When my Mom visits we like to just…walk. We don’t usually make a strict plan ahead of time and we stop whenever we see something interesting, whether that’s a restaurant or boutique. On the first day of her vistit we made “village” our general destination. We didn’t even specify East or West so we started…

When it comes to the UWS, I’m usually out of my depth. I’m not in the area often enough to know which spots are good and which, more importantly, offer a great brunch deal. That’s why when we met Shawn in his neighborhood for brunch last weekend, we had to follow his lead. He introduced…

I’m in a stupendous mood today! Why, you ask? Because my Mom is coming tonight, that’s why! When she found a super cheap flight a year ago, she booked a solo trip on a whim (much to my Daddy’s chagrin who was feeling very left out). We had so much fun last time that she…

Date nights don’t have to be on weekends. On Wednesday Albert asked if I wanted to hang out and even had the idea to grab a quick bite and go to a fun indie flick downtown. It was so different from a typical Wednesday and embodied everything I love about this city. We saw the…

If I’m just snacking, I like to use pita bread (instead of flatbread because this is healthier, especially if you use whole wheat pita) to make a little open faced sandwich. When you split the pita in half (basically, just take the hole and open it further til you have two rounds) it’s just filling…

I made the difficult decision to lay low on Saturday and Sunday. I knew that if I didn’t, it would mean seven straight weeks with no time to myself. While that means I may have missed out on a party, I got to rest up and recharge my batteries. After spending my weekend taking a…

When Amelia commits suicide by jumping off the roof of her elite New York City prep school, things don’t quite add up for her mother. Amelia was happy and never showed any of the signs, but Kate doesn’t start asking questions until she gets a mysterious text from a blocked number telling her Amelia didn’t…
