Last week, I attended “A Seat at the Table,” a dinner hosted by Grace Young (affectionately referred to as “the Voice of Chinatown” by Grub Street), to celebrate the traditions and flavors of Chinatown with a special menu at Hakka Cuisine. The dinner was planned in partnership with Welcome To […]

5 Things To Do in Turks & Caicos
Having been at the pinnacle of my “must-visit” destinations for quite some time, it would be an understatement to say that I was excited upon receiving an invitation to review a new restaurant at Seven Stars Resort in Turks & Caicos. The sandy white beaches, those turquoise waters…it’s really stunning […]
A Story for Mental Health Awareness Month
Ahh my favorite month! Just kidding, but it’s an important one. The toaster photo will make sense in a minute, just hang in there. I happen to be going through some shit of my own this month, so I wanted to share a bit about that in the hopes that […]
How To Reverse-Sear a Steak
I’d like to preface this by saying that I love this method of cooking steak and prefer it to most. I would also like to share that I am someone without a grill (I live in NYC) and I am lazy. Most of the time. So this recipe/method is perfect […]
Citifield Press Day! New in 2023
My favorite day of the year! At least from a blogger/content creator perspective. Because my other favorite day of the year is probably Thanksgiving. Any day where it’s acceptable to put gravy on everything is a great day in my book. But I digress. When I started my silly little […]

My Holiday Gift Guides: 2022
It’s Holiday Gift Guide time! For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you probably saw that my mom was in the ER right before Thanksgiving Day, after falling and breaking 9 ribs. Yes, 9. She’s ok thankfully, and made it home in time for Thanksgiving, but I was […]
All’Antico Vinaio + Almost Famous (The Musical)
Maybe I’ll start a series called Shows & Sandwiches. I think it has legs. Not to mention my claim to IG fame basically started when I discovered my superhuman ability to hold unusually large sandwiches in one hand. I dubbed it the #sandwichclaw. Shout out to Anthony & Sons Panini […]
Best Pizza in NYC (2022)
I’ve written a few posts like this already, and I’m starting to wonder if I should even bother adding a date to it. Because at the end of the day, after all of my years eating pizza in this city, the top 5 don’t change much. That said, there are […]
