I’m not going to lie - even though my office is on the border of the West Village, I can’t make it through that neighborhood without staring at Google Maps on my phone. That’s why I’m excited to try the neighborhood out next week at TheDealist’s Tastes of the West Village festival.
This event [...]

Earlier this week, Laura (thoughts in italics) and I were lucky enough to visit West 3rd Common (full disclosure: we were invited to dine there. We are ethical bloggers!). West 3rd Common is owned by the same person who runs Common Ground, which our guest writer, Jenni, reviewed last week, and it just [...]
