The tenement on East Seventh Street where I live was built in 1893, when a financial crisis in the United States had started to corrode a fabled, materialistic and short-lived time known as the Gilded Age, chronicled most recently in the HBO series of the same name.The building's original owner, Sigmund B.

Why Bacaro's Squid Ink Pasta Has No Squid Ink in the Pasta
I have a dumb and stubborn rule about cooking with bourbon.I don't do it.Ever.Why?Because by my calculation, there's not a dish on the planet that's more pleasurable with a shot of bourbon in it than the same booze-less dish cooked or eaten while taking that shot of bourbon straight to the face.It's rooted in the principle that, whenever possible, ingredients should be put to their highest and best use: I believe this about whiskey.

One would think, given his holiday album, A Very Darren Crissmas, that Darren Criss would be kind of obsessed with Christmas.This is not quite accurate, he said.However, aside from the convenient, yet eye-rolling pun that is the title, it is a very me collection of songs.For example, the actor, singer and songwriter updated the second track of the recording, I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas, a 1953 novelty hit originally performed by a 10-year-old, with an almost hip-hop feel.
