NO ONE DOES IT LIKE MOM
If you read nothing else on this blog besides this post, you will die a happier person. Everyone loves the feeling of independence. Leaving home, going off the college, for most, moving as far away as possible and finally determining your own life. As great as that might be, and as much as you might embrace … Continue reading
CHEAPEST BREAKFAST IN NEW YORK
Didn’t your mother ever tell you to eat breakfast? I don’t know about you, but the second I wake up, my metabolim turns into a 17 year old male football player I am ready to eat a three course meal. Attractive I know. And for those of you living on a diet of cigarettes, adderol … Continue reading
I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE
East Village Radio is a New York staple. A New York staple I had never heard of until recently. So I figured, if I had never heard of this legendary institution, some of you out there may not have either. Now please forgive me if this is old hand news to you, but for everyone … Continue reading
GIT YUR HURR DID
I have very white skin. Pale, alabaster, albino, fair…whatever you want to call it, the fact is, I am a very white person. So in keeping with the theme, many years ago, I decided to start dying my hair white too. As you do. Well, truth be told, it was really more of a progression … Continue reading
EAT YOUR HEART OUT

Here, obesity is a foreign concept – I mean, the apartment sizes really restrict any sort of abnormal weight … Continue reading
IF YOU NEED ME, CALL ME, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE, NO MATTER HOW FAR
New York is amazing, yes. New York can also be a bitch. Not, I’m going to talk sassy and snap my fingers at you, bitch… no, I’m talking menopausal Mum, bitch!

CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN
New York is the deli capital of the world. Bodega, corner store, convenience shop – what ever you want to call it, cheap sandwichs and food are a small step away at most moments in time. LaBagel Delight is no exception. As the name suggests, it sells bagels (amoungst other things.) From the outside it … Continue reading
IF THE SHOE FITS…IT’S TOO EXPENSIVE
Discount malls, outlet stores and bargain basements scare me to death. Century 21 is like hell on earth and the thought of having to dig through a pile of clothes in between five other hungry and possessed women makes me feel slightly ill. So needless to say, although I love me a good bargain, there … Continue reading
THERE AIN’T NOTHING LIKE A HOUND DOG
New Yorkers love their dogs. Point blank. The thing that I never understood when I came here though – was why, in the city with a reputation for the meanest people and the smallest apartments, did everyone’s hearts melt when it came to four legged companions? Then it hit me. In a city where people … Continue reading
