Smith & Wollensky Atlantic Wharf

Smith & Wollensky Fort Point ChannelLast year at this time Smith & Wollensky opened their second location in Fort Point Channel at Atlantic Wharf.  The restaurant is large – 10,000 sq feet – complete with an outdoor patio near the water and oyster bar.  A working lunch with colleagues is what brought me to Smith & Wollensky (sometimes my job has great perks).

The staff was very helpful through out, making the entire experience pleasurable. Smith & Wollensky’s lunch menu includes more than a dozen starters ranging from smoked Clam Chowder – $9 to an appealing looking tuna crudo on Himalayan Salt Block – $17 (mental note to try that on my next trip). Salads, sandwiches, seafood and of course their filet mignon as well as other red meat classics round out the lunch menu options.

Smith & WollenskyI opted to carb overload by indulging in their flat bread of the day – $12.  The flatbread was topped with cheese, tomatoes, arugula and grilled sirloin and served on a long wooden cutting board. It was extremely satisfying, and the flatbread served as a trusty vessel holding the toppings as I piled piece after piece into my mouth.  I’m not a steak house guy, but I really liked dining there and think you will too.

Sarah Silverman on voter fraud

Sarah Silverman recently released a video mocking the voter fraud debate in the United States. This is an argument I believe is a smokescreen for conservatives looking for legal recourse to discourage elderly, students and minorities from voting in the November election.

Note: Sarah is her usual colorful self – this is NSFW

National Gay Men’s HIV/AIDS Awareness Day

National Association of People Living with AIDS

Although this organization is based in D.C. and your local community may not be doing anything, I thought it was worth posting for those in Washington, D.C. Hopefully, this reminds all of us that there is a very human component to this story, that has yet to write a happy ending.

You may learn more about this organization and the awareness day by linking here.

Have a great weekend

BosGuy brain teaser

brain teaserEach Friday morning I post a riddle or brain teaser.  The idea is to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain.

I’m confident you’ll see through this week’s riddle and figure it out.

This week’s riddle:  Acting on an anonymous phone call, the police raid a house to arrest a suspected murderer. They don’t know what he looks like but they know his name is John and that he is inside the house. Inside the house is a carpenter, mechanic, plumber and fireman playing poker. Without hesitation they immediately arrest the fireman. How do they know who to arrest?

Romney’s foreign policy fumbles

RomneyConsidering the series of foreign policy missteps from  Romney’s campaign, I wonder if he regrets the resignation of Richard Grenell – his initial foreign policy spokesperson. Grenell was forced out in May because he is gay and Romney wanted to appease the Christian Conservatives he continues to pander to.  One cannot help but wonder if Grenell was still working for Romney if his foreign policy gaffes would have even happened.

– In July criticizing the London Olympic games just after arriving in London on the eve of the games starting.  More on this story here from FOX NEWS

– In August suggesting Jews are “Culturally Superior” to Palestinians.  More on this story here from Huffington Post

– In August omits any mention of War in Afghanistan at his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.  More on this story here from MSNBC

– In September asserting that Russia is America’s number 1 enemy; overlooking nearly a decade long war against our real public enemy – terrorism and terrorist organizations like Al qaeda.  More on this story here from US News & World Report

– In September his statements regarding the killing of US Ambassador in Libya results in admonishment from conservative peers. More on this story here from NYT

You reap what you sow Mr. Romney. You should’ve kept Grenell, because you look like a bumbling amateur right now.
