Ahh Fridays. Fridays are great. Most people are in a good mood, the office gets antsy around 4 pm, and you don't care much about anything except going out and starting your weekend. I get it. You don't have time for me. Well guess what? I don't have time for […]

Thirsty Thursdays!
Ok. Not exactly the most original idea, I know, but it's fitting and it's a little insight into my life. On Thursdays you can usually find me at a restaurant or bar tying one on. I'm not ashamed to say it – I like drinking; not to the point of blackout […]
Happy Hump Day!
From now on, Wednesdays will be all about celebrating Hump Day. No, not THAT kind of Hump Day, you pervs – just a nod to the middle of the week, the first day that's socially acceptable to go out drinking, and two days before good ol' Friday. Where am I […]

Happy Friday!
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood! I'm heading out for a Restaurant Week dinner (yes it was extended as per the usual) at Tanuki Tavern and then probably drinks somewhere. Perhaps the Gansevoort? Ooo fancy. I will stand at the top and throw $100 bills off the rooftop. Which […]
