Here Comes Tamarind Tribeca
The plywood has come off of what used to be the Socrates diner space at Hudson and Franklin, across from Nobu, and while the windows are still papered up, I did catch a glimpse of the inside when a worker opened a door—and it looks like it’s going to be very pretty inside. I called […]
Inside Happy Science
In June, I wrote a bit about Happy Science, intrigued enough by the Franklin Street storefront to poke around the group's website. A couple of months ago, Happy Science's PR rep invited me to act like a real journalist and take a meeting with Happy Science USA CEO Yuki Oikawa.
Upcoming at Poets House
Poets House has released its winter/spring 2010 schedule, and while I like poetry—seriously, I even subscribe to Poetry magazine!—I don’t know enough about it (which is to say I have a hard time remembering poets’ names) to feel comfortable singling any event out.

Perk Up Your Monday
If you’ve been wishing for warmer weather, you got it—at least for a few hours, and accompanied by howling wind and thrashing rain. Perk up your Monday by buying a coffee at Wichcraft: The chain will donate 100 percent of today’s coffee proceeds to the American Red Cross relief effort in Haiti. (Alas, there’s no […]
