Love: Scopa, which after last Sunday's dinner moved from being our friends' obsession to my love. I would be happy as a clam if I could have their burrata with grilled bread, followed by the grilled calamari, for dinner at least one night a week in perpetuity.
Like: Trajarinho Vinho Verde from Portugal, which some friends brought over. It's mineral-y, crisp and super refreshing on a warm summer day. Plus they nailed the label.
Discovery: Tales of the City. I watched the PBS mini-series when it came out in the 1990s, not too long after we moved to the Bay Area. For some reason, I was inspired to pick up the book last week and found it to be a perfect light and breezy pool-side read, with an enjoyable glimpse into San Francisco life in the swinging 1970s.
Obsession: Ruschmeyer's, a new hotel on Montauk. It looks amazing, and has created a yearning for a late summer trip East.
Complaint: Larry David has a million complaints. And I'm so glad he'll be back Sunday for Season 8 of Curb Your Enthusiasm, which Alessandra Stanley of the New York Times describes perfectly as "a series centered on the petty irritations that blister an idle, privileged life."
