My busy season at work has begun so I’ve been getting to work extra early, leaving little time for fun. It’s times like this that it’s most important to pick out those few things to take the days from gray to golden. This is a view of the inside of my apartment. If it looks…

Last Thursday we celebrated Erica’s birthday – 30, Flirty, and Fun! Yes, that’s a quote from “13 Going on 30”, but it also became our theme for the evening. I may have been the only single gal, but the other four married/engaged girls were flirty enough to make our waiter blush and after several cucumber…

I have shrugged off The Soft Serve Fruit Co. as another Pinkberry-esque fro-yo place for about a year. It kind of is, but there is something that sets it apart: its all fruit.

Anne and I were meeting up with some friends for a drink (or four) at Whiskey Town around 11/11:30, but we were both ready to head out early and wanted to get a drink under our belts at a calmer establishment first. I had been hearing great things about The Wren and knew I liked…

Saturday was another one of me and Podz’ “neighborhood days” where we pick a ‘hood and just walk around, checking out all of its unique spots. Today’s spotlight is Harlem, a neighborhood I’ve scarcely visited in all my five years in New York but one I am now obsessed with. Harlem is undergoing a second…

The summer is chugging along and I’ve had no complaints thus far… Second Time Around, a designer consignment store just opened a few blocks from my apartment. Until they set up shop in my neighborhood, I was safe. The other two boutiques near me were too pricy for me to even walk in the door,…

What a lucky girl I was to get quality Italian two nights in a row! The vibe and setting of Osteria Morini could not have been more different from the previous night’s meal at A Voce. Instead of the white tablecloths and sleek modern lines of the Time Warner Center, we were seated at rustic…
