When I had heard that there were plans to open a new hotel in the shadows of Ground Zero I was intrigued. I mean it has been nearly nine years since the tragic events of 9/11 and barely anything has been built where the World Trade Center once stood. I was given a complimentary stay [...]
Low and slow is usually the way I walk down the street on a hot and humid summer day in New York. But it is also the best way to BBQ according to experts. Whether it is a pulled pork sandwich or a rack of meaty ribs, there really is nothing like pigging out in [...]
Now that summer is in full bloom, I’ve found myself enjoying some outdoor activities here in New York to escape the heat and boost my spirits. I find having picnics at parks and riding out to a waterfront are not only fun and cheap, but also make for great day trips. Hang Out at Parks [...]
Planning a trip to New York? Think your only option is Manhattan? Think again! Few people travel over the famed Brooklyn Bridge and check out “that other borough” because they believe it is a step down from the glitz and glamor of NYC. Not true my friends. You need to check out my home town [...]
Believe it or not the most popular question I receive in my inbox from people visiting New York (or who have just moved here) is not about the typical tourist attractions.

New York City has many fantastic fromageries around the Big Apple, but here are three that really love to place a spotlight on that wonderfully stinky dairy product. Artisanal: Chef Terrance Brennan designed [...]
With the temperatures rising, now is the perfect time to get outside, enjoy the blooming flowers, take in the warmer temps and of course enjoy a drink or twelve. While it is always enjoyable to partake in a few suds after work or on vacation at a hole in the wall, it can be even [...]
With the weather getting warmer and the days getting longer, now is the perfect time to down a few cold ones while visiting New York City. While the Big Apple can be a pretty pricey place to get hammered, a few select spots offer happy hours and drink specials that are sure to get you [...]
I recently was offered a complimentary night at the Affinia Dumont Hotel located in the Murray Hill/Midtown East section of Manhattan.
