Happy 4th of July, bloggies! Fingers crossed that the weather holds up so I can spend the day by the pool. If not, I’m still going to enjoy the time off work! Bite is the best Canadian import since…it’s the best Canadian import. The beauty company just set up a small shop in Manhattan where…

Tomorrow I’m headed to Baton Rouge for Patricia’s wedding. Knowing Patricia, this will be an extravaganza and I can’t wait! I finally saw what all the fuss was about at Beekman Beer Garden. All the way down at the South Street Seaport is an outdoor space that’s fun in the daytime (ping pong) and breathtaking…

I am still reeling from my fabulous birthday weekend. I was surrounded by my favorite people throughout the weekend – it was more than I could have ever hoped for. If the birthday is any indication of how the year will go, 28 will be wonderful. When I was home I got to stop by…

8 days at home was just not enough. I may be back to my NYC habits, but I still miss lounging on the boat and having all the time I want to read. Matt and Karina recently hosted us for supper at their new place and although apps are usually my fave, I have to…

This past weekend finally showed us some warm weather and I can’t help but get my hopes up that it will continue to feel like spring. My friend Brian is full on amazing. He has revitalized the under-served school system of New Orleans and just when you think he’s done it all, he starts pretty much the…

Between post-work cocktails, a Broadway show, trivia night, and an out of town visitor, I am ready for my [comparatively] calm weekend. I was lucky enough to get invited to see Ann through work, which means I have now seen my first on-woman show. I was worried it would get boring having just one person…

I’m still feeling unsettled by the bombings in Boston. I can’t make heads or tails of such an attack so I’ve stopped trying and instead have just been thankful that all my loved ones are safe and sound. Now that it’s spring, Smorgasburg is back – this time with a brand new location. While the…
