When my Mom told me she was going to hear a Holocaust survivor speak a couple weeks ago, I asked if she wouldn’t mind picking up a copy of the book he was discussing (she did – and it was signed!) because the subject matter was slightly different from anything I had read. There are…

I hope everyone is loving 2014 so far. This is my first full week back in the office in quite a while so I’m still getting my bearings. Without any holidays to look forward to for a while, the winter no longer means fun; it means cold. I’m keeping myself mentally warm by remembering all…

One of my New Years Resolutions was to revive this monthly feature…so here we go! The Dish: A take on street meat. There is a string of scenes where Mila Kunis’ character is trying to convince JT’s character to move to NYC by showing him all the amazing things about the city, ranging from a…

As you can tell by the lack of posts, I took a nice lil break over the holidays. My office was closed starting 12/24 and I decided to totally check out. My much needed break started with a family ski trip (the background of today’s post is the plane ride from Colorado) and ended with…

Happy New Year, everybody! It’s only day 1, but I hope 2015 is treating you well. Since Albert and I are in the same industy, we both got invited to a big black tie industry gala at the Pierre. It was fun to get all dressed up and party in one of New York’s nicest…

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas yesterday! I’m spending my X-mas break in Vail so it’s sure to be a white one – even more so than today’s background pic of NYCs first real snow of the season. Happy holidays! As a Southerner, I didn’t grow up watching hockey but am happy to adopt…
