Recommended Deal: Sleep No More and a 3 Course Dinner at the Heath for $185
If you haven’t experienced the immersive theater production that is Sleep No More in NYC, now is your best chance. For those unfamiliar, Sleep No More is a loosely-interpreted adaptation of Macbeth with a big twist: rather than sitting in your seat and watching actors perform on a stage, the “stage” is actually an entire …
Valentine’s Day 2014: Love, Leopard Print, and Lobster Paella
I don’t want to go into much detail about how my Valentine’s Day went since that’s a bit personal, but I was incredibly happy to be surprised by my boyfriend with a date at the New York Botanical Garden’s Tropical Paradise exhibit followed by dinner at one of my favorites tapas spots in the city, Boqueria. From …
Friday Five: #SpringBreakForever
In case it hasn’t been clear by the amount I’ve been complaining, this snowy NYC winter has me down. I’ve been perpetually sick physically and am also just sick of climbing over/around ice and getting smacked in the face with snow. And so I’ve been longing for warm weather. While no trips have been booked …
Brussels Sprouts and Bacon Hash Browns
As unbelievably sick and tired as I am of this terrible weather, another snowstorm = another day working from home = another opportunity to get creative with my breakfast. As you may have already guessed from one of my previous recipes, I’m a big fan of brussels sprouts. On a recent grocery trip, I ended …
Healthy Quinoa Fried “Rice” with Fried Egg and Avocado
I am a total sucker for fried rice. Yes, your standard fried rice from the Chinese takeout spot is a total carbo-loaded, oil soaked, sodium-heavy gut bomb, but damn, is it good. So while I will happily eat an entire carton of pork fried rice, I still try to opt for healthier versions every once …
Esquites – Cafe Habana & La Esquina Style Mexican Grilled Corn Salad with Avocado
One of my favorite things to eat is the grilled corn on the cob, or elotes, from La Esquina and Cafe Habana in the Nolita neighborhood of NYC. The basic recipe is quite simple: fresh corn on the cob charred on the grill, coated with a mixture of mayonnaise and crema (Mexican sour cream), cotija cheese, …
I Woke Up Like This – My New Favorite Sweatshirt and Dainty Floral Dress
I’d like to introduce you to my new favorite sweatshirt. While I certainly am not Beyonce yet, nor am I flawless, I can at least pretend I am when I’m wearing this. It’s warm, cozy, and incredibly soft on the inside made from 100% ringspun cotton. But best of all, sweatshirts are totally acceptable to wear …
Go for the Gold: High-Tops, Headphones, & Statement Accessories in My Favorite Metallic
While the upcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi aren’t looking so pretty, the athletes participating will still be competing for that hunk of metal of their neck, which is inspiring this Friday Five. I wanted to highlight one of my favorite things in the world: the color gold. I loooove gold. I wear it on …
Kale and Ricotta Breakfast Pizza
As it’s currently a wintry mess in NYC, I am working from home to avoid having to walk through all the slush. The beauty of working from home, aside from being able to stay in your PJs, is definitely better food options (No work cafeteria! No having to eat the same boring soup or pay …
