So I know this really awesome guy that gets me to do things I wouldn’t normally do…like go to a professional basketball game. Lord knows I’m a college basketball girl through and through but I’ve never been to a professional game. So being at Madison Square Garden for my first Knicks Game was kind of … Continue reading »
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 »

So as many of you know, since my wee days as a young kid I’ve been obsessed with the Today Show. Before today, I had been on the show 5 times. And then today happened. Today made SIX. Before today, I was on the show: As a 10 year old in the crowd Interviewed in … Continue reading »
After a Christmas experience very different than years past, I’m back in New York. Though I never vocalized it pre-25th, I was nervous about Christmas this year. It was the first time not seeing my mom on Christmas ever, not going out to California for part of the holiday, and it was the shortest Christmas … 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 »
One of the things I wanted to do on my long Thanksgiving weekend was get out of the city. I hadn’t left the city since I went to Spain 3 months ago, so I was ready for an escape. But with the short time frame, holiday crowds and wanting to be a little cheap- I … Continue reading »
Well hello all- I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I’m ending mine curled up on my couch feeling a little sicky. But that doesn’t mean I had an awesome Thanksgiving. This was the first year that I wasn’t able to make it back to family. Weird. A bit sad. And very different. But I’m … Continue reading »
Hanging out on my couch today. With Sandy supposedly coming this way, I can’t help but think of Irene last year and what a waste it was. I just sat on my couch and watched Mad Men and no rain ever showed. This year? I’m sitting on my couch watching Sex and The City and … 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 »
Many moons ago, just when it was turning chilly, my mom and I ventured to The Strand bookstore to find some new/used books and wander the aisles. When you come to New York, we will go there and absolutely love this place. It’s kind of a big deal. The old books you find. The cheap … Continue reading »

New York is not about staying stagnant. New York is about chasing dreams. This sounds incredibly cliche and lame. But since moving to New York, it has been my dream to work here: Lincoln Center. The mecca for performance. A celebration of the arts in the middle of the city. Every time I walked onto … Continue reading »
This weekend was a busy one, but thank goodness life cleared off my schedule for a short time on Saturday to meet up with this wonderful lady. I love visitors- I feel lucky that I live in a place that people want to visit, but I can’t tell you how amazingly wonderful it was to … Continue reading »

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 »
Sometimes, being in events means you get to go to events. Especially in the summertime when everyone is dead slow and people want to generate some possible new events and clients to add to the calendar, venues will host industry events. And that was just the case on Tuesday night when me and the team … Continue reading »
