    Hamburger Hamlet from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ Halfway through writing this post, I realized I probably should have saved it until February.  At that point, though, it was too late to start over, so I figured c’est la vie.  Here goes.  A few years ago, when I first saw the “Galentine’s Day” episode of Parks and Recreation, I recognized the restaurant…

    A Haircut With Nicole from Shear Genius

    ‘ This year, while visiting New York, my mom, of course, booked her annual haircut appointment with famed stylist Nick Arrojo, from the TLC makeover show What Not To Wear.   As I first blogged back in December of 2007, for years my mom has been absolutely obsessed with the hair guru and had long dreamed…

    Chez Cherie Cooking School from “I Love New York”

    ‘ This year for Christmas, I decided to gift the Grim Cheaper with tickets to a cooking class.  The GC is an absolutely FABULOUS cook, while I, on the other hand, can hardly crack an egg, as I mentioned in my January 2010 post about the home where Julia Child grew up.   So I thought…

    ‘ I promise to get back to my wedding blogging in the near future, but for today I thought I’d do a post about a location that I stalked this past weekend – the Blossom d’Amour flower shop where Ruth Fisher (aka Frances Conroy) worked on the hit HBO television series Six Feet Under.  While…

  • The TKTS Booth from “Glee”

    The TKTS Booth from “Glee”

    ‘ I’ve made no secret of the fact that I bailed on the television series Glee shortly after the second part of the first season began airing.  In my opinion, after starting out so strong, the show totally jumped the shark at that point.  But because I love the Big Apple, I did make sure…

  • The Disney Garage

    The Disney Garage

    ‘ Anyone who reads this blog regularly knows that I am obsessed with all things Disney – especially Disneyland.  I can hardly pass by the “Disneyland Drive” sign on the 5 Freeway without feeling a twitch.  Not surprisingly, whenever I find myself in Orange County, my only interest is visiting the park and spending every…
