Sometimes I think there’s a place you’ve just got to know about and my Public Service Announcements (PSAs) will give you the full skinny. The last stop on my Astoria tour was Titan Foods, which I had heard was THE place to go for feta. I expected to find a small shop with some feta, olives,…

I’m excited to be sandwiched between two great weekends. I am fresh off a visit from Mark and Allison and leaving tomorrow for DC to visit Sliz. Obviously I’m most excited to have some quality time with my college bestie but this trip is also exciting because I’ll get to see what it’s like to…

What makes me happier than reminiscing about the great time I had when my Mom was here two weeks ago? Nada. Here are a few more highlights from our weekend: Two weeks ago we had a crazy heat wave but, being New Yorkers, didn’t have the luxury of getting into an air conditioned car when…
