Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
It turns out I was dismissed after day one of jury duty. There’s a lot of whining involved with jury duty, but I always thought being part of the judicial process seemed cool. I was also Captain of my high school Mock Trial team so perhaps it’s me just trying to recapture my youth. After…

I had such a wonderful time with my parents while they were here for a long weekend. It was much colder than we expected, but we didn’t let that stop us from running around the city! If you haven’t been to the MoMA yet to see Edvard Munch’s “The Scream,” get there now before it…

My Mom arrives this morning and my Daddy is following suit early tomorrow morning. I am so excited to see them and have so many fun NYC activities planned. I only wish it actually felt like Springtime for their visit – below 40 degrees is not ideal but we’ll certainly make it work. JC Penney…

After weeks of crazy, I latched onto a week with few plans and didn’t let go. Sure, I have a happy hour planned tonight and a concert/night out on Saturday, but that’s far more relaxing than the last few weeks. For sanity’s sake, I promised myself I wouldn’t add anything else to the schedule. I’ve…

Once again, the quiet weekend I had planned has been booked up with activities and once again I don’t care because I know I’m going to have a great time. For years, Saturday night has been 80s night at Canal Room. The cover band is ridiculous, half the people come dressed up, and you will…

I went into this week thinking it would be a return to normal, but it’s turning out to be just as busy as last week! I don’t mind at all though because this week I may be busy but it’s all related to seeing friends I haven’t seen in a while. I’ve enjoyed the short-form,…

It is very weird to come back from a beach vacation spent entirely in bikinis to freezing cold New York. At least my trip away gave me the reminder I needed that it won’t always be cold and dreary. Spring will soon arrive and I can spend all my time outdoors. New favorite nail color:…

I should probably take things slow this week in preparation for a much needed vacation, but that just wouldn’t be as interesting so I’ve been running at full speed and trying new things. Grand Central turned 100 last week and it is just as beautiful now as it ever was. It is one of my…

I’ve really been enjoying this week of warm weather. It had been too cold to do anything but sit inside my apartment underneath my favorite blanket with a plate of pad see ew from my favorite Thai takeout spot. Now that it’s become bearable outside, I’ve found a renewed fervor to get out and enjoy…

Gotta love short weeks (thank you MLK day)! Sometimes you just need one less day at the office to keep yourself from going crazy. I’ve been looking for a simple gold necklace that I could wear every day. I wanted something with character, but it needed to be delicate enough that I (someone who feels…
