Looking for Joe?

Gone are the days of the paper “We are happy to serve you” greek coffee cups of NYC.

Call me crazy, but in my limited free time, I volunteer. That’s right, no bonbons on the sofa for me during half-time. Most people (including my hubby) think I’m crazy because in a city like New York, people can barely find the time to do their laundry and here I am up late at night…volunteering….

Toms Shoes now for your Eyes

Chance are, 5 out of 10 of you reading this already own a pair of Toms Shoes. Ok, I don’t really know, I’m just guessing. In New York, it seems like everyone had on a pair of the classic Toms as soon as the weather was a degree over 50. If you don’t know the…

I’ll take the Low Line

What a coincidence that I reported on our visit to the Highline last week and this past week, mentions about a new Low Line is in the media. Better know as the Delancey Underground, this new New York environmental project that takes over an abandoned trolley on the lower east side of Manhattan. It would…
