Part of the reason for me living in the boroughs and not ever wanting to leave is the fact that I’m so close to so many cultural things. So for this new year I plan on filling as much of my free time with trips to MoMA, the botanical gardens, a concert, and the museum of natural history.” Giuseppe Falco www.vestavino.com www.venturovino.com www.pachangapatterson.com “I want to chill out and hang out at length with friends; no need to go to the next thing, I just want to sit, talk, and drink tea and/or beer.” Jeff Orlick www.iwantmorefood.com “In 2015 I resolve to wear smarter clothing that’s gives my growing belly the space it needs while I attempt that carpentry project in the garden.” Daren Lawles www.ilbambinonyc.com “My number one goal this year is to be the BEST father I can be to my new son Stephen.
