A long-time resident of the Midwestern United States blogs about living in New York City and how it compares to life in the suburbs of Cincinnati.

If you get there early enough, and thus get a seat, you can get a free tasting of the food being presented at the Herald Square Macy's Look Who's Cooking demo on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1 p.m. I happened to be there last week and saw the chairs being set up, so I stayed. Besides, I needed to take a load off my feet. Perfect! The demo was Ger-Nis, a place in Brooklyn that specializes in cooking classes using herbs and locally grown products. I learned how to make pesto and how to use it. It is one way to use up that bundle of herbs left over after using only 3 sprigs for one recipe. There are some amazing recipes on their website: Ger-Nis Culinary and Herb Center
