Ever since visiting Hawaii I have become obsessed with poke. Lucky for me, the poke craze has rolled over the mainland and I can get a little slice of Aloha in a lot of places around New York City. Although Hawaiian poke is different – usually in a deli and […]

Food courts are great for groups with different tastes or people trying to taste a lot of different dishes in a short amount of time. There are plenty to choose from in New York City, if you’ve already been to the popular Chelsea Market – why not try a different […]
Sometimes I crave poptarts. Is it the actual food I want or the feeling? I’ll walk down the aisles of the grocery store and long for simpler days where I didn’t scan ingredients for devious components and all there was to do on a weekend morning was watch cartoons. How […]
Whether you view it as art, history, or both – the Poster Museum [122 Chambers St, New York, NY 10007] is sure to wow you. Philip Williams has been collecting since the 70s and the gallery is jam packed with international vintage posters – only a fraction of the 500,000+ artifacts […]
If you’re a crazy cat person like myself, you’ve probably heard of cat cafés and dreamed of visiting one. The concept was created in Japan, but countries around the world weren’t about to sit around with cat like jealousy simply looking on at this purrfect idea. They are sprouting up […]
There used to be plenty of pinball arcades in Manhattan, but now only one remains. Luckily for those who love the game, Modern Pinball [362 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10016] is a pretty amazing spot to be left with. It’s an unlimited play so no matter what your skill […]
I do not deny my desire to devour all the donuts of the world, and at Doughnut Plant they are so darn delicious. There are multiple locations to choose from depending on which side of the world you happen to wander, from Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens to Tokyo or Seoul. […]
Searching for severely scrumptious sweets in Soho? Look no further than Dominique Ansel Bakery [189 Spring St, New York, NY 10012] where the pastries look as good as they taste. Hop on line and try to decide what you are going to get, no easy task. This joint is known […]
To take something old and discarded and breathe new life into it is no easy task, but a labor of love. That is what happened at the High Line Park in NYC, opened since 2009, which quickly became a top attraction. The elevated rail track was built in the 1930s […]
Walk into this little Soho establishment and you will enter a world different from your own where men and women are walking about in traditional garb and cultural references are abound. If you are looking for unique drink and food in NYC, Korchma Taras Bulba [357 W Broadway, New York, […]
Another NYC bucket list item can be officially crossed out; I made it to the top of the Empire State Building! Tickets prices are steep at $32 a person, but for me this was a once in a lifetime deal so I splurged. I was so nervous that the whole […]
I grew up living less than 30 minutes away from NYC, a city that people travel from all world to see, and I had never been to Central Park. Wow, I took my location for granted. Well, I made an effort to change that recently, and spent a good amount […]
NYC’s Chinatown is as authentic as it gets, and you can have all sorts of fun spending an afternoon here soaking in the local flavor. If you’re planning on having lunch don’t miss out on Prosperity Dumpling [46 Eldridge St, New York, NY 10002], a true hole in the wall. […]
I was in Manhattan after seeing a play and hungry. It is a goal of mine to become more familiarized with the city and this day was a good start. Hell’s Kitchen has a lot of great options, and we settled on trying some Peruvian cuisine at Pio Pio (604 […]
Have you ever been to the Museum of Natural History in the city? There are so many different museums in Manhattan, but this is certainly one of the most well known and elaborate ones of them all. If you enter through the subway you begin your journey with a beautiful […]
