You will find more New Yorkers at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade than you will at the NYE Times Square ball drop…but that’s not saying much. If you are in NYC for Thanksgiving and make a list of pros and cons for actually attending the parade…you’ll end up staying home in your pajamas. That’s 100% my plan this year!
New York actors: we are so eager to perform, so ardent to get on a stage. Give us a space, any space, and an audience, and we will rock the hell out of it. Even if that space is 39 degrees and the back drop barrels upon barrels of alcohol.
Last Monday night, we got drunk at New York Distilling Company. In the room where the magic of distilling process takes place (and thus has no heating), Random Access Theatre Company made theatre magic with a Drunk Restoration Comedy reading of:
“Shut up! Shut up!”
Originally written Thanksgiving 2011 but the feelings of betrayal haven’t faded!
I vividly remember the day I realized Santa Claus didn’t exist. I did not handle it well. A wave of tears followed that lasted nearly the entire walk home from third grade. The Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy crumpled simultaneously. It was all or nothing. Or so I thought.
Thanksgiving is a rare holiday that has remained (relatively) unadulterated by Hallmark. It’s no secret who slaves over a hot stove preparing a dinner all about people coming together and sharing food and love. And giving thanks. There’s no culturally formulated magical Native American or pilgrim children are made to believe in. That’s part of the beauty of the holiday.

These three walls at the intersection of Lafayette and Broome in Soho are rotating canvases. There’s always amazing work on each of them, creating a corner street art trifecta you can count on.
Here’s what’s up currently…no knowing how long it’ll last in the high turnover rate of street art.
Next time my boyfriend implies I take too long getting ready, I’m showing him this:
This was the Rockefeller Christmas Tree on Sunday November 12th. This beauty’s won’t be lit for 2.5 weeks (November 29th) but hey, she’s arrived! And putting more effort into getting ready then I did for all my single dating days combined! Read More
Sometimes I look at a well groomed pup walking the streets of Brooklyn and instead of thinking “How cute! I want one!” I think “You’re quality of life is better than the majority of the world’s human population. That’s fucked up.”
The season for stuffing your face is practically upon us! November is half over and Thanksgiving is a week away: time flies cliché. I don’t know about you, but ever since the recent cold snap, comfort food has been calling my name. It called me straight into a cozy café in Tribeca, where I was greeted by the most decadent celebration of carbs imaginable.
If you’re gluten-intolerant you might want to skip this post…sorry! You can read this one all about Brooklyn’s best chocolate instead!
Maison Kayser is an authentic artisanal French Boulangerie that has taken NYC by storm in the past 5 years. You see, if New Yorkers chose to indulge in bread, we only want the best. And Maison Kayser is just that.
