I kinda love these drunk horoscopes. How spot on is yours? I’m proud to say I got all five questions right on the test NYC private pre-Ks are now admitting. But I had to think pretty hard. And I’m 29. Who are these baby geniuses? Violence in Israel is out of hand. Let me break…

“The Goldfinch” is intimidating. It is a 771 page hardcover that really weighs down my tote bag on my commute to work. I think that’s the reason I put off reading it for so long. But “long and heavy” is no longer a valid excuse when the novel is on every best list and then…

After about five years on the less convenient river [for me, the only one that matters] the fireworks came back to the east side (thanks, Mayor de Blasio!) so I decided to throw a party on my rooftop. It was a great idea until I woke up to rainy skies. The weather cleared up just…

Happy 4th of July! This holiday is all about being outside in the heat of summer. Rather than sit in the air conditioning, I like to cool down with some frozen treats. If you’re the same, you should check out my new favorite scoop shop, OddFellows. Their first shop opened a year ago in Williamsburg…

Everyone around here is anxious to kick off their 4th of July weekends a bit early, and I am no exception. I can’t wait to leave work and finish up a few last minute errands before a little date night. Then tomorrow it’s party time! Now that the fireworks are back on the East River,…
