    UYC’s Kitchen: Ricotta Crostini

    Friday, June 14, 2013

    Every time I go to a wine bar, my go-to appetizer is those delectable little ricotta crostinis.  A combination of so many of my favorite flavors, they’re the perfect meeting point between salty and sweet, filling but not stuffing, to pair with a glass of vino.     On a whim, I decided to try [...]

    Picnicking Made Pleasant With The Parasheet

    Thursday, June 13, 2013

    What’s the one thing that can ruin a NYC picnic faster than you can say rainstorm?  Why, the picnic blanket, of course.  Hear me out on this, New Yorkers. If you’re anything like me, extra sheets are a rarity in the apartment because 1. it discourages guests from overstaying their welcome, and 2. unlike people [...]

    A Day On A Dude Ranch

    Monday, June 10, 2013

    When I was in elementary school, my first grade teacher taught us to tell the difference in spelling “desert” and “dessert”.  ”Dessert” has two s’s, because you always want another helping, whereas “desert” only has one, because who in their right mind would want a second helping of something so dusty, dry, and hot?  Mrs. [...]

    Newest Travel Buddy: Mira Digital Luggage Scale

    Thursday, June 6, 2013

    Alright, fellow travelers.  Unless you’re one of those rare breeds that “packs light” (I know, who’s ever heard of such a thing?!), you’re familiar with the luggage dance.  The last thing you want to do at the airport is shell out additional dough for checking a bag that’s overweight, so you break out the bathroom [...]

    Wednesday, June 5, 2013

    Oh, Snap! The Highline

    Tuesday, June 4, 2013

    Trendy Tuesdays is about to get a whole lot trendier, my friends.  Walking down the Highline the other day snapping photos for the blog, I was getting annoyed at all the random people that would pop into my shots.  And then, like a glittering disco ball falling from the ceiling, it hit me that the [...]

    UYC’s Walks: Upper East Side

    Monday, June 3, 2013

    In order to know NYC, you have to stay above ground and walk its streets.  Save a swipe of your Metrocard, and walk it!  Heck with those street bike shares, this costs you nothing and is far safer.  You never know what lies around the corner or in front of you. I walk everywhere when [...]

Airport Naps Just Got A Lot More Comfortable

My latest jet-setting adventure left me with an airport story that was 10 hours longer than it should have been…the kind every traveler cringes to hear, because they can, no doubt, relate.  Visualize this: we’re sitting on the runway of LaGuardia, about to take off and running pleasantly on schedule.  As the plane picks up [...]

UYC’s Guide: 5 Ways To See NYC Theater For Free

I learned early on in my life as a New Yorker that if I wanted to see theater on more-than-an-occasional-basis, I was going to have to get a little creative.  Sure, there’s tons of free shows performed outside during the summer, but what about the rest of the year?     After poking around a [...]
