I'm sure you've all heard of Barry's Bootcamp! Each of these famous workouts features a combination of guided treadmill running and weight lifting exercises. Last week I tried it for the first time ever! Finally! Michelle, Brittany and I headed to the Chelsea location for a 9 PM ass whooping by Justin Meli. I aim … Continue reading Butt Whooping by Barry’s
Happy Tuesday, everybody! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are currently having a nice start to the week. I ended up taking a break from the hustle and bustle of city life this weekend and it was incredibly refreshing. Friday evening we packed up the car and headed to the Firefox Mountain … Continue reading Foxfire Mountain House
I've wanted to check out Vandal for a while now and since we were in the area, it was a perfect opportunity to give it a shot! Check out these pictures! I've never seen a space that looks like this! It's all inspired by street-art culture and the owners (same as the Tao Group) truly captured … Continue reading Brunch at Vandal
Greetings from Canada! Ben and I journeyed up across the northern border yesterday for a long weekend in Montreal (blog posts coming soon!) I just wanted to share this really cool spot with you guys. We stopped at the Phoenicia Diner on the drive up and while it was slightly out of the way, it … Continue reading Phoenicia Diner and Why You Should Go
Well maybe you do, but I usually do not. Chocolate, cookies, brownies, cake: count me in! Ice cream's simply just the one sweet treat I've never been able to completely indulge in. That being said, I'm always down to give it a try-- especially if it looks like this cone from Morgenstern's Finest Ice Cream! … Continue reading We all scream for ice cream! (Morgenstern’s)
Last night Ben got his first taste of Parm! I've actually been there before (the Upper West Side location), but last night we went to the Parm on Mulberry Street in Nolita. Chicken parm hero lovers of the world, you NEED to head to Parm to get your cheesey chicken parm fix! They also have … Continue reading Parm Perfection
Finally made it down to see the finished World Trade Center Oculus! I haven't been down to this area in months and the last time I saw it, Santiago Calatrava's strange, rib-cage like structure was still under construction. Beneath the white "bird in flight" exterior is a huge open space lined with stores from H&M … Continue reading Oculus
The ambiance of Sotto 13 alone should be enough to get this West Village pizza haven on your radar. Thankfully, the food and wine selection are AMAZING as well! Tucked away on 13th street, Sotto 13 looks like a cozy little restaurant with outdoor seating, a bar and a few high top tables; however, venture … Continue reading Satisfied at Sotto 13
I've actually never made it down to New York City's historic Stone Street. Part of me has always felt that it's just SO far out of the way being that it's incredibly far downtown. Now that I've actually seen it for myself, I understand why people like it so much! How cute is this place?! … Continue reading Stone Street on Sunday
Finally got my hands on some DŌ cookie dough! This stuff is magical, but definitely best in small doses since it is ridiculously sweet. And one small container is enough for two people (Naturally, Ben and I each got our own). I ended up getting the cake batter flavor and Ben got the classic chocolate chip. Both … Continue reading Cookie DŌ-light
