One of my favorite things about working in real estate is exploring the amazing market, new developments and the luxe flats around NYC. Some of which I have to admit are beyond breathtaking. And although I would love to keep what I see on a daily basis on the hush-hush, there’s absolutely no fun in

When I first met Simone Nemirovsky way back when during an internship at Harper’s Bazaar magazine, I immediately knew this girl would not only be a lifelong friend, but was someone who would show her talents to the world in more than one way. And I have to admit, even as a freshman in college,

Umm…did I mention the GUAC-OFF winner’s recipe was published on Kendall-Jackson’s blog this week? Hola. And trust me, this is one not to miss…everyone has gone ole over it!

After hearing “I make the best guac, ever” about three times each day from friends to strangers on the street, I finally put an ole in my two step and declared it was finally a must to host a Guac-Off. Oh, yes! Well, that was a few years ago! And since then, the event has

I don’t know about you, but on a holiday weekend I am all about keeping my laptop turned off and cell on silent, while flaunting a bikini with my feet in the sand or the pool…at all times. And not only do I love to carry this lazy, not a care in the world holiday

When you’re the executive chef at one of the most popular restaurants in NYC, it’s a given you’re a top tier chef, but being super quick in the kitchen is the way to satisfy a busy New Yorker’s appetite, and keep them coming back for more. So when I was pondering about perfect summer dishes to

Tired of pouring water out of a generic filter {ahem…Brita} at a dinner party only to have the top fly off and water gush out all over the floor? Or seeing little bits of black charcoal floating around in your guests’ glasses from it? I know I am! So when I heard about this new

Hostess gifts? Casa essentials? Beauty touch-ups? Oh daaahling, I think we all know everything we could possibly need to elevate anyone’s day is right inside the mothership of ABC Carpet & Home on Broadway. Housing not only home furnishings {carpets, furniture, you name it}, two {soon to be three} eclectic restaurants and multiple guest speakers
