It’s good to have friends in different neighborhoods. It makes you feel worldly. It’s even better when those friends make a point to explore their own neighborhoods and let you know of new, fun places. That’s how we learned about E’s Bar, a spot that just opened about 3 months ago in the UWS. With…

Labor Day came at me fast this year. I didn’t realize until Monday that we had already reached our four day weekend. I’m not complaining because I could certainly use the time off, but it does make me a bit sad to realize that my summer this year was dreadfully short. A couple weeks ago…

I had such a great time while my Mom was here – we just walked and walked for three days. Exploring quaint West Village streets and uncovering restaurants in my own neighborhood. It’s easy to feel sad once she’s gone, but thankfully my life has been so busy I almost don’t notice. I used to live…

8 days at home was just not enough. I may be back to my NYC habits, but I still miss lounging on the boat and having all the time I want to read. Matt and Karina recently hosted us for supper at their new place and although apps are usually my fave, I have to…
