Weekend Links.

A few less this week - too much travel!  Fortunately for me, I had an awesome seat partner on my return trip from Chicago, which made the trip a lot more fun.

• Some NYC food secrets.
• My President > yours.
• A wine park you say?
• You know you want to.  How to make 'rummy' bears.
• I listened to a podcast on the flight over.  Loving the title: How We May Hate You.

Even though I'm still recovering from my jet lag seriously what day is it, we're off to brunch in the capital tomorrow (at Sofra bld).  It's a going away for some dear friends, so it promises to be a great time.  I've also got a few meals lined up for next week before we leave for the States next Friday.  What are you up to this weekend?
