is today. Why? Cause the legs are back out people. The coats are being shed. The sunglasses are abounding. Snow be gone, it seems the entire city has a spring in its step. The fountain is on and I had an ICED tea this morning. It’s worth repeating… ICED. That’s right- it’s April and its … Continue reading »
Hey y’all- long time no type. Truthfully- life has taken a mind of its own. Good news- I see the light maybe like two weeks away? Maybe. I think so. But in the mean time I just wanted to share something that has helped me keep my sanity. Massages. Lauren’s back has decided to also … Continue reading »
Tonight I was walking to the subway after a long day of work and I saw some tenting up at the local movie theater. Being the event professional that I am, I was curious. I noticed the pipe and draping, noticed the step-and-repeat, noticed the paparazzi and being at a movie theater- duh- movie premiere. … Continue reading »
Well folks, the holidays have officially hit Harlem once again this year. Now we are old pros. I confirmed that the hot lumberjack man was back again to sell trees across the street. He indeed was. Plaid and all. So the roommates allowed me the “opportunity” to purchase our wreath this year. (Our little apartment … Continue reading »
I hate being sick. I hate being sick on the weekend even more. I’m spending the weekend watching hours and hours of Friday Night Lights. Online holiday shopping and making these cookies. Oh- and working on Sunday. Womp Womp. All in all though, not a bad way to spend a sicky weekend. Hope you’re weekend … Continue reading »
Monday hit me hard. Like a big slap on the face for the week. So here is to Tuesday. Let’s enjoy this one. And to start it off right: Peace out cool cats. Look around today.
The Saturday before Sandy hit the Lower East Side super hard, I went on a Lower East Side Food Tour. It was delicioussssss. And thanks to The Skint it was half off and only $30! For the amount of food we consumed and the amount of new restaurants I experienced- totally worth it. Next time … Continue reading »
I crawled out of my warm bed at 6:00AM (still no heat after Sandy/idiot landlord), went down with my fellow Harlemites, and I voted!!! So should you!!!! Two days after getting my New York State license, I used my vote for the next POTUS. I’m officially a New Yorker– totally legally 100%. Seeing the screen … Continue reading »
Welp, I’m 24. As a wise friend said- it can’t be that bad of a year when you have an TV show named after it. But Taylor Swift also has stopped writing songs about my age soooo yeahhhh. Truthfully though- I had an amazing birthday. Between my surprise birthday party at work, to an evening … Continue reading »
I’ve been wanting to go to Peanut Butter & Co. since I heard it existed. A place that is entirely peanut butter sandwiches= heaven. I first tried the various flavors of peanut butter at the New York Chocolate Show (white chocolate peanut butter, maple peanut butter and more!) This magnificent establishment is owned by the … Continue reading »
So this is my third time around with the Broadway posts, and since my last Broadway review, I’ve seen 3 more shows, 2 in the last week!. Again, none of which I paid for at full price! It is the only way to go! As an update, out of the 3 shows I reviewed last … Continue reading »

Hi Friends! My friend Meghan sent me an awesome article from Gothamist highlighting “Restaurant Row” in Harlem. It is an awesome look at my neighborhood and all the awesome restaurants popping up! AND there are at least 5 more that I can name that are NOT on this list! I haven’t been to all these … Continue reading »

So my family has been visiting all week (more on that later), and on Sunday night, they had signed us all up for a bike ride… in Manhattan. When the Tennant family said that we were doing a 5-hour bike tour around New York, I was a little nervous. My outdoor adventure loving family was … Continue reading »
First, I apologize for the crappy photos. Pictures at dusk are not fun/easy to take. Last Friday I got to experience one of those “New York things” that I had been wanting to experience since I moved here- an outdoor movie. Outdoor movies around New York City are a HUGE thing. Parks, rooftops, parking lots, … Continue reading »
As I’ve mentioned before (like here, here, here, and here) weekend brunch is a BIG thing to do in New York. Like evvvvvverybody goes to brunch. And this is one trend that I am totally happy to hop on the bandwagon for. I mean- who wouldn’t?? And a New York brunch is not complete without … Continue reading »
This past Saturday, prior to being assaulted on the subway platform, I went to one of the coolest things I’ve seen New York offer thus far. The MOMA PS1 Warm-Up. Pretty much, it is a big outdoor party at MOMA’s PS1 in Long Island City, Queens where a variety of experimental bands and DJs perform … Continue reading »

So after what was a completely full and exhausting day at the beach, we could have called it a day but we live in New York, home to … Continue reading »
4th of July was kind of a big deal in terms of New York milestones! So here is the first of three fun-filled 4th of July posts… Get Ready!!! I’ve finally made up my mind in one of the biggest decisions a New Yorker can make. I’ve decided if I’m a Mets fan or a … Continue reading »
