Hiking Breakneck Ridge

New York City Helicopter Tour
This year for Greg’s birthday and my birthday, my parents wanted to gift us a unique NYC experience. After all, what else do you get the people who have everything? […]
2018 Military Ball
Of all the charity galas we attend in New York City, the Military Ball always feels the most purposeful. Not only do the funds raised go towards supporting our troops, […]
Caramelized Bacon
Over Thanksgiving last year my aunt made this amazing Caramelized Bacon recipe and I’ve been thinking about it ever since! And because the holidays are just around the corner, I finally […]
Private New York City Red Double-Decker Bus Tour
On a chilly fall Saturday, Greg and I headed down to Midtown to board a red double-decker bus. But it wasn’t a typical touristy excursion. Instead, this was a private […]

Aruba
This year Greg took me to Paris for my birthday, so when his birthday rolled around the bar was set très high. I started his birthday month by making him […]
Dear Irving

Greg and I love going to Vermont since it’s the perfect outdoorsy getaway from New York City. And while we normally spend time in Killington where his house is, during […]

On the last day of Jenny and Amber’s visit, we headed to The Ribbon on the Upper West Side for brunch. After all, there’s nothing more quintessentially New York City […]
