There’s a saying here in New York City that even the shrinks have shrinks. After living here nearly three years, I can only imagine some of the things therapists must hear on a daily basis so I really hope they have a sounding board of their own. While I do see a therapist from time [...]

Five Best Food Trucks in NYC
The summer of 2010 brought me to the city that never sleeps. After being offered a great internship at a small tech start-up, I packed up and moved into a teeny apartment in Gramercy with three friends. Once I deposited my first hefty paycheck, I started to explore the city the best way that I [...]
New York City on a Budget
Visiting New York City is something that every traveler will do at some point. The lights, the nightlife, the food and the crazies you meet on the street are just a few reasons why this city is home to so many art, music and fashion lovers. However, one thing I hear from travelers who visit [...]
Top Party Spots in NYC
Navigating the New York City club scene isn’t a leisurely walk in the park. It’s more like a tipsy jaunt around lower Manhattan. When I first moved to the city, I was a 22 year-old recent graduate who spent my first summer living in student housing while searching for a job in the fashion & [...]

Street Art in the East Village
A few weeks ago my videographer and I decided to take a little stroll through the East Village and profile a few streets with some pretty amazing street art. It’s safe to say that almost anywhere you wander in New York City, graffiti is not far behind. The outer boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens are [...]

Flanked on both sides by New York’s iconic lions, Patience and Fortitude, sits my very favorite New York City institution: The New York Public Library (NYPL). Having been an avid lover of all things books from a very young age, I decided to delve deeper in my knowledge of the NYPL by taking a docent-led [...]
New York’s Top 5 For Under $5
When one thinks of New York City, a lot of things come to mind: Concrete Jungle, Skyscraper National Park, The Big Apple. “Cheap” would probably not make the list. New York is notorious for ridiculously priced cocktails and Broadway shows, which is why I compiled a list of my top five attractions for under $5. [...]
Dropping Science: The Beastie Boys New York
Very few names have come to be as synonymous with New York City as The Beastie Boys, that always-pioneering, never-tiring, always-fresh trio of rappers from the Big Apple. 32 years together as a group, 8 studio albums released, and millions of records sold; such figures cast a large, asphyxiating shadow over other rhymers trying to [...]
Soundwalk Walking Tours
One of my favorite things to do in New York City is explore it via Soundwalk. For those of you who haven’t heard of Soundwalk, get your walking shoes on and your iPods charged. It is perhaps one of the most innovative ways to explore neighborhoods in NYC (and a few other cities), and lets you [...]
Your Local Sex & the City Tour
In less than a month I’ll be coming up on my second full year living in the concrete jungle otherwise known as New York City. To some, this is nothing close to a milestone, but for me it’s a reason worth celebrating. Tangent aside, I’ve been watching more Sex & the City than I usually [...]
