Village Chinese Therapy Center
If I were to win the lottery today, there are very few things I would change about my life. I wouldn’t hire a personal chef (I love NYC restaurants too much). I wouldn’t go on a shopping spree (I love my NYC apartment with limited closet space too much). And believe it or not, I [...]
New Year’s Resolutions Courtesy Of New York City
I am a huge fan of New Year’s Resolutions. There’s just something refreshing about January 1st…a clean slate, a fresh start, a massive hangover…okay, so maybe it’s not all buttercups and butterflies, but you get my drift. I’ve decided to use the great city of New York to help me out with some of my [...]
Francois Chocolate Bar In The Plaza Hotel
Nestled in the heart of Midtown Manhattan lies one of my favorite sanctuaries. I know what you’re thinking…”Sanctuary? In the middle of Manhattan? That’s the biggest oxymoron ever!” In a time when even St. Patrick’s Cathedral is more of a tourist trap than place for reflection, I understand your doubts. But I promise you, just [...]
My “PM” At The Northern Spy Food Co.
Every now and then, I need to take a “PM”, personal moment. This usually happens when a person is suddenly affronted by a stressful situation. But, for me, it happens when I really need to take the time to savor an experience–which, in this case, was a freshly baked biscuit. To explain, my loving sister [...]
The Times Center Presents “Times Talks”
When the “TimesTalks”… people listen. In a city that never sleeps and where anything goes, we need an assured voice of reason, authority, intelligence, and ultimately, sanity to balance our daily doings. Now the times they are a changin’ faster then a rolling stone. Our world seems beyond our control, yet I continuously count on [...]
Gracye Productions Presents “The Asphalt Christmas”
When you think of any theatrical production that has the word “Christmas” in the title, usually images of Tiny Tim, baby Jesus, or jolly ol’ St. Nick come to mind. Wholesome, pure characters that evoke the reason for the season, albeit a bit stereotypically. For those of you who have had your dose of wholesome [...]
L’Occitane En Provence Launches Flagship Boutique In Flatiron
The French are masters at a few of my favorite things: croissants, cinema, and cream. Hand cream from L’Occitane En Provence, that is. On Thursday, December 8th, 2011, L’Occitane En Provence had their exclusive launch party of their first U.S. flagship boutique, now the largest L’Occitane in the world. Guests were treated to Provencal delicacies [...]
Gotham Radio Theatre Presents “Rudolph’s Tale: A 1964 Christmas”
How I love a New York City Christmas. Not just for its twinkle lights, egg nog, or general sense of merriment that overcomes all the locals. What I most appreciate is the sense of nostalgia that takes over the city. It may be the one time of year where tradition runs deeper than trend, smiles [...]

How would you like to do something fun and different and at the same time pay honor to the brave soldiers who risk their lives daily for our country? Wall Street Rocks is a unique organization whose mission it is to raise funds and awareness in support of America’s most valuable assets: our heroes in the [...]
Fresco Pizza In The Bronx
When you think about NYC several images probably pop into your head…The Empire State Building, yellow taxi cabs, and the tastiest of them all: the New York slice. While you can find a pizzeria on virtually every corner of Manhattan, today I’m going to lead you to the best place in the Boogie-Down Bronx to [...]
