One wintry night in February, I went to see the play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead performed by the Acting Company with my friend Kim. I got to the city a bit early for dinner, which was a good thing…
I was extremely pumped about doing this walk because: a) I’d never done a Gramercy walk before and b) We were doing the walk on my day off, so I was expecting a lot less stress due to the lack…
Deciding where to go on a foggy, then rainy Saturday afternoon was not easy. I had originally thought of doing the “Top of the Rock” for the FMS Photo a Day prompt “Looking Down”, but I decided it wouldn’t be…
On New Year’s Eve, after adding “Watch 2 Broadway Shows” to my 2014 bucket list, Goldstar (think Groupon specifically for shows and activities) put tickets to the show “First Date” on sale for a little less than half off. They…

The last time I attempted to do a walk in SoHo back in 2011, I ended up hitting mostly NoLita, and didn’t actually get to do much shopping. This time I actually listed down SoHo locations, and had a lovely,…
To be honest, I have never been completely satisfied with any of the Filipino restaurants that I’ve been to in NYC. Most have a good selection of dishes that are “pwede na” (translation: good enough), but there’s usually nothing that’s…
Recently I’ve been on a mission to hit all the well-known restaurants in the vicinity of of where I work in the East Village because soon, we will be moving to the very boring financial district. Ippudo has been on…
