Skiing near NYC and Long Island: it's possible!

Here's my Newsday survey of ski areas within reasonable driving distance from New York City and Long Island. The season's almost upon us!

Interview with Olivier Py

The French writer-director-actor Olivier Py, who also happens to run the Avignon Festival, is in town with his alter ego, Miss Knife, and I got to talk to him after the show. Click here for the piece.

One Night Only (running as long as we can)

It's great to see the WP Theater expand the scope of its offerings into dance-theater, and I reviewed the show by Monica Bill Barnes & Company for the Times. Thataway!

Interview with Mikaela Shiffrin

So psyched to talk to one of the most dominant American athletes that most Americans haven't heard of! My New York Times interview with ski champ Mikaela Shiffrin is now online.

Stairway to Stardom

My latest review for the New York Times is the dance-theater piece Stairway to Stardom, at HERE. Mixed feelings — but it sure looks great!

Historic lodges of New York State

Sure you can get a room with AirBnB, but what about style? What about breakfast? What about a bowling lane on the premises? Click here for my survey of our state's grand ol' establishments.

Katrina Lenk

I chatted with Katrina Lenk about The Band's Visit, Indecent and playing the viola, among other fun things. Plus it's part of the Times' ginormous fall preview — what a treat! Click here for the article.

Where to catch fall foliage

My latest for Newsday is a guide to where and when to see fall foliage in the northeast — and even a bit of the south. Click here for more.
