If you think dating is hard, try living in Hong Kong. I am committing to #GivingTuesday tomorrow and you should, too. But don’t listen to me; let Kevin Bacon convince you. I thought the Highline was cool but it looks lame compared to these floating couches. Did you participate in Black Friday this year? I…

While we may have barely squeezed in our monthly restaurant picks in the past, Albert got in his December pick on the first of the month. Every time we walked past Five Tacos we were on our way to another restaurant, but it looked good enough that I did a little research online. That’s where…

I think they nailed it in “There’s Something About Mary” when they marvel at how there should be more food on sticks. Food on a stick is portable and fun to eat and shouldn’t be limited to corn dogs. Stick food doesn’t have to mean ballpark, as exemplified by Stix, a restaurant that focuses on…

This is probably the best argument for a female, black SNL cast member I’ve read. Can we please institute this form of payment for the NYC Subway? Tons of my friends are participating in Tough Mudder races in an effort to prove how badass they are; but with one death and plenty of injuries on…
