I feel like myself. Last night I went out to dinner with my good friend Melissa, and while it was really not too long ago we had brunch together, it felt like so much had happened in that month and a half. It was really nice to meet up and relax, dining al fresco in [...]

Last night I met up with some peeps on the Upper East Side at Blockheads, which is a burrito joint with a few locations in the city. I thought it would be lame because there’s one in Murray Hill and by definition 99% of things in that neighborhood are lame, but it was not and [...]

Sometimes I eat this for lunch. Not yesterday, obviously, because yesterday was cold and rainy, but when it was actually SUNNY last week, this is what I had for lunch. Rainbow Falafel in Union Square. It’s a tiny, tiny hole of a shop that’s managed to stay open during my three years here, and unfortunately [...]

This was a strange weekend and I can’t really figure out why. Here are my two boys in Long Island City. We were chilling on these fancy chairs having a chat. I actually got a little pink from the sun! It was gorgeous out and the park right there is really nice. A waverunner gang [...]

Uh oh… this is my third post in a row that involves drinking. What does that say about me? Haha. Well, at least it’s Friday. :) This week I went to the Radegast Hall & Biergarten in Williamsburg. It’s a pretty big beergarden, and one of the few in NYC. A friend of mine was [...]

Sometimes you just need a drink. More specifically, a lychee martini! I was never a big martini girl (except for this fab place in Berkley, Mich. called The Living Room) but lychee martinis are especially wonderful. I mean, I don’t really even know what a lychee is, besides the fact that it’s some sort of [...]

(photo/Laura Leebove) At this point, I’ve pretty much given up on the idea that Brokelyn was actually going to post pictures from their event (along with Effed in Park Slope and Brooklyn Based) Brooklyn Blogs, which was at the Bell House last week. They had a fancy camera and were taking down names and blogs [...]

It’s been a very exciting past few days but today City Mitten is gonna take a break from the eats (well, sort of: see below) and give you a final Boston wrap-up. Number three of Things I Wanted to do in Boston was walk around aimlessly, so here it is. :) Well, it wasn’t so aimlessly. That [...]

P and I went to the Yankees versus the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim game last night. It was my first time in the new stadium and it was pretty nice! Here’s $50 of food from Nathan’s. Here’s the view from $20 seats: And here’s some happy campers: The Yankees killed it, of course. I [...]
