Like fellow indie Little Miss Sunshine, Win Win is a wonderfully scripted and acted film about surrogate relationships (with an original song by The National to boot).

I heart blizzards. Snowstorms, incidentally, are a great time to go traipsing through Central Park.

Live-action short God of Love was a clear favorite at the Oscar Shorts screening and went on to take the Oscar.

Bay Ridge isn’t known as a culinary destination but the french toast at Saint Germain Bistro was worth the trek. No doubt there are other food gems in the neighborhood waiting to be discovered.
