3 on Thursday

Happy New Year’s Eve!  I hope everyone’s plans have come together for tonight, even if that means just sitting on the couch.  We had zero plans this year.  You see, we were a little preoccupied getting ENGAGED (more on that below) so our thoughts were not really on NYE!  It looks like plans have come…

Slider Bar + Boozy Shake Shots

The tradition for my team’s office party is to go potluck style.  There are about 50 people who work across the Fortune and Money brands, both editorial and publishing sides.  Everyone brings in a dish and the whole group votes on their favorite.  There are prizes at stake; people get into it.  Our mini team…

LIC Market

I was pretty bummed when Danielle announced she and Seth would be moving and no longer living (LITERALLY) five feet from my front door.  Bummed is an understatement, actually.  So just a few weeks after moving into their new Long Island City home, Albert and I decided to pay them a visit.  I had never…
