Would you like to end the week in a truffle coma,...
Chef Dave Santos just had a four-top cancel for Thursday night’s truffle extravaganza. The menu is below, the cost is $125 per person, and it’s going to be some of the best food you’ll eat all year, not to mention a grand ol’ time (so grand, I’m subsisting on juice in anticipation). Check out my posts from previous Santos meals … and Annie of Frites and Fries...

Purpose.
We went around the beautiful hand-made table in Bushwick* where we celebrated Thanksgiving, take two, and said what we are thankful for. I said purpose. I don’t take it for granted. We don’t all have a purpose in life — half the world is just trying to get by — and we don’t have it all the time. But connecting your day’s work to something larger than yourself...

Flood of government data fuels rise of city apps →
The thing about this article, blogged by the City of New York’s digital office and tweeted by Chief Digital Officer Rachel Sterne, is it’s all startups based in San Francisco — while the biggest building app of all is launching right here in NYC: Honest Buildings, 38,351 building profiles and counting.

A Tale of Two Thanksgivings
First, a vegetarian, South Indian feast at M.’s dad’s apartment in downtown Manhattan; then the traditional turkey-and-sides at our friends’ loft in Bushwick. Two families that I’ve somehow find my way into. This is Thanksgiving in my New York….

Personal note
Since I moved from Park Slope to the East Village, 20 blocks from my office (and 20 blocks from my other office), and stopped riding the subway except for the occasional weekend jaunt to Brooklyn, I am straight-terrified of the thing, just like I was when I first moved to New York.
