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.
As I mentioned in a previous #TBT post about Alcatraz, we made a stop in Los Angeles while driving from San Francisco to San Diego back in February. It was a quick visit for sure: we only had one full day in LA! When planning how we'd conquer the City of Angeles, we decided that the Hollywood Sign hike … Continue reading Travel Diaries: All the Way Up (@ Runyan Canyon)

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
I'll tell you what: I LOVE seeing this pair of striped Zara pants hanging in my closet! They add a serious pop of color to my fall wardrobe. Aside from the color scheme, they're also incredibly light and comfy! I literally couldn't bear the thought of taking them off. I was going for all around … Continue reading SoHo & Stripes
For this edition of Devin's "25 bars before turning 25" excursion, we stayed in Williamsburg and posted up for a majority of the day at Union Pool. I know what you'll think if you check out the website, but I bid you: do not be fooled by this Brooklyn spot's grungy appearance. While the inside is … Continue reading NOT a swimming pool
