Life in NYC under extraordinary circumstances.

For some reason, curating this playlist was particularly enjoyable as I explored streaming radio, revisited old favorites and discovered new ones.

Valentine’s Day is probably my least favorite day on our cultural calendar, but I have a real soft spot for these songs and the sentiment they carry. Don’t tell anyone.

New year, new decade, new playlist.

If you heard a crack in the atmosphere earlier in the day, that was the collective sound of Bond and watch fanatics reacting to Omega’s release of 007’s new watch.

With shoes, my taste and experience tell me that nothing seems to look as good and wear as well as leather. That may be changing. Maybe.

I’d never considered Suitsupply for anything but suits and jackets. Along with their other wares, they also have a really handsome collection of ties.

I love a good hotel. My new favorite is at John F. Kennedy International Airport.

The number of new leather goods I buy today is a fraction of what it used to be. Because animals.

Since Levi’s abandoned what I liked about them, I needed a Plan B for jeans. I think I found a good one.

My favorite coffee is the coffee I brew at home. Sometimes I like to take it with me (with a little style, of course).

I tend to go a little darker this time of year, and this playlist is no exception. But there is some fun and texture…

A little video demonstrating how I replace the protective taps under the heels of my shoes.

I’ve tried just about everything under the sun over the decades. Cremo just might be my favorite.

To ride a bike otherwise is simply not a good look.

I searched high, I searched low, and I finally found a handsome, well-made, affordable and workable solution to my credenza problem.
