It's nothing that a little compromise and creativity can’t solve.

I come for one dish and one dish only -- and a kebab it is not.

It's not a drought buster, but it's a start.

Can you identify these cartoon figures that flew in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade back in the 1970s and 80s?

Listening to folks talk about us has a somewhat zoo-like feeling. But it’s fun eavesdropping:

Suggesting that the first Thanksgiving was actually on the Upper West Side.

From our small vehicle into a mammoth edifice...It’s huge. The world’s largest Gothic Cathedral.

Some sad closings, but exciting openings too: a French-themed wine bar; a high-end marketplace; a work-friendly cafe, and a Southeast Asian eatery.

It’s a long weekend with Thanksgiving on Thursday and it starts this afternoon. Let’s Weekend (Early)!  

What to do when friends don't return your food storage containers? "People suck. Share via Ziploc." 

Containerization is an attempt to get trash bags off the sidewalks and streets and into rat-proof bins.

But I've got to wonder -- does anyone show up?

Events from St. John the Divine to Riverside Park to Central Park. Plus, homemade cookies needed for free Thanksgiving meals.

Upper West Side figures float above the neighborhood.

Yes and no, according to Stephen Harmon's photographs.

Pre and postnatal fitness studio opening; waxing to replace Max; high-end Chinese and "Brain-Health' eateries coming; Senn temporarily closed.

"We have balance issues and hold hands to keep from falling! I’m grateful for that!"

The "Street Seat" is located at the corner of West 72nd Street and Columbus Avenue.

Know the feeling?

New York City was the first place to require licenses for dogs in 1894.

See a classic film; rake leaves; bake cookies for charity; end the weekend at an Irish pub.

Table for two.

As I was painting, people would stand in front of me and take pictures of the sign over the door.

There was such a great sense of community, of pleasure in just being alive.

Whatever happens, we’ll still be here for you, answering your most pointed and pointless questions.

1. I can tell my California friends, with pride, that composting is now mandatory in Manhattan.

An Upper West Side school has begun the process of selling its building, in the face of possible foreclosure.

We're all in this together.

I do not make wishes when the clock hits 11:11.
