Crazy Friday Nights…

Make for lazy weekends.  This is a definite indicator of what it means to be single in your 30′s.  I had an impromptu dinner with a neighborhood friend that I haven’t connected with in a few months.  It was so great to see her and get caught up on each other’s lives.  The restaurant we [...]

On being single in Manhattan in your 30′s….

I was married in my twenties to a really great guy.  I was totally on the goal line to get married, have a few kids and live my awesome, exciting and abundant life.  Although I was on the way in many regards, I really wasn’t ready for that great guy; he probably wasnt the exact [...]

Food, Food and more Food

Halloween Weekend in NYC

Halloween is a great holiday. I’ve always loved it. I loved it when I was 8 years old dressing up as Superman and trick or treating, and I love it now dressing up with my boys and going to parties. Halloween is a chance for young children to eat lots of candy and get on [...]

there’s no place like NYC…

seriously! as you already know I am a little obsessed with this place and not in a misguided, unhealthy way, but more, how can there be so many fantastic things about one city?!  Last night I had the chance to see Lance Armstrong, Joan Benoit-Samuelson, Grete Waitz and Deena Kastor speak at the Times Talks [...]

Growing up in NYC

Let me begin by saying I am a native New Yorker. I was born and raised on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and lived in the same apartment building for 23 of the first 24 years of my life. I went to high school in the Bronx; not the Bronx that you are probably [...]
