BIRDBATH SUMMER

Another lease...

A new set of keys...

                                And another Birdbath to build this summer. Coming to the Upper West Side. 

Orzo with Calamari & Moroccan Olives

Postcard announcing the launch of an inspired book:
Fabrico Próprio: The Design of Portuguese Semi-Industrial Confectionary
by Rita Joäo, Pedro Ferriera + Frederico Duarte.

I went to a talk by the authors last night at Van Alen Books.
 It was crowded. I was crammed into a corner. Part of my view, above.

A new key, a new Birdbath, a new part of town. Coming in June.

  Even after so many years, getting the key to a new place is still a special feeling.  

PRETZEL CROISSANT: UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYE OF THE LAW

Since first introduced in 1996, many things have been written about our
Pretzel Croissant, but never in its 17-year lifetime has this unicorn-like
   pastry required police protection, like the last few days at City Bakery Osaka.  

The lines begin early in the morning. 

The law is watching from every angle.
