Bobbi Brown Is Ready to Slay the Wellness Industry. Nicely.

When you’ve done the makeup of basically everyone in the world except the queen of England, what else could be next?

She has done that.
Early in her career she moved the industry from the porcelain doll look to the no makeup look.
Popular pressure shifted back to artifice but seems moving toward simple appearance.

From his father’s pushcart, he and his family built Balducci’s into an emporium that dominated the specialty-foods business in New York for decades.

I have been aware of Balducci's but have not been there.

At El Quijote, One Last Helping of Charm, Kitsch and Memories

As word spread that the 88-year-old restaurant in the storied Chelsea Hotel in Manhattan was closing for renovations, crowds gathered for a final meal.

Redecorating El Quijoti is probably a mistake.
The hotel went for condos twenty years ago.
If the kitchen is well designed the cooks like the tools they know.

We may try it after the renovation.

A Kitchen Duo for Decades, Now With Their Own Place

A sneak peek at Frenchette in TriBeCa, where Riad Nasr and Lee Hanson will give their Gallic training a fresh spin.

As convenient.

They know and trust their suppliers.

New York City’s Best Buyer’s and Seller’s Neighborhoods

Buyers have it easier if they are shopping the high end. Sellers have a smoother path if their listings are more affordable.

Kew Gardens earns its low price.  It is isolated by the highways.
Medium sized houses on small planted lots.

Patient Voices: Restless Leg Syndrome

Creepy-crawly, itchy, tingly, aching legs — while different people may describe restless leg syndrome differently the results are the same: sleepless nights and restless days. What is it like to be diagnosed with R.L.S.? Six men and women speak about their experiences. (Join the discussion here.)

I don't  believe I have the problem.
The symptoms are real.
The causal research needs to be done.

Do You Know Anyone in These Civil Rights Photos?

As we sorted through photographs for our coverage of the 50th anniversary of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination, we encountered many people who had gone unnamed. We want to know: Who were they?

I knew of the civil rights movement.
I did not personally know the people.
I grew with racism.  I learned it was wrong.  I have tried to shed it with varying success.

Ribbons of Hope and Prayer Fill a Manhattan Sidewalk

Thousands have tied purple ribbons ‘round the short birch trees and handrails outside of a church, in a public display of love and loss.

A fine idea. 
I hope to hear from you when you can speak.

Sooner is better.   As soon as you can is best.

A Reminder of a Simpler Life, The Ripton Country Store

A Vermont country store that’s the heart and soul of the community goes up for sale.

I dream of leaving the city.  I can't do that yet.
