New Yorker Moments
This week brought a lot of New York firsts: trying my first every knish, purchasing my first pack of (candy!) ciggys, and traveling down to Virginia to see my cousin get married! The latter was by far my favorite, and I was so happy to be able to share that special moment of being a [...]

Like the rest of New York, I’m still anxiously awaiting for spring to make an official appearance. Luckily, New York is a city that can be enjoyed just as much indoors as out. Here’s a few of my favorite (mostly) inside NY moments from this past week: {attending the blogger buzzmaker event for the [...]
New Yorker Moments: Le Petit Proposal In The Big Apple
January 11th, 2013. It started out like any other Friday. I snoozed my iPhone alarm the requisite 3 times, then got up to get ready for work. Only to find this handwritten note scrawled onto a piece of scrap paper and taped to the wall: Rolling my eyes, I thought nothing of it. [...]

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 [...]

Happy 2013! I hope your first few days have been a promising start to the new year. Here’s a few of my favorite moments from the holidays which were spent visiting family in Virginia and North Carolina, and ringing in the New Year with friends in Ocean City, New Jersey. Now that the festivities are [...]

The week before Christmas always feels a little chaotic…tacky Christmas sweater parties to attend, egg nog to be guzzled, and work projects to tie up before 2013 comes a ringing. With all the hustle and bustle, it’s also an important time of year to carve out time in your schedule for those who may be [...]

This week my childhood bestie came into town, so we decided to deck the halls and paint the town red…so red, in fact, I bid adieu to blonde Jess and went ginger for the duration of winter…talk about spicing things up! Here’s a few of my favorite stops along the way: What things do you [...]

As much as I dislike shivering from head to toe on my way to the subway, Thanksgiving to New Years is probably my favorite time of year in NYC. This may have something to do with the endless amounts of twinkle lights…or that my first childhood visit to the Big Apple was during the month [...]
New Yorker Moments: Discovering NYC’s Pleasant Pretty Pockets
Recently a new acquaintance asked me if I had lived in New York City all my life. I jokingly responded “not yet!” But it started me thinking that “to live” and “to reside” in NYC are two disparate verbs. I hope to reside in NYC for the remainder of my days, but there is just [...]

Like most New Yorkers this week, life was put on hold by a sassy little visitor we had named Sandy. Living in Midtown Manhattan, I felt extremely blessed not to experience the power outages, flooding, and epic tree crashes that many downtown and outer borough residents had to go through. My neighborhood was eerily quiet [...]
