Vegan Shop-Up
Last Sunday I went to a really cool vegan pop-up market in Brooklyn called Vegan Shop-Up. It had everything imaginable–tables with vegan chocolate, brownies, cupcakes, chocolate sauce, pretzels, hummus, different flavored vegan cheeses, salsa. There was even jewelry nail polish, and handmade catnip mice toys. It’s markets like Vegan Shop-Up that make me love New York [...]
Easter in NYC
How is it April already?! I didn’t even realize that Easter was close until a week before and by then, it was too late (read expensive) to fly back to good ol’ Michigan. Easter is a fun time in my family. My mom’s entire side of the family gets together and we play games, eat [...]
Taproom No. 307
Last week, I met up with a friend for drinks. We’ve done the whole mixology cocktail bar scene before (Lantern’s Keep and Joseph Leonard), so we decided to check out a beer spot. I found a great article on beer bars in New York on Time Out New York and we decided on Taproom No. 307. [...]
Detour to Harlem
Although I’ve been living in NYC for nearly two years, I have only walked around Harlem once, and sad to say, it was when I first came to the city looking for an apartment. I’m not familiar with the area and I have no real need to ever go there, so when Kevin and I [...]
Visit to DC: Part I-Valentine’s Day & Friends
I had wanted to go to Washington DC for a while. I hadn’t visited since Close-Up Government in 7th grade and I love taking weekend trips, so Kevin decided to make a special Valentine’s Day weekend out of it. It was also great because I was able to see some friends from school who I hadn’t [...]
Donut Pub
Doughnut Plant has been my favorite doughnut shop in NYC for the past several months (You can read about it here and here.). Ever since they opened up another location in Chelsea it has also made it much easier to get my hands on some doughnuts weekend mornings. BUT, living in New York City where [...]
Great Drinking Spots: Apothéke and Diablo Royale
I’ve had drinks at some pretty cool spots in the city over the past several weeks (The Tippler, Death & Co., Lantern’s Keep), and I feel like I just keep adding to the list. Recently, I met with friends at two very different but neat drinking spots that I highly recommend. One is Apothéke, a [...]
Vegetarian Thanksgiving Feast
Thanksgiving staying in the city was actually a lot of fun this year. I had a delicious vegetarian Thanksgiving feast thanks to Kevin. He made stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans and tofurky, and for dessert we had apple pie, sweet potato pie and vanilla bean ice cream. Soooo good! It was my first time having [...]
