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
That's the year the Brooklyn Bridge opened to the public. Some more fun facts for you: the project took 14 years and somewhere around $15 million dollars (at the time) to complete. Oddly enough, when this beauty opened, Brooklyn was its own city rather than a borough, which I definitely didn't know! This stunning NYC … Continue reading 1883.
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
I just wanted to quickly share some pictures of this really cool juice that I tried this week! I'm not sure where I first saw it, but it was love at first sight and I just knew I had to try one! Great idea, right? It's called the "Light Bulb Drink" and you can get … Continue reading I had an idea…
The "Sunday Scaries" were real yesterday! Just wanted to share some of my favorite pics from this gloomy weekend. I'm always looking for cool graffiti and street art to take pictures of (and with!) and we found some awesome murals in downtown Manhattan. We took these before heading into Alphabet City for some beer and … Continue reading A pop of color
Anybody who knows me knows I LOVE a good ass-kicking, crawl-your-way out of the gym workout. It goes without saying that New York is the best when it comes to finding new, unique classes where you can get your sweat on. Whether you're a yogi, a spinner, a runner or just an unclassified workout enthusiast, … Continue reading Unleashing Some ‘Rage’
And who doesn't? Mimi Cheng's dumplings are so good I swear they'll change the mind of any non-believer. Today we stopped in to this small east village joint for some delicious Taiwanese dumplings. They're made from scratch and you can watch the pros hard at work behind the counter, which I found super intriguing. Ben … Continue reading Dana Digs Dumplings
...that I was going to love Birds & Bubbles! Lie, they did not. April and I headed down to the Lower East Side today to nom on some fried chicken and biscuits. (Are you seeing a trend here? My insides are. They are not happy, but my tastebuds say otherwise.) Tucked away on the basement … Continue reading A little bird told me…
