Who’s Saying What At The Happy Ending Lounge
Let me tell you a story, about some storytellers, telling their story, down in the Bowery. I heard about the “How I Learned” series and had to check it out for myself. I mean, how else can I tell you about it, right? Alright, so it all happens at the Happy Ending Lounge on Broome [...]
A Devilish Good Time In Queens
Upon walking in The Laughing Devil Comedy Club you’re greeted by a bar with a row of 14 taps ready to pour you a pint of your favorite import, craft or classic draft beer. I love beer, so yeah…great start! Oh, food…get the chicken tenders and tots. I love tots, too — but enough about [...]

Where To Get Your Christmas Caroling On In NYC
I was walking my chihuahua down 5th Avenue this weekend and unexpectedly came across a group of carolers. Best treat EVER! No lie, we stopped in our tracks, plopped on a bench and spent the next hour listening to renditions of Jingle Bells and Come All Ye Faithful. Although the chihuahua was chilly, he enjoyed [...]
The No Tell Boatel
Having lived for decades in full throttle, also known as the island of Manhattan, the Far Rockaways have been my sanctuary to refuel for many years. Manhattan requires energy, patience and very much of all that, this, and the other. Through friends I discovered the Boatel located at Marina 59 in Jamaica Bay, Queens. Only [...]
A Room With A View: Hanging Out In The Elevated Living Room In Columbus Circle
A few months ago I noticed that the Christopher Columbus statue at Columbus Circle was being taken over by layers of scaffolding. Figuring it was either another one of NYC’s construction projects or that Chris really needed a bath, I didn’t think much of it until I read an article about an elevated living room being [...]

Summertime Soiree With Affairs Afloat
As any New Yorker who doesn’t live in Brooklyn or Staten Island knows, hosting a summertime soiree with some of your favorite friends can be next to impossible given the tiny space constraints of our apartments. That’s why I was thrilled to hear about Affairs Afloat, a floating party boat that makes the perfect venue [...]
Gone Fishin’: Free Family Fun At Pier 25
As a Manhattanite I’ve always been fascinated and jealous of people on boats or fishing off piers – wondering what all the excitement was about. I have annual families of foreign or domestic guests in search of something new and together we discovered Big City Fishing. We went to Pier 25 today in the Tribeca [...]
