Gourmet Slurppin’

Long gone are the days of snow cones and chasing the ice cream truck down the street…there’s a icy cool new phenomenon in town! Two words: People’s Pops. After reading about the icy pops {rather than crushed ice!} trend in the latest Vogue pages, I just had to go check People’s Pops out for myself [...]

Konnichiwa Queen

I’ve always had a huge interest in learning how to make the raw but oh so delicious dish we call sushi. But, every opportunity to take a class {whether on Gilt City, etc} never worked out with the strict times and high prices! So, yours truly marched right on over to her favorite sushi chef [...]

Soul Of The South: The South In Each Bite

As I’m gearing up for a memorable {wedding celebration to be exact!} down in Nashville on Saturday, I couldn’t think of a better week to share my new favorites in the Soul of the South. This week will be filled of all my new “go-to’s” {in addition to last year’s list!} in this hip and [...]

See & Be Seen At The NoMad

The hip and oh so up & coming  historic NoMad neighborhood {North of Madison Square Park} is bordered by the Flatiron District, Chelsea and Gramercy Park, so it’s only fitting that the coolest most swankiest hotel would open right in the heart of it all. Everyone, say bonjour + hola to my newest spot to [...]

Smile. Bite. Smile.

I love it when readers give me suggestions about cool places we should go check out for future B+H posts! So when I received an email with raving reviews about a sweet shop in Chelsea called Stick&Pop, you better bet I pranced right on over! Hola. Stick&Pop owners: Christy Nyberg & Jacki Caponigro From the [...]

Sweets to the Streets

While visiting DC this past weekend, there was no way I was leaving before I ventured to the cute and quaint area of Georgetown! Filled with fabulous shops, delectable munchies and preps galore I immediately fell in love. And although the average NYC chica would rave about her favorite shop or dress purchased there, I [...]

Tales of Veggies

Looking through old B+H posts, I realized I’ve never written about my absolute favorite place to go plop up on a Sunday afternoon. It’s a spot that’s bursting with unexpected flavors. It’s a spot that provides lovable food…veggie style, of course! It’s a spot that obviously includes both Eataly {my mothership!} and Eat-ing…at the ultra [...]

Brunchin’ Hola Style

Buttermilk pancakes with scrambled cheese eggs and a side of sausage? Yep, that’s my idea of a traditional kind of brunch! But when I heard that my new favorite Spanish haunt, Tertulia, had reinvented the way New York does brunch a la “tapas style”, I decided to hola on over! And this ain’t no yolk, [...]

A Sugary Soirée Of Comfort

It’s official! Last week, Madison Ave got even sweeter. Literally! Neuhaus, known as a luxury Belgian “Créateur Chocolatier” worldwide, opened its new NYC flagship doors, and all sorts of bonbons to biscuits were sold into the health conscious hands of NYC! Hola! Founded by Jean Neuhaus in 1857, Neuhaus chocolates are still created in Vlezenbeek, Belgium [...]

Scootin’ & Juicin’

The sad day finally came…it was time for me to fly back on Easter Sunday to the hustle and bustle of NYC! And although I was tempted to intentionally miss my flight, I knew that me not flyin’ would not “fly” with my parentals! But, there was one place that I couldn’t pass up before [...]

Candles Lit Up. Candles Blown Out!

Did you really think we ended the night with fro-yo with Troy’s birthday brunch celebration the next morning? Um…hello! What are friends for? You can’t leave them hanging when there is much to be done before the big day! After we munched on our “yo”, we headed back to their sleek casa to adorn eggs [...]

Hikin’, Aussiein’, Fro-Yoin’!

I woke up the next morning in my totally girlie hotel suite {“hola” got bumped up when I checked in with all smiles!} bright-eyed and fancy free looking over the beautiful Hollywood hills! The Mondrian was the most convenient hotel for me to stay in to be close to my boys, and thanks to Jetsetter [...]
