As a critic, I go to the theater a lot. Most times it’s not even to review a show. I love theater. I love the intimacy it provides. I love the imagination that is triggered and the innovative way in which it keeps evolving. To make a stage into another place, transport us into another world, and make us care […]

With a wide selection of internet and cable services at your disposal, it can be a difficult choice trying to find the right one for your needs.

Located on the posh Upper East Side of Manhattan sits Swifty’s, a quaint, yet sophisticated restaurant that its regulars can’t stop raving about. I came across Swifty’s while searching for a special place to dine for my upcoming birthday, and it seemed like the perfect Upper East excursion for my special day. At first glance, Swifty’s seems to exude those […]

New York City has a very eclectic music scene and there is no shortage of live music options. But when I walked into The Cutting Room, I was reminded that all music venues are not created equal.

Sometimes I wish I had more time to visit all the restaurants in New York City because you always end up finding restaurants that you fall in love with and wonder why you have never heard of them before.
