No one opens the door for a native New Yorker

As if a 4.8 magnitude earthquake could stop a New Yorker from getting their Bacon Egg & Cheese from the bodega. HA!

Come to cheer on the runners, stay for the witty signage.

Next level hating

I like working outside. On Tuesday, June 6, while typing away in my modest backyard, the hazy air (which I had attributed to unpleasant New York summers) started to smell like a campfire. Shortly after, I learned the haze and accompanying smell hailed all the way from Canada, where wildfires are ravaging the forests. Though wildfires are an expected natural occurrence in both Canada and the United States, the intensity and number of fires are both unprecedented. Tuesday's smoky air went from “u…

Another week of collective outrage.

A questionable idea

The New York City subway may seem like a luxurious convenience to residents of cities with a lack of public transportation, but the convenience is nearly outweighed by the unpleasantries that come with it. There are constant signal malfunctions and delays that make a person perpetually late to their destination. Then there are the rats that seem to run the tunnels and the strange rivers of dirty water that seem to be perpetually flowing down the G line. I'd be remiss not to mention the scent of…

As someone who has lived in New York City for my entire life, I am used to the rent being ridiculous. But that doesn't mean I'm cool with it. Every time I move it's to another tenement-like apartment and farther from “civilization.” It's frustrating, as a native, to be pushed out of your own neighborhood. But this is where the jobs are, and where my friends and family are, so I deal with it. Lately I've been hearing that it's actually cheaper to live in Manhattan than Brooklyn - a claim I can o…

Once upon a time, before Uber, before cell phones, and before the Internet, people used to walk places. At least that's what we hear. As a city-dweller who doesn't own (and can't drive) a car, and someone who is perpetually late , I've taken my fair share of stressed-out Ubers. But I draw the line at any trip that I could walk, train, or bus in less than 20 minutes. The thing is, there are plenty of people in this city with lots more money than me, and they seem to have forgotten how to walk or…

He really is the most relatable politician

Mother nature stay playing the Uno Reverse card on NYC...

A neighborhood just isn't complete without a local Chinese food restaurant.

English entertainer James Corden is an easy target. His entire presence, to some, can only be defined as “cringe.” The singing, the bumbling about, the Top 40 squeals and that godawful ‘ Carpool Karaoke, ’ in which he seems to want to make everything about him. His presence, to us, is grating, but we've never heard of him committing some sort of moral or ethical crime against humanity. Until now. Thanks to restaurateur Keith McNally, who owns NYC institutions Balthazar, Pastis, and Minetta Tave…
