I’m over Uber
This is a sad post for me to write. I used to be a big fan. But now, I’m beyond annoyed. I am over Uber. Now, mind you I rely on Uber for a lot. I don’t drive. Never have. I didn’t even drive when I lived in […]
This time I barely wrapped my glassware
It’s a big day for me. I’m moving yet again. Yes, it is true. Mind you. Although, I’ve lived in over 23 cities I am not moving to a new city. I’m just moving in to my third apartment in three years. I’m tired of moving. Tired of […]
You either take them off gently or you rip them off quickly
Sadly, clumsy me has had many a fall lately. I fell crossing the street after becoming lightheaded. And, no, I was not texting or otherwise engaged with my phone. It may have been from being locked in an office with 100 boxes or it may have been being […]
Your story can be someone else’s survival guide
It’s late at night and I’m staring at the sanitation trucks picking up recyling bins and moving stuff about. The city truly never sleeps. There’s round the clock fun, trouble and caution. New York’s vibrancy was a bit dampened. However, I digress. Back to the sanitation trucks. I […]

I love New York, but this morning’s walk was tough
Look, I’m a diehard New Yorker. I don’t drive. I love pierogies and bagels. I can walk for hours on end. Yet, lately I’ve been holding onto my pepper spray a little tighter and have been glad to wear a mask. Let’s start with the latter. New York […]
The pigeons of New York
Pigeons often appear in my New York stories. They are such an integral part as they can be found and are everywhere. You also stand a certain chanced of being pooped on from above. That’s New York life for you. They are an urban nature staple. I came […]
A moment of zen in the Green-wood cemetery
This may come off sounding strange but here it goes. I like going to cemeteries. Even when I travel abroad or even domestically, I visit a cemetary (albeit often of note). There is a weird sense of tranquility and beauty seeing the names of those long gone. Seeing […]

Sadly, there are many people who need to dumpster dive in order to survive. They need it for their next meal or to get cans to cash out on. Dumpster diving is a sad situation. Then you have New York city chic dumpster diving. Year round, but in […]
