New York City is powered by three things (1) caffeine, (2) rent anxiety, and (3) people who wake up each morning and think, “You know what? I bet I can pull this off.” Enter one man, one night’s stay, and the absolutely majestic idea that if you play […]
New York City is many things at 2:30 a.m. Romantic if you’re in love. Philosophical if you’re walking home alone. Regret-adjacent if you’ve just eaten pizza you didn’t need. But every once in a while, it turns cinematic. A few nights ago, a man apparently launched himself into […]
Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met? There’s a funny thing about living in New York City. You can’t help but run into famous people. Sometimes literally. I once bumped physically into Anderson Cooper on the street. Later, my organization ended up honoring […]
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 […]
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 often do you walk or run I walk. Every day. I walk when it’s cold, when it’s hot, when I’m sick, when I’m well, and when I’m questioning all my life choices. For the past 20 years, movement has been my therapy, my fuel, my caffeine. Even […]
What’s your go-to comfort food? Let’s talk about pizza. Not haute cuisine. Not microfoam cappuccinos or farm-to-table kale. 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 […]
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 […]
What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life? You haven’t truly lived in New York City until a local train you’re riding suddenly goes rogue and decides, mid-ride, to become express. No announcement. No warning. Just BAM! like Emeril seasoning your morning commute with […]
