First Saturday at the Brooklyn Museum
Consider this the exciting conclusion of my King’s County Trio of posts: the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Brooklyn Flea, and finally, Target First Saturday at the Brooklyn Museum. After 5:00 on the first Saturday of every month, our beloved Target hosts a fabulous free event at the museum. And much like actual Target on a Saturday,…

A Peek At…Brooklyn Flea
Brooklyn Flea is smart. When the weather gets cold, they move indoors! And I’ve been waiting to visit until I could see their gorgeous indoor location. See what I mean? Almost anything you can imagine, you can find here. Quirky dice, vintage clothes, records, vintage glasses, and tons and tons of these weird letter blocks. …

Downtown to Chinatown
So once a week, my friend Connie and I get together under the noble banner of seeing more of this great city we are so fortunate to live in. When in reality, we just take tons and tons of Instagram photos. The plan was to walk downtown, to visit Park Here, on the advice of…

Snow Day!
Today we had our first *real* snow! That one before Halloween was a fluke and everyone knows snow before November is NOT SNOW! We woke up to a veritable winter wonderland! Fluffy flakes falling so dense and fast they obscured the bridge and the view of New Jersey: And it was fun to watch the…

Gimme Color
The new year has started off drab, drab, drab. Look, I’ve either been sick at home in grey cotton T-shirts or in my all-black work uniform!!! I had a craving today for color and excitement, and I definitely got what I needed. Starting with my nails! On the left hand: gray, butter yellow, neon purple,…

Something I Adore
I was racking my brain all day on this one, then it hit me on the walk home. I actually went three blocks out of my way to get some of these shots- in 20 degree weather!!! So sue me. I adore living in New York City. I adore being a New Yorker! I feel…

New Year’s Fail
Everyone around me is talking about resolutions, these inspiring ways they plan to change their lives for the better, amazing goals to turning their lives around in 2012. I’m not going to do that. Listen, I know myself pretty well (all my life, in fact) and I cannot keep long term goals. I mean, I…

Mystery Solved
If you follow this blog, chances are you know me in person, and if you know me in person, you probably know about my building’s water “situation.” As in, sometimes there’s water, sometimes it’s brown, sometimes it’s ice cold and sometimes it’s clear and runs both hot and cold. But not too often on that…

Connoisseur of Pants
Many people have a fashion accessory they can’t live without, or a collection of a singular defining garment, say, cardigans. After some depressing soul searching, it has occurred to me that my fashion must-have is… Lounge pants. I know, it’s tragic, but really, don’t we all love some comfort? So I decided to use my…

A Dream Realized
“What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?” – Langston Hughes, A Dream Deferred “…or does it puff up, like a cheese wonton?” – me. I’ve always had dreams of running away to a big city. When I got older, I fell in love with New York…

Remember the Times
Ever wake up at 11am on a Saturday, you don’t have to work, it’s nice and cold outside, and just… go through old facebook photos of yourself? Maybe you should try to be a little more narcissistic, because it is AWESOME. Case in point: I found these old photos of me from YEARS back and…

Coffee and Cheetos
While I’m away enjoying a vegetarian Thanksgiving, I thought I’d share with you what a vegetarian eats. Many people show lofty photos of what they eat during the day as vegetarians: quinoa and seitan and other things that Mozilla Firefox automatic spell check does not recognize as words. So here’s what I, as an average…
