I consider myself a pretty good tipper. I always leave 20% or more on a restaurant check, even if the service and food were not as expected. When I valet my car, it’s always a $2 bill when I drop it off, and a $2 bill when I pick it… Read More "“It’s Customary” Or, “Matteo’s In Boca Raton.”"

"Groupon." Or, "How Strippers Save Money."

“Salty, Over Buttered Popcorn.” Or, “Hollywood’s Dead.”
Over dinner the other night a friend asked, “Do you go to the movies often?” It’s a pretty simple question, but every time I get asked it, I get a little embarrassed.

"I Don't Care if my Meat is Certified." Or, "Are You Italian?"
I walked into a neighborhood Italian joint the other day. Not the kind with the red and white checker tablecloths and the mis-matched flatware, but the white linen kind that offers the choice of “flat, sparkling or (God forbid) tap” water.
