1. The Story: As a long-time listener of NPR, I was thrilled to discover American Public Media's "The Story," hosted by Dick Gordon, while we were driving through Vermont and New Hampshire a few weeks ago. Filled with first-hand accounts, "The Story" gives listeners a chance "to understand events through the experiences of real people." Their recent series on "Bankers, Brokers and Bandits" gives a good perspective on current events-- I originally thought it would be depressing to listen to but it somehow made me think positive on the outcome of our economy.

2. Amai Tea House: If you are ever in New York City, please visit Amai Tea House. Their Matcha Tea Latte is just heavenly and the baked goods are extraordinary, you'll probably not see their offerings anywhere else. I've been following Kelli's blog for years and her spot in the Gramercy Park area is a sweet haven in a big city.
3. Los Angeles Magazine: Los Angeles Magazine still floats my boat. Sure they have the best guides in restaurants and shopping but their editorial is just superb on all things Los Angeles. Chris Nichols' column is riddled with all the nerdy details about L.A. you always wanted to know and their investigative story on the Zankou Chicken empire, for instance, provides you with a rare insight on a complex family. The celebrity content? Minimal-- how refreshing!
