I will straight-up admit that when I visit other cities, I love to do touristy things. Why? Because I am a tourist and I believe there is nothing wrong with seeing what a city has to offer, and snapping photos of it. That being said, I do get annoyed when Swedish tourists stop in the middle of the sidewalk to take a photo of the freedom tower with their iPad which is encased in a plastic hardcover shell...

When it seems like nothing positive can be found amidst Sandy‘s aftermath, photos like these remind you otherwise. Sandy proved to be a huge bonding experience for everyone affected. It brought out people’s generosity, their willingness to come together as a community, and even allowed President Obama and Republican Chris Christie to transcend political lines in this time of need right...

Ever been to a show during fashion week and felt left out because you weren’t wearing mismatched pajamas from a dirty Wal-Mart in the middle of Florida in 1997? I have. Yesterday. I am so so sorry, but the Boy Meets Girl “Forever Young” show made me question what the world is becoming. The collection was aptly named “Forever Young” I suppose, because it was clearly refer...

Venus in Fur, by David Ives is mentally stimulating, erotically charged, and brash in it’s subtletly. It is a thrill ride of innuendo, secret meanings and obvious temptations that keeps the audience wondering the entire time, just how the story will end. The plot revolves around a down-on her luck actress played by Nina Arianda, auditioning for the lead role in a play titled Venus in Fur, that ... More...

My friend Lindsay recently gchatted me with the question, “when did you know you were a REAL New Yorker?” I had to step back and think about it for a moment, because even though I moved back to NY after years in Florida by the time I was 19, I don’t think I had accepted myself as a New Yorker until two things happened. 1) I could take a thirty minute walk down Lexington Avenu...

1. Even the homeless people are more ambitious here. 2. The calorie count is posted on every single fast food menu in NYC, so you’re too guilty to get mega big. 3. Even the pigeons dine on world-class ethnic food. 4. You can go directly from work to dinner, dinner to drinks, drinks to the club, the club to the diner, the diner to the gym, and then repeat the whole cycle… without anyon... More...

Theater Spotting: Sister Act – A Divine Musical Comedy
The original Sister Act movie is one of those that you can watch again and again without getting bored, so my concern about seeing the play live involved whether or not it would live up to its counterpart film.
Anybody that was alive in the 90′s remembers Sister Act as a classic movie, and probably has all the songs memorized, able to sing them with their voice tied behind their back. Those people cringed when Sister Mary Patrick belted out a high note and cheered when Sister Mary Roberts finally sang above a whisper. Perhaps they even rolled their eyes when the Mother Superior gave Sister Mary ... More...
