Fouquet Brasserie

It was another cold Monday evening when I met my friend in the TriBeCa area (not a soul around) at the relatively new French brasserie Fouquet. The restaurant is located on the ground floor of the new TriBeCa hotel, Hotel Barriere Fouquet, and marks the 11th Fouquet location. The hotel is also home to the speak-easy-inspired Bar Titsou and a second casual dining space, Par Ici Cafe.

Exception to the Rule

Who is ultimately in charge here? Where is the person that is supposed to be supervising this crew? Why is the last voice we hear over the intercom that of a woman? Each audience member can answer these, and other questions that Exception to The Rule asks.

Riverside Opera Ensemble

The broad selection of musical works provided marvelous musical moments; artistry, vocal command, drama, and sheer choric beauty abounded.

Birthday Candles

It is not a happy birthday. No full life savored and enjoyed or marked with celebration. Birthday Candles is traumatic and not for those that wear their emotions on their sleeve or recently have participated in life.

American Utopia

Everything is gray in David Byrne’s `Utopia. The suits, the instruments played Byrne’s hair, and even the gray subject matter he ponders – the brain. Byrne’s cynicism is transparent. From Utopia upside down to discussing his motivation for including songs.

Our waiter explained a series of mouth-watering specials as we perused the menu at Pietro’s Ristorante. Fresh bread and spring water was quickly delivered.
