There is something so profoundly New York about paying $12 for a croissant and feeling special only to potentially discover that your fancy French pastry may have arrived in a Costco box. A NYC content creator recently went viral after filming what appeared to be Costco croissant boxes […]
There was a time when I believed my umbrella choices said something noble about me. I was a small umbrella person. The kind who tucks neatly into a bag, emerges politely, and takes up as little space in the world as possible. Compact. Considerate. Mildly damp, but morally […]
I was minding my business. Thriving, even. Or at the very least, moderately hydrated and answering emails with appropriate punctuation.
