A ton of people have been reaching out to me on Instagram recently asking for these suggestions! Certainly appropriate for the holidays since they are big on tourism (let’s not forget the giant tree in the middle of Rock Center), and they’re both “centers”, which is fun. Not going to […]

That Time I Interned for Howard Stern
The moment you’ve all been waiting for. The Howard Stern Intern story. I brought this up on my post a few weeks ago about working for Pfizer, and the demand was high. Please note this was 14 years ago and the photos were taken on a Sony CyberShot. Enjoy. “Just […]
Pantry Pasta – Spaghetti w/Garlic, Olive Oil & Tomato Paste
I make this pasta all the time. To the point where people ask if I make anything else to share on my Instagram stories. In my defense, it’s just so damn easy. It’s essentially the Garlic/Olive Oil pasta from the movie Chef, which I’ve posted already a while ago, but […]
That Time I Worked for Pfizer (and Started This Blog)
Many people ask me how I started this blog and why, and I don’t think I’ve ever actually discussed it. If I did, I sure as shit don’t remember, so might as well talk about it now while it’s top of mind. Lest I forget again in a few minutes. […]
The Blindsided Breakup Story
Breakup books above linked at the end of this post, some of which are affiliate links, FYI. I gain a tiny commission if any purchases are made through said links, which helps prevent me from moving back into my mom’s basement. I’ve been holding off on writing this for a […]
Leaving @skinnypignyc and Being @darapollak
This is one of those moments that feels very self-indulgent and dramatic, but then I stop and think: aren’t all bloggers a little self-indulgent and dramatic? I have been toying with the idea of changing my handle to just my name for literally over a year now, and there’s a […]
#NeverForget: A Message Dedicated to New York City
I’m a New Yorker. I know what “brick” means. I know that a bacon egg & cheese should be on a roll and not a bagel. And I know there’s a difference between “the city” and every other borough. These are silly examples, obviously, and there are many real things […]
Naxos, Greece 2021: Where I Stayed, Where I Ate (and Partied)
If you read my post on Paros, you’ll know that this was my first time in Naxos. I feel weird calling these posts a “travel guide” when I’ve only visited once, ya know? Feels like not nearly enough visits to call myself an expert. So instead, I’m saying “here’s what […]
Paros, Greece 2021: Where I Stayed, Where I Ate (and Partied)
It’s taken me a minute to actually get to this post, so for anyone reading this, thank you for your patience! Greece is one of my favorite places to visit, but this was my first time in Paros (and Naxos), so this isn’t so much my “recommendations” as much as […]
Traveling to Greece During Covid: What To Know (August 2021)
Hi guys! Before we get to the fun parts of my trip, a lot of people asked about the flying process and what the restrictions were like on the islands. Evidently a lot of you have planned trips to Greece, so here’s a bit about that, as well as my […]
