Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
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…

Who’s ready for the weekend? ME. It took far too long, but Spring has finally sprung and I can’t wait to enjoy it. I’m all about using social media appropriately. Cole Haan has developed a great tumblr tracking Subway Style. This links to their current branding with their logo in MTA-style lettering and their recent…

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,…
