I usually don't eat too much ice cream, but when it comes soft-serve style and in a fish shaped waffle cone filled with red bean paste, I can reconsider. Meet Taiyaki. It's a Chinatown gem that's bringing the Japanese treat "taiyaki" to the streets of New York. It's recognizable by it's freshly baked fish-shaped ice … Continue reading Taiyaki Takeover
MDW is just about here, and that means summer is upon us! FINALLY!! I know it doesn't look or feel like summer this week, but we can overlook that small detail. We'll get there. I am so looking forward to NYC rooftops (Azul on the Roof is finally OPEN!), beach trips, Fourth of July in … Continue reading Bathing Suits on a Budget
Does anyone else think of the word "Gangnam", as in the song "Gangnam Style" by Psy, anytime they see the word "gingham"? Nope, just me. I thought so. I've never been a huge fan of patterns, but I'm loving the gingham trend for spring! Zara has some AMAZING gingham pieces out right now (planning to do some … Continue reading Gingham Style
Hey ya'll! Yikes, that feels so weird to say. Let me rephrase: hey GUYS! I'm so disappointed that it has taken me SO long to write this post! If you've been following along with me on Instagram (if we're not connected, let's change that!) you probably noticed that I meant to finish this post on … Continue reading Travel Diaries: A weekend in Savannah
I love a good dumpling. Any kind, really. Steamed, fried, chicken, pork, shrimp: you name it, I'll happily eat it. Ben and I were down in Chinatown a few days ago to take a specific picture from the Manhattan Bridge walkway. We decided that while we were down there, we might as well pop into … Continue reading Dana Digs Dumplings Vol. 2
I have a problem. A warm, cheesy, doughy, saucy, big, fat, delicious problem. I'm addicted to pizza (proof, more proof, EVEN MORE PROOF). Horrible for my figure, but good for you! If you also suffer from this addiction, look no further as I have another pizza joint for you to add to your NYC itinerary. … Continue reading RPOTW: Rubirosa
I've never really been a skirt kind of girl. I went through that awful black bandaged mini skirt with sky high Steve Madden pumps phase (Ew, I know) back in my high school and early college days, but I've never had a love affair with skirts. I can't tell you how many times I've added … Continue reading Skirting around

Salud means cheers, which we all know. It's also another way of saying 'gesundheit'. The best definition of 'Salud', however, is the tiny, aesthetically pleasing, incredibly healthy and organic juice shop / Latin American restaurant in SoHo. Sounds like an odd combination, right? Well, wrong. I paid this family owned joint a visit this weekend and … Continue reading Salud!
I cannot stop raving about how beautiful this weekend was. FINALLY. Even though this winter has been relatively mild, I'm ready to welcome warm temperatures with open arms! (And say goodbye to the snow, ugh) It was so nice to ditch my heavy down jacket for ripped jeans and a tunic. I was so excited … Continue reading Flower Power
