Kosher Gospel? Say again. Yes, Kosher Gospel. There’s this dude named Joshua Nelson and he sings traditional Jewish liturgical music with gospel flair and style.
So, yeah, Kosher Gospel, I’m totally not making this up.
Anyway, he’s playing in town this Sunday night as part of the Adath Jeshurun Music Festival. If you dig [...]

From the Avalon website:
Diners can try their luck by tossing a coin. If their call lands up, the cost of the entree will be deducted from the total bill. Limited to one toss per patron on a given Tuesday.
Wow! Those odds are pretty good. Definitely worth a shot if you’re already looking for a good [...]

Hopefully Broken Sidewalk will forgive me for digging into their normal content area a bit but I couldn’t help myself. When I saw that construction was being done in the old Chinese restaurant location near the now defunct Club Grotto I had stroll down Bardstown to see what the building permit said. I was oh [...]

B and I were playing hooky yesterday afternoon and ended up down on Baxter Avenue where J. Gumbo’s used to be. I’d heard rumor of a pizza place opening up there but hadn’t really done any investigating until yesterday. As I was snooping, staring in the window trying to read the menu board (the menu [...]

The man you see in the photo above (thanks NY Times!) is Rabbi Capers Funnye. He is Michelle Obama’s first cousin, once removed. He’ll be appearing live via satellite Tuesday night at Adath Jeshurun as part of the “Live from NY’s 92Y” series.
A word about the Live from 92Y series: Awesome. Yes, it is [...]

Friends, I love this movie. Considering how much I usually dislike Jim Carrey movies that is a serious accomplishment.
This is two years in a row that Midnights at the Baxter have featured a movie I absolutely love for Valentine’s Weekend (last year it was Amelie). Well done Baxter Avenue, well done.

I’m hoping Jake doesn’t send me a cease and desist letter for using the word “fancy”, I’m pretty sure he owns the trademark. But fancy seems like the appropriate word for this special, very limited quantity beer.
The first beer in a collaboration series brewed by New Albanian, Schlafly and O’Fallon is like no beer [...]

I’d say something about turning it up to eleven but that would be way too easy wouldn’t it?

Well technically there is a fourth speaker in the Live from NY’s 92Y series at Adath Jeshurun this spring but the first speaker is so not of interest to me (Joseph E. Stiglitz) I just kind of glazed over him even though his appearance was last night. Oops. Anyway. The other three though I find [...]
