First off, I haven’t written on here in a while, and there have been some updates. Probably the most important: I was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm a few weeks ago. It’s not as scary as it sounds (though it’s still scary), and I’m ok — we just need to […]

What’s New at Citi Field for 2026
If you’ve been following me for a while, you know this is usually one of my favorite days (and posts) of the year. Every Spring (usually under unfortunate weather conditions bc March in NYC), I head to Citi Field’s press preview, eat my way through approximately 47 dishes in 2 […]
My Black Friday & Holiday Gift Guide 2025
Welp here we are again! Good ol’ holiday season is upon us and if there’s one thing I look forward to every year, it’s the holiday sales and gift-giving. This year, Amazon Prime is starting their Black Friday deals early (11/20), which is both exciting and overwhelming, and I have added […]
Is Una Pizza Napoletana Worth the Hype?
Something funny happened this weekend: I was talking to my friend about where to go for pizza, and we both agreed we wanted to go some place different or new. And I had a craving – a SERIOUS craving – for that chewy, leopard-spotted, beautifully blistered crust that only comes […]
Is 4 Charles Prime Rib Worth The Hype?
TLDR: Yes. If you’ve ever tried to snag a reservation at 4 Charles Prime Rib, you probably aged a year in the process. This West Village supper club is notorious for being booked solid, but occasionally you can luck out with a 5 PM Tuesday table popping up on Resy. […]
Dumpling-Making Class at Buddakan NYC
If you lived in New York in the early 2000s, you probably know Buddakan as the place to pregame for the Meatpacking club circuit – or maybe you just remember it from Sex and the City (Carrie and Big’s rehearsal dinner in the movie). Either way, I hadn’t stepped foot […]
What’s New at Citi Field in 2025
Let’s get the painful part out of the way: I couldn’t eat anything this year at Citi Field’s annual press preview because of a coronectomy. Yes, that’s a thing and no, I don’t recommend it. But don’t worry! I still licked a lot of the food for the sake of […]
Soft Foods Diet for a Coronectomy
If you’ve recently had a coronectomy – or are preparing for one – you’re probably wondering what you can eat during recovery that won’t make you miserable. Soft foods, again?! Yes, but hear me out. A soft foods diet doesn’t have to be bland, boring, or sad. In fact, with […]
Is The Corner Store Worth The Hype?
TLDR: Yes. Yes it is. Sitting on the corner (obviously) at 475 West Broadway is The Corner Store; nothing looks less impressive from the outside if I’m being honest, but inside is a gorgeous space (designed by the Rockwell Group) filled with gaggles of attractive people sipping their Sour Cream […]
