I am so happy the Brooklyn Flea decided to make Williamsburg its new home for the Sunday flea market. I love a good adventure, but I love it even more when it’s an easy subway ride away. There were so many great vendors – food and otherwise. I stayed until I ran out of cash,…

I have written about No. 7 Subs before. Usually, I don’t repeat restaurant reviews, but No. 7 deserves it. In my opinion, No. 7 Subs should be in charge of making all sandwiches in the world from here on out. Everything they make is amazing and as long as they keep changing the menu to…

Once again, Rocio decided to celebrate her birthday on a Friday night and although I was tired from the work week, I made sure to rally so I could celebrate with her. I had never heard of The Blind Barber, but it was a good enough bar to make me happy I ditched my usual…

I finally made my way to Beauty and Essex on Thursday night to see what’s been pulling the Beautiful people out of Meatpacking and into the LES. We went from seedy to glam in time it took to walk through the pawn shop façade that fronts the restaurant (and yes, those guitars and sparkly brooches…
Read MoreI am so angry with myself for not taking pictures of my lunch at Danji last week. I wish you were able to see the delicious bowl of Korean comfort food I wolfed down in a matter of minutes. On Wednesday, my team at work decided we wanted to go to lunch and we were…
