Cupcakes and Cashmere

Here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson…

June 19th, 2009

I finally got around to buying some cheerful flowers, right before I leave on a business trip to Baltimore (at least I’ll get to bust out my new Alexander McQueen carry-on that’s easily the creepiest luggage I’ve ever seen).  In the meantime, I can’t wait to use our new blanket, during a screening of The Graduate, at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery this Saturday night.  If anyone has ideas for what we should bring for a picnic, I’d love to hear your favorite snacks.

    It isn’t a trip to Baltimore unless you drink a Natty Boh!! (National Bohemian beer)

    The gal that told you to hit up Brewers Art for the fries is a smart gal — just make sure you order a Resurrection & a cheeseburger to go with them!

    Other places to consider seeing: American Visionary Arts Museum & Fells Point

    Holla!
    I’m from/live in Baltimore!
    If you get around to the outskirts (meaning the Towson or Timonium areas–about 20-30 mins outside of Baltimore) you should check out San Sushi Too/Thai One On, the Kyodai Rotating Sushi Bar (both in Towson), or Andy Nelson’s BBQ (in Timonium) for Absolutely FAB Food!!!

    Congrats on the Real Style interview! I agree 100% with your picks for 5 people to have dinner with – well done.

    I love your carry-on, how fun. Also, reading all the suggestions for your picnic made me hungry! They all sounded great so I’m sure you have some lovely ideas. Ooh and I have never been to GILT but saw that you must be invited. Would you mind helping me out and I would be most grateful. :) Your posts are always so well done too–fewer words than most (but chosen wisely) and sweet photography.

    Oh, Emily, I found your interview amazing, so candid and lively, as you are……I went to high school in Baltimore….it’s become such a fascinating place…safe travel….am intrigued by your luggage!!! Oh, for your picnic, Trader Joe’s eggless egg salad or the egg white one with cherry tomatoes and the rosemary flavored crackle bread and some Asahi beer or Acacia pinot noir wine…..yum, yum

    What a cool piece of luggage. You will not lose that on the baggage carousel … !

    I lived in Baltimore for six years before moving to Virginia! I hope you have a good stay, and enjoy the local flavor (Old Bay on fries, with a little vinegar is delish) — literally and figuratively.

    P.S. I’m ashamed to admit this, but I’ve never seen The Graduate. I know, I need to remedy that right away.
