Celest taught me to believe in box office ratings. She makes the argument that box office profits on opening weekends make a big impact on what sort of films get produced and released, and she spends her movie money accordingly. Obviously, the power of the purse persuades the powerful in Hollywood to make movies audiences [...]

Go Green! A Conscientious Dining List, by Erin
In honor of our nation’s new frontier , I’m doing my part to change the country the best way I know how…by dining out…green! Okay, I know the words “green,” “sustainable,” and “local” are thrown around as frequently as Rachel Ray’s “Yum-o!” these days, but this list promises to inform and correct any misconceptions about [...]

New York Tastes Better with Belle, by Erin
2008 was such an exciting year for The Dinner Belle, and with the launch of our new website and exciting gigs with TOPSHOP, The Society and The Supper Club coming up later this month, 2009 promises to be even brighter! It’s fun to think back to the time when Kimberly and I sat by the [...]

Proud Members of Society, by Erin
I know it’s a little early for Halloween and (except for Celest) wearing twelve strands of pearls at once is overkill, but Kimberly and I had the great fortune to play dress up recently, channel our innermost Daisy Buchannans, and venture from the West Village to “West Egg” for a fabulous party. It took some [...]

Macy’s, Martha and Me, By Erin
I consider myself a lucky girl. I live in the greatest city on earth, have a loving family a mere hour outside the city, a boyfriend I adore, girlfriends who are as goofy as they are glamorous, and a career that doesn’t require I punch a clock everyday. While the latter is ideal in many [...]

“When I Dip, You Dip, We Dip,” by Erin
I love to gamble. And I’m not talking about gambling on my fashion or menu choices, although both are often a prevalent form of this particular addiction. “Hey, I wonder if these high heels are going to hurt my feet after the first hour…it’s gonna be a huge gamble if I wear them. Better pack [...]

Candy and Corvettes, by Erin
Despite having lived in the world’s greatest culinary melting pot for 11 years now, despite a long line of Italian grandmothers preceding me, and despite operating one of the hottest catering companies around, I admit my tastes and food preferences are often less than refined. Kimberly scolds me for this. Even as a small child and adolescent, [...]

Erin’s Food Fantasies for ’08
Dear Santa, It goes without saying that all I really want for Christmas is my man, my fam, and to be edited back into that Macy’s ad I shot with P. Diddy! Of course, if you need more suggestions, I’d adore: 1. For Brach’s Candy Corn to be sold year-round 2. A fondue party with [...]

Let Her Eat Cake, by Erin
Yesterday was The Big Day. The B-Day. This was the first year for as long as I can remember that I did not have some sort of elaborate, one-of-a-kind, stay-out’til-the -sun-comes-up-the-next-day- while-eating-BLTs-at-the- local-diner-on-the-corner kind of birthday parties. I love birthdays. Especially my own. I love them so much, I have even been known to throw [...]
