Monday was my version of Alexander’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, starting with losing my apartment keys and running to the hardware store to make copies of my super’s keys making me more than 30 minutes late to class, and ending with a mouse making itself comfortable in my kitchen, with a [...]

I recently got a bike, and just to be honest, the bike was really because I wanted to explore other food venues in our neighborhood easily without having to wait for the subway (yes, true confessions of a fat kid). So on Saturday, my boyfriend and I biked to Ditmars Blvd in Astoria to [...]
