The 'burbs have more of them this year, too. I see 3 or 4 of them every day, not including the one that has pretty much taken up residence in our yard the past two years. Fun to watch, but did she have to chew 10 new hydrangea bushes down to the ground over the winter.

Super, Now I'll have a limited supply of food for my new overpriced restaurant I'm planning on opening in Wicker Park: "Hossenpfeffer"

I live near the Elks Club Headquarters at Diversey & Lakeview, and there are always 3-4 rabbits munching the grass on the big, fenced-in lawn there.

Please use stock in that gravy, not water. You will be so much happier.

Bunnies! In NYC, I think I've only seen a bunny in Riverside Park, but I could have been hallucinating. However, I do know that Amy Sedaris is a big fan of bunnies in the apartment.

Cut the hare into small convenient-sized joints. Fry these in hot butter until nicely browned, and with them 1 onion, sliced, and 3 ounces of bacon, cut into dice. Take out the hare, etc., while you brown 2 tablespoonfuls of flour in the butter. Add gradually 1 1/2 pints of water or stock, and, when it is smoothly mixed, put in the pieces of hare, 6 or 8 peppercorns, the rind of 1/2 lemon, 4 or 5 cloves, and the gravy from the dish in which the hare lay. Simmer gently for an hour or more. Put the pieces of hare into a dish, strain the gravy over them, and garnish with sliced lemon. When the hindmost part of the hare has been already served, the inferior joints are excellent cooked thus. The head should be split in two, and the liver cut into 2 or 3 pieces. Sufficient for three or four persons.

Uh...don't know what the guy above me is going for but I work on the 1.5 floor of a small office building in Lake View near the Vic. And every morning for the past week a bunny has been hopping out from the ivy covered fence next door through our alley parking lot to another home across the alley.
