I don’t know about you, but I STRUGGLE with cooking chicken, specifically chicken breast and chicken tenders. It’s just always so blah and dry, I’ve only successfully come up with a few recipes over the years and this happens to be one of them. First things first: if you don’t […]

Quit DMing Restaurants For Answers You Can Easily Google
Ok this is gonna be controversial, I can feel it. I already know what some of you will say, therefore I will address it right now and get it out of the way: I KNOW THAT SOME RESTAURANTS DON’T EVEN HAVE PHONES AND THE ONES THAT DO DON’T ALWAYS ANSWER […]
My Go To High-Protein Breakfast That Takes 5 Minutes
Ok, actually I have two. One is a pre-packaged thing, which I don’t usually do, but we all have our moments when we’re rushed, overtired, or just plain old lazy. If you follow me on IG and watch my stories, you may have noticed that outside of my meals at […]
Happy Valentine’s Day: Name a Roach After Your Ex
This is actually something I discovered a few years ago when I was going through my own breakup, and it’s such a wild idea, I had to share it here. I actually mention it in The Ultimate No BS Breakup Survival Guide e-book (shameless plug), which you can grab right […]
Caviar & Vibes at Chelsea Living Room
Maybe you’ve heard about Chelsea Living Room – the latest spot where New Yorkers flock to feel fancy, eat caviar, and get Instagram-worthy snacks. Nestled at 243 West 14th Street (right off the L train, which was ideal for me on this particularly rainy night), Chelsea Living Room is the […]
Dinner at Tatiana – One of the Hardest Reservations in NYC
Tatiana (in Lincoln Center) is the restaurant everyone in NYC won’t stop talking about…and for good reason. Chef Kwame Onwuachi, a Bronx native and culinary genius (yea, I said it), has created a menu that blends Afro-Caribbean, West African, and Creole flavors. Oh, and if you haven’t heard, it was […]
Brunch at Newly Revamped Kellogg’s Diner
If you’re a New Yorker—especially one with a penchant for food—you’ve probably heard of Kellogg’s Diner in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It’s been a neighborhood staple for decades, known for its 24/7 service and classic diner vibes. That said, it had fallen off the map a little in recent years, largely due […]
Getting Through The Holidays When You’re Single (and Older)
The holiday season brings a lot of thoughts and feelings to the surface, and they look different for everyone. When you’re a kid, it’s fun, full of whimsy, and SO EXCITING that you can’t even SLEEP the night before Christmas. When you become an adult, it can feel like a […]
Morning Coffee and Croissants at Holiday Cocktail Lounge
If you’ve lived in NYC all your life like me, you’ve likely passed this iconic bar on St. Marks Place. “Holiday Cocktail Lounge” is printed in a classic, unfussy font on a dark red awning, and you think to yourself, “surely they can’t mean ‘holiday’ like, Christmas?” But alas, they […]
