I played Bingo last Saturday at Le Poisson Rouge. It was fun. I highly recommend it.

Three sites I am loving right now:

1. Fab. It is like Gilt Groupe for design, furniture and home accessories. It is curated very well. How did they get that domain name?

2. Speaking of Gilt, I so so so love Gilt Taste. The layout, the pictures, and the gourmet content is fantastic. Gilt Taste is what Gourmet Live should have been.

3. Did you know you can recycle your flip flops? You can if you check out UniquEco.
