Since moving to New York, I’ve been a member of Thrillist. Thrillist is a daily newsletter that’s mostly geared towards males (yet I’m a subscriber). Basically, think of a male version of DailyCandy that instead of the content focusing strictly on sample sales and products, it also features cool restaurants, Web sites (such as [...]

There’s nothing worse than heading outside after a long day at work to find that it’s raining - and you don’t have an umbrella. While it’s horrible no matter where you are in the US, in the city, it’s got to be the worst - especially when you are stuck on a [...]

The boyfriend and I attempted to enjoy the winter weather and go ice skating this weekend. Being on the UES, it made the most sense to avoid the tourists and midtown and head over to the UWS to the new ice rink at the Natural History Museum which opened on Saturday. From our brief [...]

This Wednesday Friendsday we decided to hit up Milano Market, an Italian deli and food emporium on the Upper East Side. With the economy being as bad as it is, we figured we’d save a little money and bring the food back to our place. Milano Market has a large selection of sandwiches and [...]

Spent Saturday night at Swing 46, a swing dancing club in Hell’s Kitchen for a friend’s birthday. Having been to Swing 46 twice before, this club is always a great change of pace from a typical NYC bar. Swing 46 has a large dance floor and a live brass band, playing the best jazz.

One of the best things about our new apartment may be the fact that the previous resident never bothered to update her address on all of her magazine subscriptions. So when New York Magazine’s “Live Well. Spend Less” issue arrive, my roommates and I devoured the issue - and discovered that the Museum of [...]

Headed over to Jackson Hole the other night for “Wednesday Friendsday” (thanks to Caryn Donohue, Wednesday is the evening of choice that my friends gather for a meal at a new restaurant). While we came in expecting a traditional pub, we weren’t expecting a diner setting. The decor is pretty much 50s diner with [...]

It seems like everyone I know these days is performing stand-up at New York Comedy Club. And unfortunately, laughs do not come cheap.
To see a show at the New York Comedy Club down in Gramercy, tickets are $15. Not bad, but with the two drink minimum, and drinks conveniently priced at 10 bucks [...]

Stumbled over to Bourbon Street over on the UWS the other night and happened to be impressed. I’ve had the unfortunate chance of being at this bar on a Friday night and being shoulder to shoulder with a bunch of Columbia kids, but on a week night, this bar was simply a late evening [...]

The boyfriend and I headed for a nice dinner over to Sotto Cinque last night on the Upper East Side (86th between 1st and 2nd). Usually we’re never around my neighborhood at a decent hour to grab dinner, so I was unbelievably excited to try a new restaurant in the neighborhood that [...]
