Forget about brass monkey, that funky monkey junkie. I wrote an article about Jersey City’s Iron Monkey bar and restaurant. It’s the lead story in the Jersey City Independent today. The Iron Monkey is a cool little spot that’s been hanging tough since 1996, with an excellent selection of beers. If you like that sort […]

Maybe you’ve seen the name Frank B. on this site. Back in early 2008, Frank Boscoe invited me to become a contributor to Salt in Wound. Twenty years earlier, he was my music director at WRCT, the radio station of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Frank had a strong influence on my developing musical […]

Here at Salt in Wound dot-com, we tirelessly circumnavigate the globe in search of the ultimate meatball sandwich. And so it was that I found myself in Oranjestad, Aruba, at the Tamarijn All-Inclusive Vacation Beach Resort. You know how they don’t feed you on planes anymore? Suffice to say I was starving like a mothereffer […]

EPISODE #100: HALLOWEEN Note: This playlist was originally intended to be episode #48 on October 30, 2012. But with the justified fear of losing power to Superstorm Sandy, I did a special storm-themed episode on October 29. And then promptly lost power for a full week. The Who — “Happy Jack” [THEME] The Dream Syndicate […]

It’s feeling a little weird here in Hoboken as the one-year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy approaches. Memories have certainly come—no pun intended—flooding back. Stories of heroism, community spirit, successful returns, permanent losses, and continuing challenges are all freshly in mind, if they weren’t there already. I’ve had the privilege of writing three articles for AOL […]

Since 1994, on more Sundays than not, I’ve found myself at Benny Tudino’s. For the first nine years or so, it was with my buddy Joe, and we’d split a medium sausage pie. These days I get a slice. (They’re big.) It was a pleasure to write this article for the Hoboken Reporter, timed to […]
