Downtown Giants Youth Football League
When we lived in Madison, WI, my now 12 year old had discovered his love for football. Strangely enough, he, like his Dad, doesn’t follow football on television or sports magazines, but he loves playing the game. When the decision came about to move to New York City, my son had only one request: that [...]
107 West: American Fare, Light & Easy
107 West is a cozy little restaurant tucked away into a non-descript row of store-fronts as eclectic as they are expected on the block of 187th Street at Fort Washington Street in the Hudson Heights/Inwood Section of upper Manhattan. It is the one of two 107 West locations, the original is actually located at 107th [...]
WordCampNYC 2009 Is My First WordCamp
WordCampNYC was last weekend. It was held at Baruch College – William and Anita Newman Vertical Campus. I had no expectations since it was my first WordCamp. I have to say that I was very pleased. The Conference was broken up into eight tracks (or sessions). I attended the Blogger Track. There were a great [...]
The Forbes Galleries – Hidden Treasure in the Village
An overlooked gem of a museum is The Forbes Galleries on lower Fifth Avenue. It’s easy to maneuver, takes little time and there is something for everyone, no matter the age. Best of all, it’s free. What makes it different from other museums is that it is personal collection of the Forbes family. Malcom Forbes [...]
Rockefeller Center Welcomes Lionel Trains for The Holidays
As the Holiday season slowly begins to fill the air with excitement and anticipation, little surprises, filled with traditions, start popping up here and there to help you prepare for the gift giving season. One of those surprises can be found in Rockefeller Center. From now through January 5, Rockefeller Center will be host to [...]
Nectar: Harlem’s Wine Bar Destination
Harlem is home to Nectar, a wonderfully sublime and sexy wine bar tucked away into the edifice of a new apartment building on Frederick Douglas Boulevard at the corner of 121st Street. By day it is a clean and open, almost reminiscent of gallery space, clearly visible from the street. But after sunset it takes [...]
Calling All Little Athletes to Chelsea Piers!
Chelsea Piers is without a doubt one of Manhattan’s finest sports and fitness centers. Located on 23rd St, overlooking the Hudson, this amazing facility is a wonderland for everything wellness, fitness, and sports related, from golfing, to bowling, to providing a spa experience. For most New Yorkers, the prices of some of their activities may [...]
Mangia e Bevi: Sing, Dance, Mangia
This past weekend my girlfriends and I headed out (in the rain) for our friend’s birthday to what on the outside appeared to be just a small Italian restaurant. The restaurant, Mangia e Bevi, (which means Eat and Drink) is located in the Theater District on the corner of West 53rd and 9th Ave. When [...]
Central Park: A Touch of Nature In The Big City
As a born and bred Manhattanite, I get a lot of pitiful looks from people who grew up in rural and suburban places. They ask me if I didn’t feel deprived of nature having grown up in this concrete jungle of mine, and always say, “No way!” While Central Park isn’t exactly Yosemite National Park, [...]
NYC Halloween Fun For You And The Kids
Before I was a mommy, I shamelessly used my Godchildren to live vicariously through during the holidays. I’d lie and say I was just excited for the children, but deep down inside I was happy that I got to get dressed up in a Halloween costume, or that I was walking over to the Christmas Tree [...]
