So you decided to end your relationship. You want to do it in person, and not be a douchebag ghost. Bravo! But breaking up is hard, especially in a city with as little privacy as NYC. Where do you have this conversation with your soon-to-be Ex? Anywhere but here:
The museums of New York City are renown all over the world. Tally the number of museums, galleries, exhibits and you’ll find the figure somewhere in the hundreds. We have plenty devoted to art, a couple for New York City, a Museum of the Moving Image, there’s even a Museum of Sex and a Morbid Anatomy Museum. So what’s missing?
Did you say an exhibit dedicated to my favorite beach read of 2012? A gallery exclusively for a young adult trilogy that’s better than Twilight?
Well folks, for just $5 more than the Met’s suggested donation (but $2 less than One World Trade Observatory!) you can can visit the brand new…
Imagine a world where pedestrians rule the city streets. Where no one has cars and bicycles ride supreme.
The NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) brings such a world to life. For the first 3 Saturday mornings in August vehicles are banished from a huge stretch of street right in the middle of Manhattan. It’s pretty amazing!
From 72nd Street all the way down to Foley Square by City Hall, Park Avenue is an exclusive NO CARS ALLOWED recreation club. Read More
ONE WISH
I threw a penny in Bethesda Fountain and made a wish.
I wished I was a better blogger.
I held the penny in my hand and imagined waking up at 7AM every morning, fresh and ready to write. Sitting at my desk with fresh coffee in an instagram-worthy mug, my mind uninhibited by doubts. Free and open, creative juices flowing. Inspiration, humor, and wit flow from my fingers like water from the open fire hydrant on the corner of my street in Harlem. Metaphors too, obviously. I’d whip up engaging posts in a mere hour, I’d even proof read! Read More
I just got back from a week on the beaches of Cape May, New Jersey. While the experience is still as fresh in my mind as the sand lining my tote bag, you need to throw your bathing suit into a bag and run away to the Jersey Shore ASAP. (I mean, I’ll probably convince you right off with #1, but I’ll give you 15 more anyway!)
1) BEAUTIFUL BEACH! You can actually swim without kicking four people in the face! The beach is so clean you can’t even find sea glass!
There are just some things you can’t do in New York City. Like pick juicy, ripe cherries right off the tree and plop them in a bucket (or directly in your mouth, shhh don’t tell the farmer!). We can’t do that in NYC! It’s not fair!
And that’s why we have New Jersey! Leave it to the Garden State to supply such a summer delight. Read More
It was two weeks before my birthday when I realized: the last time I went out dancing was the 7AM Daybreaker party. This was unacceptable and my birthday was the perfect chance to rectify the situation. The last birthday of my twenties, my last birthday on a weekend for the near future, this was a go-big-or-go-home state of affairs! That’s when I discovered the night I turned 29 coincided with the “World’s Premier Dance Cruise “. That’s the ticket!
Bounce Boat is this “World’s Premier Dance Cruise” and they’re not kidding with that title. Read More
