Free Ice Skating

Hey all, ahhh winter is almost here and the lovely city of NY opens its ice skating pond in Bryant Park today. The best part about it isnt the hot chocolate, fun times and funny spills.... its that this is completely free! Why pay the $40 or so at Rockafellar Center and deal with the hoards of annoying tourists??!! So no excuses to not enjoy the changing of the season, just head on over to Bryan Park, 42nd st and 6th ave.

And since I have never actually been ice skating, expect to see me. Ill be the one sitting on the ice laughing my ass off.

Embrace Fall!

Hey out there. Fall is my favorite season of the year and I think that it is important to take advantage of this amazing cool NYC weather before we have to all bust out the hats, scarves, gloves and parkas. One of my favorite things to do in this weather is to sit outside of outdoor cafe's enjoying a latte, cocktail and great food. The perfect place for that is Cookshop, located on 20th street and 10th ave. Cookshop's menue consists of fairly priced new american food all prepared to perfection with gourmet twists. They have a spacious outdoor seating area that the sun hits just right during mid afternoon. They also have seasonal cocktails that embrace the cool crisp wind, like the bourbon cider martini. Enjoy!

Free Reggae!!!

Hey mon... so this week my goal is to get all of you to check out the best free concert you will ever experience in NYC. Every Wednesday night Lava Gina (yes, that is the actual name of the venue) hosts Meta and the Cornerstones. This intimate lower east side venue is located on 8th street and Ave C, and houses the perfect blend of hipsters, artists, students and even young Wall Street types, all jamming out to amazing reggae from about 10:30pm till about 12:30am. There is NO COVER CHARGE, drinks are reasonably priced, and the experience is truly unsurpassed. My friends and I love to use "reggae Wednesdays" as an outlet to dance off (and sweat off) all the mid-week drama and stress. The music attracts great people, so make your way down the LES for great music, people and drinks!!!

One love-
