Join History With A Bash On The Bowery!
When an invitation reads “…An evening of music, food, and libations”, my RSVP checked yes is returned in no time. Even better when the festivities are celebrating the oldest street in my favorite city in the world. On March 20th, 2013, join Two Bridges Neighborhood Council and Bowery Alliance of Neighbors at the Bowery Hotel [...]
The White Stallion Ranch: A Foodie Frontier
I’ve often been quoted as saying, “A vacation destination is only as good as its food.” Hence, even though my trip to The Land Of The Rising Sun was exotic and memorable, I didn’t have one enjoyable meal while I was there, taking it down a few notches in my book. In Japan’s defense, I [...]
UYC’s Guide: 5 Tips To Learn A Foreign Language
I’ve always loved the idea of speaking a foreign language. They mystery, the intrigue, not to mention the romance. The reality of it, however–long classes, repetitive flashcards, difficult conjugations–was less than appealing. That is until I met my foreign beau-turned-fiance from Bosnia. I’m all about merging the cultures, and what I clearly lack in the [...]
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.

Those of you that follow me on Instagram know that I’m a special kind of foodie. While I adore eating and photographing delicious and aesthetically gorgeous food, I fall short when it comes to actually creating dishes myself. When the opportunity arose to try out a new company that delivers food to your doorstep, complete [...]
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 [...]
New Yorker Moments
Happy Valentine’s Day, Readers! Cheesy as it sounds, V-Day has been my favorite holiday since the days of exchanging cards and candy hearts in elementary school. Don’t get me wrong, I whole heartedly believe (along with most of the rest of humanity), that we should celebrate the ones we love every day. But sometimes life [...]
A Taste Of NYC Fashion Week
UsedYorkCity was thrilled to be able to celebrate NYCFW with Bettie Page on the Bowery, where retro fashion is always timeless! Their throwback pieces to the 1950′s remind me of flipping through photos of my grandparents during their newlywed days, (minus the pink hair!) Unlike thrift store finds which are hit or miss depending on [...]
