Last week I visited the Corcoran Gallery of Art for the first time to view a new exhibit about the subculture of graffiti, rap, go-go and punk scene in D.C. during the 1980s and early 90s. Pump Me Up: D.C. Subculture of the 1980s showcases the birth of an underground...
I drove up to New York last weekend to complete stage three of my move and the weekend turned into a bit of a love letter weekend in the city. I didn’t intend to spend a magical weekend in the city filled with new and old favorite experiences, but that’s...
I wish the story that I have to tell was as dramatic as this title implies but…it’s not. As you know I’ve moved home to the DC area and catapulted myself into DC life during arguably the biggest weekend of the year. I couldn’t move home without at least...
For the past few weeks I’ve been feeling somewhat “blah” towards New York. I’m sure it has to do with the fact that the sun now sets at around 4:30pm and that a day with a high of 45 degrees is considered “warm”. Whatever the reason, lately I’ve just...

I’m hosting our Thanksgiving this year. Hence the title of this post. I will admit that I lucked out in the sense that I will only be cooking for myself, my aunt, and my mother (if you have no place to eat this holiday, come join us!), but the...
Let’s just start this post by saying that I am on day 3 without electricity. I just wanted to give you an idea of my mental state. In all honesty, I’m so grateful that my apartment and my neighborhood did not suffer much damage as a result of the...
There’s a hurricane a’comin!!! Yes yes, hurricane Sandy is currently blasting New York City with high winds and rain, but I feel like a kid who’s had a snow day. As a result of the storm, New York City shut down the subway system, all bus routes, and trains, making...
