We're dying over your dining room — what kinds of entertaining do you do?
"I love a huge dinner party — we do a lot of entertaining and dinner parties; BBQs in the backyard are my favorite. We have kids and we have a lot of friends with kids, so I have gotten used to lots of friends, lots of kids, great food, and delicious cocktails... nothing is better. They can stay all night, and even crash on our couch if it comes to it — restaurants never let you do that.
Once a year (the day after New Year's Day), we do a brunch that usually lasts all day and ends in ordering Thai at midnight and a beer run to the bodega — this has become tradition and I am sticking with it."
