In New York last weekend, I was able to reunite with Margarita Pracatan — a previous Dining With Strangers interviewee — and she was kind enough to record this video: To find out more about this Cuban singing sensation, read my dinner interview with her from December, including videos of…
Back In The New York Groove
Back from a brief weekend visit to New York City and two new dinners with strangers. All right, I’m not being entirely truthful because one of them was a brunch. More on the interviews in a later update. While in Manhattan I also got to meet up again with a…
Tabard Inn Impressions
Saturday night I had dinner at Washington DC’s Tabard Inn to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The lounge where we had pre-dinner drinks was about 100 degrees too warm and looked like a ski lodge, and their version of a rum runner was strong but, while I love strong drinks, it…
[Insert Witty “Go Bananas” Headline Here]
I’m writing up the sixth dinner with a stranger but as you’ve probably noticed by now the articles are somewhat long so it may be a few more days before this rather clownish piece is done. Meantime, to get more updates on this site I’m going to use this spot…
Interview 5: Dinner With A Prince
A new dinner with a stranger! Hooray! And more stuff with exclamation marks! This one is my first in Washington, DC, and it’s with a blogger. I’ll say no more. Go read!

Stuff And Nonsense
A site tweak today — you get a fancy (okay, not so fancy) link to the left to bring you back to the home page whenever you want. In other news, I’m happy to report that this site looks rather fine and dandy on an iPhone. Observe: Hooray for modern…
Interview 4: Food With Franklin
As promised (I’m a man of my word!) here’s a fresh dinner with a stranger. This time round I ventured north to Philadelphia and the historic City Tavern. That’s where I met Ralph Archbold. Never heard of him? Well, he’s better known as the “official” Benjamin Franklin impersonator of Philadelphia,…
Another Month, Another Update
In the interest of updating this site more than once every month, here’s a picture from my most recent dinner with a stranger: I realize it doesn’t make a great deal of sense, but the article — hopefully up within the week — should explain everything.
It’s Off To Work I Go
This website is updated pretty often, right? Just kidding! Work and other activities temporarily prevented more dinners with strangers but I hope to do a couple more this month, including one in Philadelphia that I’m pretty excited about if I can make it happen. Drop me a line if you’re…
