Our child’s daycare celebrated Rosh Hashanah this year with a two-day closure so we did the only sensible thing: we shipped our 18-month-old to New Jersey for an overnight and made dinner reservations.
The big, puffy fried dough had long been a staple of Provincetown’s Portuguese Bakery, but with the pandemic in 2020 and new owners taking control of the shop in 2021, several years had passed since I had the delicious treat. That all changed over Memorial Day weekend this year.
The farmers market in McGolrick Park had a new vendor: Kimchi Kooks. The shop offered more than the usual cabbage kimchi, so I obviously had to sample some.
A few years back I was eating dinner with my wife at Trattoria Spaghetto, a red sauce joint in the West Village of Manhattan. The restaurant had been around since the 1980s.
