A Note to Readers...

When I first started blogging in 2002, the food blog was still a novelty. I was inspired by an even older blog, Bread, Coffee, Chocolate, Yoga, which apparently ceased publication in 2009. Restaurant blogging is a difficult activity to maintain, because a blogger needs to have a lot of time, extra money, and motivation. Also, a new food blog seems to pop up every day, so it is difficult to be original and relevant; how many reviews of Veritas does a person really want to read?

Some bloggers with cooking expertise have gone on to write well received novels and cookbooks, but I have never been much of a cook. (You can see evidence of my abysmal cooking at http://cookingwhoops.blogspot.com. I briefly lived in an area where there were almost no good restaurants,  hence my ill-fated foray into the kitchen.)

My intention with this blog has been to spread the word about great NYC restaurants, markets, and events. However, for a few reasons, I am no longer able to keep up with the New York food scene as much as I would like. For one, I now have an amazingly active toddler. Also, I am now spending much of my time in burgeoning foodieopolis Portland, Oregon. So, for those of you who want to keep up with the always exciting world of the NYC food scene, I invite you to follow the plethora of energetic young NYC food bloggers. I will soon be focusing my blogging energy on a new project, The Rose And The Apple, which concentrates on the culinary cross-pollination between Portland and NYC. Happy Dining!

Well you should post about oregon just because your dinning in another state more often its still good to hear about other locations. I know it comes in handy because I travel a lot while I still manage to make it out to NYC its not often at all. I find myself in other states more then anything never know where.
