Reading & Restaurants: The Best of 2021

If you've been reading The Strong Buzz for a while, you know there are a couple of things that are constants in my life: reading and restaurants. Sure, lately running and piano playing come in there too, but harder to put into "best of" list form. I think my kids would say Moonlight Sonata and Easy On Me are my best played pieces though they'd rather never hear me play them again.


Anyway, if you're looking for a book or a place to eat, check out my lists and feel free to share your faves with me! Drop me a note at andrea@andreastrong.com.


Looking forward to hearing from you!
