If, like me, you’re feeling a little out of sorts working from home and not seeing all the people you’re used to seeing, then you probably look like you haven’t showered in days and have been wearing the same sweats for a week. (If not, how??) Getting semi-dressed has helped make me feel a bit better, both about myself and […]

Flowers have started blooming and the sun is shining longer, which means spring has finally arrived. And that also means summer is right around the corner. Discovering new wines to enjoy when the seasons change is my favorite thing to do. Whether you prefer a medium-bodied red or a crisp, dry white, there’s a food-friendly wine for everyone to enjoy […]

Feta is a white brined cheese traditionally produced in Greece from sheep’s milk, or a combination of sheep and up to 30% goat milk. A staple of Greek cuisine as well as the Mediterranean diet, feta can be used in myriad ways to elevate a meal, whether as an entree, a side dish, or even dessert.  PDO stands for “designation […]

It’s been a stressful time for everyone lately. People are losing their jobs, they’re stuck at home, and good ol’ vitamin D, which boosts your mood, is hard to come by. Enter: Lucent Botanicals.

What a world we live in, eh? While there is SO much to talk about in regards to coronavirus and how it is effecting so many people around the world, both in terrible and minute ways, that is not what this post is about. (Read what the CDC has to say on how to cope.) No one knows what the […]

On a coveted stretch of real estate in South Williamsburg comes a new addition to the blossoming Indian cuisine scene in Brooklyn. The space is expansive and welcoming, with an intentionally dated decor.  Masti has only been open for a month, but the food is reminiscent of centuries of recipes, passed down through generations.  I got to order a mix […]

It was seemingly exclusive. Anyone who was someone was there. From posh celebrities and supermodels to famed artists and musicians. But even behind the lavish velvet ropes, the outsiders were invited. It was a time when gender was fluid, fashion was extravagantly over the top, but glamor and drugs and sex were always in excess.

Depending on who you talk to, you might have heard that New York Fashion Week is dying. With some major designers opting out of showing this year (and even last year), I can see why you might believe the hype. But ‘reports of its death have been greatly exaggerated.’ New York Fashion Week is when fashion designers get to showcase […]

A man stands in front of his housemates in a New York City apartment as they gather around a table, facing him. A housemate meeting is under way, though the tone is one more suited to a lecture, even an inquisition.
