NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Dinner at Bar Boulud with some old friends and our son and daughter, who took me there for Fathers Day. This is a silly made-up holiday designed to promote greeting card sales, but I have nonetheless promoted it to our children as the most important day of the year.

ROUTE 202 IN NEW MILFORD, CONNECTICUT – Farmstand.  This was late in the day; I slept poorly the night before so I lost the morning light.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Lovely, enveloping early winter light this morning.  Dashed out onto the street to catch it while it lasted.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – We attend a Piemontese white truffle dinner at the James Beard Foundation, hosted by Joe and Paul Bartolotta.  I’ve edited this post – on reflection I like the image below better than the one originally posted.

By the way I’ve made some changes to the site.  I’ve added three additional galleries under “Parties” and a gallery called Fireworks.  I’ve also added a star rating system.  This is an experiment – I’ll be working over the next few months to refine it.  Feel free to click on the stars at the top of each post to cast a vote on it.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Today is the run up for Thanksgiving – a major food shopping day.  We spend the morning at Fairway in Harlem (it’s at 125th Street and the Hudson River).  The weather cleared dramatically, providing an opportunity to photograph the underside of Riverside Drive from 125th Street.

PORTLAND, OREGON – Portland has a remarkable food culture.  There are elaborate “food carts” in various parts of town – generally in clusters.  They aren’t actually “carts”. They are really trailers, sometimes elaborate ones, rather than the hand carts that the name suggests.  Here’s a link to a site specializing in Portland food carts: Food Carts Our friend and guide to Portland, Ron Paul, claims that the best coffee in Portland, and thus North America, is at Spella Caffe. Here’s Andrea Spella. Sorry Andrea for the harsh back lighting.:
