I woke up on Saturday (day two in New Orleans) a little tired but still ready to go. I got dressed and met the group downstairs to head to the wedding jazz brunch. The brunch was held at The Court of Two Sisters, a beautiful spot. The all white and wrought iron restaurant had huge…

Major plane probs caused me to arrive in New Orleans for Greg and Susan’s wedding 12 hours late, which meant that once I actually made it there last Friday morning, I was go go go. I’ll be recapping the ridiculously awesome wedding weekend day by day, starting here with day numero uno: I arrived at…
Read MoreCall me a snob, but I’m rarely in the Upper West Side – UES all the way for me. Last night, however, was an exception as I went up to 81st and Amsterdam to meet Jared for a glass of wine. Typically, I wouldn’t be so accommodating, but Jared’s a newbie to the city so…

Want a party? Go to Bagatelle for brunch. Believe me, you need to be briefed beforehand so you know what you’re getting into. We arrived at 1:30 on Saturday to celebrate Steph’s bday, and I saw a few disbelievers in the group. I think they were just surprised to see so many sequined dresses in…

Check it out if you’re artsy…or if you just like fun, porky events. The team from the…
Read MoreI had a wild night on Friday night – very rare for me, which meant I woke up on Saturday morning remembering why I usually leave going out to Saturday nights. We were meeting friends in the East Village so we chose KGB Bar as a meeting spot after seeing it was a Critic’s Pick on…

Last night was another great dining experience with coworkers. It was a Thursday night, and we were 4 hot mamas, so the only logical dinner location was Meatpacking. Didn’t you know? I’m one of the beautiful people. We went wild on the menu: Appetizers: Tuna Tartar Tacos Hamachi Sashimi (Pictured below, top row, far right):…
Read MoreI am happy to say that I crossed another restaurant off my list on Saturday night! I am always intrigued by a restaurant that specializes in something. I think it is because I like the idea that they are throwing themselves into something 100%, nothing half-assed about it. The latest restaurant to catch my eye…
