Georgetown New Year's Eve 2010

Some shots around the neighborhood in the couple of hours before midnight, New Year's Eve. It was a balmy night. Streets relatively quiet, restaurants relatively humming, and a long line outside George on Prospect Street.

NYSD: An Urban Getaway to New York's Regency Hotel

 CHECKING IN AT THE LOEWS REGENCY HOTEL

NYSD Today: Farewell To The French Ambassador

PIERRE VIMONT, IN HIS ROLE AS FRENCH AMBASSADOR  

Pierre Vimont was in Washington only a few years as French Ambassador, but in that short time he made an impressive presence. Now he's off to Brussels for a much bigger job with the EU. He's the subject of my column today on New York Social Diary. Read it here. 

NYSD "Dining" - Lunch with Art Smith at Art and Soul

 ART SMITH'S BEAUTIFUL "PUT UP'S" SALAD AT ART AND SOUL

For New York Social Diary's "dining" column today I report on a long chatty and delicious lunch with chef Art Smith at his Capitol Hill restaurant, Art and Soul. Its interesting and appetizing. I had a good time taking the photos, too. Read it here. 

NYSD: The Smithsonian--"Art Sissies"

 THE SMITHSONIAN'S NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY

I can't take credit for the phrase "Art Sissies." It  was coined by a fellow on Tony Kornheiser's team who calls himself LL Cool G. I'd love to know his actual name. To say "thank you" for helping me on this extensive column that examines the throw down between the Smithsonian and Transformer gallery over 11 seconds of video. There's that plus Citronelle's holiday party, and a party for the Georgetown Jingle at the Four Seasons. and a tribute to Irving Berlin at the Embassy of Luxembourg. Read it all here.
