Let’s recap Good Night, Oscar’s star-studded opening night

I survived a close encounter of the Jason Bateman kind last Monday at the opening night of Good Night, Oscar on Broadway.

Self-Love is in the air

If the month of February had a color palette, I think we can all agree it’d be 50 shades of red…the color of love.

Breaking my blogging drought

Happy New Year! Hard to believe it’s already February, and I’m just now sitting down to reflect on my 2022. It’s my own fault, of course…there’s always something happening somewhere in NYC, and it’s hard not to get caught up in the constant FOMO of it all. So this year, one of my goals is…

Seven years ago this week, I was here in NYC on vacation and knocking so many firsts off my bucket list — devouring the famous cronut, witnessing my first real snowfall, enjoying NYC pizza, seeing my first Broadway shows and attending my first TV talk show tapings.

‘Tis the season to binge a season

You made it through the work week – and to quote ‘NSYNC quoting Johnny Kemp, “Just got paid, it’s Friday night.” Since we’re spending almost all of our time at home, there’s really nowhere to go waste away your paycheck…So, where are you spending your weekend?
