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 […]
At approximately 2:00 a.m., which, clinically speaking, is the hour when good decisions go to die, a group of six individuals reportedly emerged from a manhole in Brooklyn. Let me repeat that. They didn’t open the manhole and go down. They came up. Like a plot twist.Like a […]
Yesterday, the New York City Department of Transportation repaired 7,601 potholes in 14 hours. Fourteen. Hours. That is not a statistic. That is a cry for help. I have questions. So many questions. For instance, how are there 7,601 potholes just waiting? Are they breeding at night? Is […]

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 […]
