surf Montauk tomorrow, Peels is your restaurant. Just chain your Dutch bike to a streetlamp outside and stride on in for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

describes restaurant customers as if they were interior decoration/design elements

did you read his last one??? !!!!!!

kreative riting klass!

this fucking guy

a cheeseburger deluxe with well-done fries, some mayonnaise on the side and a Coke. To eat this meal while wearing a good suit, with a brimmed hat sitting on the seat beside you, while thinking vaguely about the Georg Friedrich Kersting paintings you saw at the Met’s “Open Window” exhibition just a few minutes before? It is to experience precisely what makes New York the greatest city in the world.

oy vey
