Yellow Fever Madness
John and I are planning a trip to Brazil in November and investigating various options for a trip into the Amazon (I know!!). One of the main things that we have to do one month in advance is to get a Yellow Fever shot (and also take Malaria tablets while we’re there), but the key … Continue reading
The dinner that was All The Best…
Over the past couple of months I have been lucky enough to get to know Ronda Carman, the founder of All The Best Blog. After initially meeting at a blog-convention in the city more than a year ago, I was blown away when she emailed me a ‘nice to meet’ note before the PR girl … Continue reading
Riding New Jersey
The biggest thing we did for ourselves this past summer was to invest in some seriously cool bicycles. Mine was an anniversary gift from John and I have to say that this trumps pearls any day! John has been taking his bike to work almost every day and we’ve gotten into the habit of taking … Continue reading
Stinky Trees in the city

B-list Brunch
Yesterday, after running 10 miles (Yes, I did it!), I met my friend Justin for brunch at Cookshop, a new trendy restaurant on 20th Street and 10th Avenue, thinking that we would have a mimosa and brunch and then go for a walk on the new Highline Park that has just opened. Now, one thing … Continue reading
Summer in the city
I realize that it’s been a while since my last post, and I also realize that it’s probably not the best way to go to start the whole blogging process again with a rant about the heat, but the truth is that it is un-friggin-bearable in New York at the moment! Oh my word…it’s like … Continue reading
