How about that storm yesterday? The power went out here at PP headquarters, and we all headed out a tad early (it’s beer thirty!). On the way home, I noticed folks also without power hanging out and talking on their front stoops or piazzas. Nothing like a temporary blackout to bring neighbors together. I [...]

I believe I have made it abundantly clear here that I adore Alice Waters and all that she stands for, yes? Yes. What I might not have shared is my utter fascination with Anthony Bourdain, chef, world-traveler, author and host of the Travel Channel show, No Reservations. Bourdain is like Keith Richards, one of my [...]

So, think back to the days of when you shuffled along in a cafeteria line with your tray. After the obligatory meal stuff, did you also go for the bowl of pudding? (Personally, I have a hard time ever saying no to pudding.) Maybe some jello? A side of something? An extra glass of juice? [...]

When it’s finished, you’ll be there, eating delicious dim sum, sipping a cocktail crafted by our resident mixologist, perhaps listening to the silky sounds of The Charlton Singleton Trio and laughing with your friends.

Can I tell you? I just received an incredibly touching email from a man who wants to use The American Theater marquee to propose to his girlfriend. He and his girlfriend are big fans of the movie, The Notebook, several scenes of which were shot in front of The American Theater. Anywho, we love [...]

Goldman Drops Out of VP Race: Donkeygate to Blame

I guess I should have anticipated this outcome. It seems that what with the showing of the “ass” and all, some of the powers that be (Stephen Colbert and his muscle men) have suggested that Randall rethink his run for Vice President. This comes as deeply upsetting news to many, including one of Randall’s [...]

Well Internet, it’s Friday and the PP gang tends to get a bit silly on Friday. Perhaps it’s that 48 hours of free time ahead of us? Too much sugar? The drugs plateauing? Really, it’s hard to know. In any case, I’d like to share a few photos from Randall and Jennifer Goldman’s vacation in [...]
