Party like you’re lost in Wonderland! Yes, I did. That is party like I was lost in Wonderland. I attended The Mad Hatter and Gin Party which is located at 330 Madison Avenue. As part of this party in Wonderland I got to experience a menu of tantalizing tea party cocktails (I opted for the…
I got to celebrate the holiday season by getting up to Mount Hope Mansion which is located in New Hope, Pennsylvania for their annual Holiday Dinner Theater. When you enter the Victorian Mount Hope Mansion you’re embraced by the sounds of merry caroling and festive decorations. Then we got to enjoy a 3 course dinner.…
I love my neighborhood. It has so many great places to eat. But I just found another gem at 18th Street and 2nd Avenue called Posto Thin Crust Pizza. Posto is a no frills kind of place and was founded by Antonio Gomez with friend and business partner Jonathan Tweedy. The restaurant quickly grew a…
I found this interesting event online. Not only can you learn more about Spain now that traveling is getting easier but you can also prepare yourself for a trip to Spain by tasting their food and their wines. You can watch their live cooking demos and there will even be a live art installation. So…
The other night I met a neighborhood friend at Yama, a Japanese sushi restaurant in Gramercy Park. This is the go to spot for Japanese food in this area and it’s located at 122 E. 17th Street which is at the corner of 17th Street and Irving Place. The space is kind of underground with…
So the other week, my girlfriend said, “Let’s do something special!” Let’s go somewhere that we never heard of.” So I said, “Sure-sounds, good! You pick. So my girlfriend picked the restaurant One if by Land, Two if by Sea which is located at 17 Barrow Street which is part of the West Village. Yes,…
Let’s face it. We all have our very own relationship with food. For some of us it’s a non-issue and for some of us it’s an issue. It can go either way dependent. Nonetheless, I was thrilled to learn about a new immersive exploration of a play titled This Is Eating Me _______. This Is…
I just attended live and in person the 2021 Event Planner Expo which was held at the Metropolitan Pavilion located at 125 West 18th Street. It felt kind of surreal to be in this large space with a lot of people given what New York City went through and is still going through due to…
It was time to head out of Dodge this past weekend and so I took an adventure to Williamsport, Pennsylvania and then headed to Pennsylvania’s Grand Canyon. On the first day of this overnight adventure we went to Williamsport. Williamsport is a very quiet, almost eerie type of town where there wasn’t a soul on…
It was my girlfriend’s birthday and I wanted to do something special for her since we know each other for decades. So I met her at Grand Central Terminal, and took the Metro North line to Cold Spring. Such a quiet, quaint and lovely town along the Hudson. And a lovely lunch at Hudson House…
I met a group of folks at the restaurant Beauty & Essex which is located at 146 Essex Street on the Lower East Side. When you first walk in there is vintage jewelry and musical instruments to be purchased before you enter the main dining area. Then you walk through this door and you see…
So I met a group of friends for dinner at Cathedrale, a wonderful restaurant which is not too far from where I live at 112 East 11th Street. I loved the spaciousness of the restaurant (think cathedral ceilings) and the food was French-Mediterranean cuisine that for me painted a picture of the coastal cuisine of…
So it was time to head out of Dodge and I took a day bus trip to Hellertown, Pennsylvania and Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. In Hellertown, Pennsylvania we visitied the Lost River Caverns, nature’s underground wonderland. There was a guided walking tour but I must admit that I’m not a cave fan and so I didn’t…
OK. So the other day, I got really brave and entered New Beauty Magazine’s contest called Fab over 40. I really thought long and hard about it but then I said to myself, “Sora, if not now-then when” and filled out the form online and submitted some photos I let it go and then I…
I took the Metro North to Hastings-on- Hudson to meet a few friends to eat at a wonderful restaurant called Harvest on Hudson. Here is some of the scenery as I walked from the train to the Restaurant which is located at 1 River St, Hastings-on-Hudson. Here’s the front of the restaurant. Here is the…
