I spotted this lady( who is perfect for my site) in the lobby of the Historic Algonquin Hotel just hours ago and thought she looked charming in her big red glasses and printed silk scarf. I was there to do a little research for Mimi Weddell's big hat party and I'm sure Mimi would be a fan of this woman's style as well. It turns out that her name is Helen Marcovicci, and she was a well known torch singer in the 1940s. I look forward to hearing her music and checking out her new album, though she made sure to let me know that I couldn't afford her for our party ha!

Plovgh, the new online farmers market
Who knew that the farming world had a trend? Well, Mallory Sustick, a Brooklyn bartender, works like a dog to maintain, promote and advance the online farmer's market startup Plovgh that began after noticing a need for more local farm market distribution.
