  Hello from NYC, everyone! My time here so far has been a busy mix of schoolwork (sadly, lab reports don’t take Thanksgiving holidays), seeing my closest friends, time with my mother, and catching up on desperately needed sleep.

Last night, the lovely Ms. Valerie and I decided to give Open City a try for our long overdue ladies’ dinner. I’ve been to Open City countless times for coffee (they make a mean dark roast, and pretty stellar soy cappuccinos) but never for food. Since Valerie is gluten free, I figured this would be [...]
