There comes a point in every day when you start to question not just what time it is, but what day it even is. Today was one of those days. You know the kind where you’re running around like a headless chicken, except this chicken is also holding […]
So some alarmist study went and ranked states on their chances of surviving a zombie apocalypse and surprise, surprise, New York didn’t snag gold. The Empire State limped in at fifth, which apparently proves that even our legion of gritty, resilient New Yorkers wouldn’t stop the undead from […]
I’m not usually one to get dizzy from news headlines, but this one gave me a touch of vertigo just reading it. The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge in southern China has officially opened, and it’s now the world’s tallest bridge standing 2,050 feet above the Beipan River. That’s […]
I have a question that’s been nibbling at my frontal lobe lately: Why do brick-and-mortar banks still exist? No, really. Every time I pass one, it looks like a set from a post-apocalyptic finance movie. There’s the eerie fluorescent lighting, rows of perfectly aligned cubicles that sit as […]
So apparently, residents in San Rafael, California, are living in a real-life horror movie. Forget “Jaws.” Forget “Cujo.” The menace of the season? A rogue squirrel. Yes, a squirrel. That fluffy-tailed park mascot has gone feral and is attacking people so viciously that some have ended up in […]
How do you relax? So there I was, late Saturday night, staring at the streaming void trying to figure out what to watch. I landed on a documentary about the history of reggaetón on Peacock. Why not? It sounded like the perfect background noise for folding laundry. Except […]

Just good old-fashioned, cheesy, slightly greasy, possibly folded-in-half New York-style pizza. The real universal food or as I like to call it, “the one thing that unites my household, my […]
Just when we thought we could enjoy summer in peace, bare feet on the grass, a little iced coffee on the porch, a moment of non-crisis they’re back. No, not your ex. Not that coworker who still “forgets” to CC you on emails. I’m talking about the Spotted […]
It’s been hotter than a sidewalk hot dog cart in mid-July New York. The kind of heat that turns your eyebrows into tiny sweat dams and makes you question your life choices. Like why you didn’t just move to Iceland during the pandemic like you half-joked. So there […]
Today, I treated myself to a city sampler platter of joy. A little culture. A little culinary delight. A little walking-off-the-week energy. And here’s the kicker. It was all done with barely any crowd-dodging or line-weaving. Score. First stop: an off-Broadway play.You know the kind. Small theater. Big […]
