I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving weekend! I have a lot of stuff to post from Detroit, so let’s get it started, shall we? I had a great time back in my hometown with my friends and family, and as you can see from the above photo, we had some really yummy treats! On [...]

This is my friend Nora (left), my cousin Erica (right) and myself checking out the floats for the Detroit Thanksgiving Parade last night at one or so in the morning. Happy Thanksgiving from Detroit, y’all.

I just want to say that I love my friends and I like hamburgers. So if you’ve got a hankering for one (a hamburger, not friend – although you could perhaps find one of those there too), I suggest you get yourself to Paul’s Burgers on 2nd avenue. They’ve got a million different burgers you [...]

I’m not going to lie, this is my new favorite picture. My life in one frame, haha. The Brooklyn Bridge and ice cream. Yes, please. Yesterday I finally, finally was able to check out the New Amsterdam Market, a monthly market in the South Street Seaport where the Fulton Fish Market used to be. It’s [...]

Hey, hey, hey! It’s Friday! This is Lisa. She’s my lunch buddy. Her office is all of a half a block away from mine, so on good days we sneak away and grab a bite together. One of our fave spots is Chat N Chew. It’s kitschy, it’s cheap, it’s good and I wish I [...]

Last week, my friend Melody was baptized with The Journey Church. Me and a couple of girlies went to support her. First there was a concert and then all the people who were getting baptized went on stage and had the chance to introduce themselves if they wanted to. She totally gave us a shout [...]

The past few days in New York have been lovely. I took a stroll around Prospect Park to catch what’s left of the fall colors before all the leaves end up on the ground. Prospect Park, I love you.

Ice skating in New York City: one of the most popular winter activities for tourists and locals alike. Oh, I wish I could love you. But it’s actually my biggest (perhaps my only?) complaint about living in NYC: the lack of ice rinks. And don’t even suggest Chelsea Piers. Sure, there’s about five outdoor rinks [...]
Eileen’s Special Cheesecake

Um, would you like some cheesecake? I would. After Friday night, I spent the entire weekend being lazy watching movies at my friend’s apartment and all I wanted was something sweet. This little darling is from Eileen’s Special Cheesecake, a place I tried with my mom a few months ago. I’d heard many a good [...]
