My brother is heading back to school in a few days, so I took the train up to meet my family for a goodbye lunch.
Maybe one of these days we’ll get it together.
Location was Ruby’s in Rye. This is one of my favorite restaurants to go to when I’m home. You can always count on Ruby’s for a cozy atmosphere, and a good meal.
And sometimes, if you’re lucky, good company.
And just like that, summer is over. Remember summers when you were little? Ice cream cones for three months straight, jumping in the pool and laying on the pavement to dry out, cook-outs on the beach. And then finally, after what felt like years, you would be in the car with your Mom, driving to pick out your first day of school outfit. Now instead of endless ice cream, I get endless market share reports.
These days, my weekends have to count as a mini-summers. I’ll take what I can get.

Hi Alex,
I found your blog from that post of Tina’s where she asked people to comment with a little blurb about their own blog and where they’re from. Yours caught my eye because you’re a vegetarian and you live in NYC. I just finally became a vegetarian in June after reading Food Revolution by John Robbins, and have been looking for more veg blogs. (I also just finished reading the China Study). I do not live in NYC but like to read about people who do so I can live vicariously. I’ve visited twice and absolutely LOVE your city.
Your pictures are beautiful and your enthusiasm for vegetarianism is awesome! I’ll be back to read more!
Hi Danielle,
Welcome, and thank you for stopping by!
Apologies for my late response! I haven’t read Food Revolution, but I will definitely be adding it to my food book list. Thanks for the recommendation.

woop woop!
