The Standard Grill, Abe & Arthur’s, Gansevoort 69 • The Standard Grill • Much has improved over the weeks at "the standard," but probably not your chances of getting a dinner table during prime time (especially now that an autumnal chill is descending upon us, and the outdoor cafe/patio is no longer an agreeable availability). […]

The Boom Boom Room (or whatever it’s called) at The Standard Hotel yah so by now you’ve heard so much about the BoomBoom, you probably feel like you’ve already been there, yes? slow down, skippy. it’s worth a real live flesh and blood visit anyways. that shit is hott. sigh. if you can get in. […]

Chateau Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon 1999 – Napa Valley, California Cost: $110/bottle purchased in 2002 Consumed: 2009

  eeeeek! but then SOMEHOW completely forgets— he runs like, one of the hottest restaurants in like, the woooorld. okay seriously though. how precious is this. he attends a private concert (150 guests), stands face to face in real flesh and blood life inches away from his number one all time favorite "omg i can’t […]

"the Centro Vinoteca of Lugano, Switzerland…" is Bottegone del Vino? hmmm. not quite. it’s very nice though. and the waiters are super sweet. plus i’m a total sucker for any "uneducated unskilled blue collar service sector (wing collar?)" multilingual human being so you know how that is.       and yes, they do indeed […]

That’s right; we’re still in Travel Mode here at PX This. In that vein, I present another one of my personal favorites: The Italian. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, it’s better than most movies you’ve probably ever seen in your lifetime. The Italian is undoubtedly the kind of film that will make you fall in love […]

Hotel Metropole – Lake Como, Bellaggio   lovely, isn’t it? unfortunately, the kinda asinine thing about this particular table is that it’s technically available only for dinner. which starts at 7PM. so if you would like to enjoy this incredible view at a reasonably sunlit hour so you can actually SEE all the magnificent mountains […]

In keeping with The PX This TRAVEL SERIES, check out this video.   LOL! Laughter really is the universal language.    

Clooney, Branson, and the Ghost of Versace   if you squint hard and look really really closely, you can see them in the windows!     Richard Branson “just bought this villa” on Lake Como     a closer look at Richard Branson’s new home. (eh, it’s okay. just a tad too small maybe, no?) […]

  i don’t know how they can possibly get away with it, but i’m about 99.9% sure this Harry’sBar (despite its great location) has absolutely nothing at all to do with the famous Harry’sBar in venice. especially since about halfway through our meal, the manager (proprietor?) asked if we’ve ever been to "the harry’s bar […]
