		<title>Becoming American</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have lived in the United States for some 12 years. I married a US Citizen, my children are US Citizens, so I figured it was about time I joined their club. Friends kept warning me that “you never know what can happen” and the most compelling message from well-meaning advisors: “you should always have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Make Plans+ G*D Laughs:Lice Before London</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s hard to be chic when you are up to your elbows in laundry, let alone when your youngest starts scratching wildly at her head after weeks in day camp at the height of summer. Well, that’s how my long-awaited trip to London began, or the preparation time at least when I should have been [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lobster + Pool = Summer Salvation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The sweltering heat is killing me just like everyone else. I’ve spent a disproportionate number of hours with the AC running, much to my annoyance. But there are two things in particular that have given me solace this summer: the weekly lobster feasts at Rocky Sullivan’s pub in Red Hook and the Double-D pool. Lobster [...]]]></description>

		<title>Comings + Goings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A sign in the window at shuttered Cube 63 on 234 Court Street announces that another eatery, Brucie, is coming soon. No further details yet. Strong Place gastropub has just opened (July 26) in the old Shakespeare’s Sister location at 270 Court Street. The team at Cobble Hill&#8217;s Bocca Lupo is behind the new spot, [...]]]></description>

		<title>That&#8217;s More Like It!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My thanks to fellow writer Kate Godin for pointing out this incredibly divine example of Australian fashion. It channels the inner ballerina in all of us methinks, and redeems the nation after the travesty of a &#8220;national costume&#8221; that the Aussie Miss Universe contender plans to wear in Las Vegas next month. This puff of gorgeousness [...]]]></description>

		<title>Streuth! Crikey! WTF? To Aussie National Costume</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When  you  switch on the TV come August 23 to watch the Miss Universe pageant, which I know you all will, please disregard this crazed ensemble on Australia’s entrant. High-heeled Ugg boots, a sheepskin shrug and a cutout cossie, that’s a swimsuit in Oz-speak: Is this really worthy of a national fashion identity? Please, Ugg [...]]]></description>

		<title>Seersucker Serving Up Brunch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is what I have been waiting for: BRUNCH at Seersucker. The one meal I can drag a couple of hungry children to and not feel too self conscious. Thank you Seersucker for getting this going, as pledged when you opened back in  May. Fried chicken livers, a catfish po&#8217; boy, biscuits and grits; these [...]]]></description>

		<title>Enough About The Kids, Let&#8217;s Get Coffee!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So it’s the last day of school, the children stream out all hot and sticky and relieved to have long, lazing weeks ahead. We, their mothers, dig deep in their backpacks for the report card with that crucial number scrawled at the bottom: the number of the class our children will enter the following school [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bagging Dinner in Union Square</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is one kind of shopping I really love: strolling around the farmers’ market early in the morning, before the crowds and the before the hot sun saps the freshness from the produce and me. It was a rare treat today to be in Union Square with an hour to kill, and an empty bag [...]]]></description>
