You may have heard of Nuggs by SIMULATE? They had some buzz and lots of investors since their incarnation in 2019.

My list of vegan options in New York City is, once again, busting at the seams. Busting at the seams even though packaged options do not make it to my list. The world is becoming so very friendly, keeping me busy–exploring and supporting high standards with my hard-earned bucks. Next Read more…
After dinner with a friend, pastries at Le Petit Monstre. Because Clinton Hill has great vegan game… and we’d need something for the ride back to Bay Ridge.

Back in 2009 I visited the trolley cars that were withering away behind the Fairway in Brooklyn’s Red Hook. Though I took a few photos of them at the time, I assumed they’d be long gone as Brooklyn’s waterfronts continue to transform. But on a recent ferry ride, I saw Read more…
