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 »
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’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 »
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 »
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 »
Hi All! I feel like in my Reunion stupor I’ve been away for too long. But now I’m back, minorly refreshed, and moving onward! After sleeping in for the majority of the day on Sunday after Reunion 2012, I was lured out of bed by my roommate (thank you) with the mention of BBQ. Being … Continue reading »
Thanks again to my trusty Skint, I heard about another great NYC event called Madison Square Eats. Surprise! It is a food fair- in Madison Square Park! (not the big arena, the quaint lovely park). But of course, being New York, this isn’t just a bunch of standard food stands, the big guns of NY … Continue reading »
One of New York’s biggest draws is food. And New York foodies like to drop big names. Marcus Samuellson, Tom Colicchio, Daniel Boulud, are all names that raises attention, noses and eyebrows in the food world. One of those among food royalty is David Chang owner/chef/whatever-you-want-to-call-it of the Momofuku line of restaurants in New York. … Continue reading »
Well, baseball is back in New York and after a really great deal on Groupon, I decide to get some of those tickets. EMBRACING THE DAY! So for a celebratory evening out, we headed to the Bronx and to Yankees Stadium (a surprisingly quick train ride to my house). It is mammoth. We were up … Continue reading »
Photo of the day comes from Gray’s Papaya, a local New York tradition I some how ignored for the past 8 months. Until this weekend when we got a mid-shopping craving. This chain of little corner stores sells fruit juices of all kinds and hotdogs for cheap! And that is about it! But New Yorkers … Continue reading »
Thanks to The Skint (per usual) and various work chain emails, I was alerted that Ben & Jerry’s was having their yearly free cone day! Free?? Ice Cream?? Naturally I had to take part in this cultural event. Meghan took part with me. The lines moved quick and we were back before our lunch break … Continue reading »
Friday was a day of mourning as my Hoosiers played a good game against Kentucky but was ousted out of the tournament. The bar we were at was fun though! Can’t wait for my Hoosiers next year… Saturday was a much better day though! After a day of errands and what not, I got to … Continue reading »
As many of you know. I’m not a very good cook. When I do attempt to cook, most of the time it works out. But I’m just not knowledgable enough in cooking to whip something together (and for one person and for cheap). So recently I’ve been sticking to frozen meals and hotdogs. But I’ve … Continue reading »
I can’t get over this beautiful weather. It’s like I’ve never seen spring before! But I guess I haven’t in New York! Today as I was enjoying the sun and my lunch break, I noticed one of the biggest signs of warm weather- outdoor seating! New York is comprised of tiny restaurants in old buildings … Continue reading »

To be modest, I don’t mess up. At least not usually. And at least not with events (my personal life I mess up all the time!!) So yesterday when I totally screwed up an event for the first time ever, it was a surprise and quite the adventure! Let me preface this by saying we … Continue reading »
Thanks again to The Skint, I had another awesome, cheap New York adventure on Wednesday. This lovely adventure was at Big Nick’s Burger Joint. Nick’s was celebrating their 50th Anniversary which is AMAZING since New York trendy restaurants normally turn over every two years. For the big anniversary, Nick’s was going back to the original … Continue reading »
