 It was quite remarkable to get a personal shout-out from the
President of the United States last week. Amidst the ovations--some
bi-partisan and some quite partisan--I heard a President say that it
was small businesses that were going to get this country back on its
feet again. He talked...

The Linkery in San Diego’s North Park is one of the hottest, if not the most recommended, farm-to-table, high caliber restaurant around. But if owner Jay Porter were in the same position now as he was in 2004, he certainly wouldn’t open a restaurant again. Jay is an unlikely restaraunteur. A former...

Giorgio Armani tried to kill Fabrice Penot. At least, it seems his business almost did. A perfume designer, Fabrice worked for years on the House of Armani brand. But even though he was brought in to run the fragrance division, he was constantly called to answer to the financial and marketing...

For six months, she worked at a travel agency, getting to know the culture and the country, and keeping her eye out for the right opportunity. She watched closely to to see what Peruvians did best and what made them unique. What she saw was a...

When I'm lucky enough make a trip back home to San Francisco, I try to indulge in childhood nostalgia as much as possible. Quite often that involves some sort of food. If I get my way, the family takes a trip up Russian Hill so we can get a scoop or sundae from Swensen's, which has been a Feuchter family favorite since before I was even around. This past holiday season, I committed a sin and...

coalition of
14 young artists created Open Space, a gallery and performance space
aiming to
showcase all types of artistic endeavors. Located inside an auto body shop in the heart of the Remington

indifference. Rather, it is a...

After spending the week ogling the reviews and pictures from New York Fashion Week's events and runways, I'm left mesmerized by how many of these creations have so much value in their artistry and craftsmanship, but the possibility of me obtaining something of this caliber is unlikely in this lifetime, if for no other reason than cost. But, a more useful - and still stylish - dress is available,...

A great synergy seemed to be taking place on The GreenShows' opening night held at 311 E. 11—the first LEED-Gold certified building in the East Village. Gary Harvey presented “fashion with a conscience,” a collection of dresses inspired by vintage couture made entirely from recycled garments. The shows, produced and created by Eric Dorfman, the founder of EdMedia Inc., give fair evidence of...

gathered at Green Spaces in Brooklyn, NY, to celebrate the inauguration

"Wait a minute... where are you?"It's the day before my 31st birthday, and my brother is calling me to wish me well and to catch up. It's been a few weeks, maybe months, since we've talked this time, and though we have a vague notion of what's going on in each other's lives, the daily specifics are often unknown—or more interestingly, filtered through our parents. So it's not surprising that he...
