This summer was a non-stop series of events, conferences, client projects, and busy days. I didn’t even make it to the beach, which–for me–is a big deal. With that said, I’m almost out of the woods, and in the last few weeks, I have been able to make a little time for myself. (And I’m […]
Loading View on Instagram All month long, I’ve been featuring some of my favorite places in New York City (Brooklyn especially). Be sure to click through the archives for more round-up posts. I’ve always loved fashion, but with a mother who is an expert on sale-shopping, I’ve also always felt compelled to look for good […]
This month, I’m rounding up some of my favorite things around my part of Brooklyn. Check back all month for new blog posts. As much as I love good food, I also love a good deal, so I’m always delighted to find restaurants that have both. Here are just a few that I like in my […]
This October, I’m rounding up some of my favorite things in my part of Brooklyn. Check back all month for new blog posts. One of the challenges of working remotely is that I don’t currently have an office space, and I find that if I work at home for too long, I start to get distracted […]
Yesterday, my friend Michelle and I checked out the Antiques Garage and then headed downtown. In my ten years of living in NYC, it was my first time going to this indoor flea market (I know, terrible!), and it was just as fantastic as I’d always imagined. We spotted vintage Oscar de la Renta, interesting […]
Thousands of tons of food scraps go into landfills each year in America. Here in NYC, it composes 17% of our waste stream. This is a total shame, considering that all of that organic material could go back into the earth to help us grow better trees, flowers, and food-growing plants. I’ve been composting for […]
In the last year, my body has changed quite a bit. I don’t like to say that I’ve “lost weight”, because it’s not really true. Through weight training, I actually haven’t lost much weight at all (maybe a pound or two), but I have slimmed down a size or two. This is definitely a good […]
I’m currently eating a Famous Kale Sandwich from O Cafe. It’s kind of a brilliant sandwich made with whole grain bread, olive tapenade on one side, goat cheese spread on the other, and lightly dressed kale in the middle. I say it’s brilliant because it’s got flavor (making it interesting to eat) and fiber (which […]
One of the big perks of working in the Union Square area is the greenmarket. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (plus the weekends), we have access to tons of local farmers, bakers, and other food producers. I don’t usually shop with a plan in mind, but I do try to pick things that I know […]
Last week, Taiwanese American Professionals (TAP) held a night market in Lower Manhattan. I was super-disappointed that tickets were already sold out by the time I heard about it, but I’m excited to see that there’s interest in Taiwan’s awesome tradition of night markets. I would LOVE to see American cities like NYC have these […]
