Quality Eats
I know a New York City restaurant is good when I want to visit it multiple times. With so many restaurant choices in the city, I only go back to […]
Anastasia
Once upon a December March, I saw Anastasia on Broadway. I was aware of the history of the real Anastasia, of course, but I had never seen the animated movie. So […]
Easter in DC
For Easter this year Greg and I headed down to Washington, DC to visit his sister Katherine, her husband Dave, and their two daughters, E & W. I love taking […]
La Sirena
The first time Greg and I went to La Sirena in Chelsea we liked it so much we knew we had to bring my mom there when she visited. We […]
Tao
My mom and I both love sushi, so while she was in NYC I also took her to Tao. It is hands down one of the coolest restaurants we’ve ever […]
Afternoon Tea at The Plaza
There’s nothing more quintessentially New York City than having afternoon tea at The Plaza Hotel, so when my mom was in town I had to take her there. Afternoon tea […]
Skiing in Vermont
Greg loves skiing, so much so that he has a house in Killington, Vermont just so he can go up and ski whenever he wants. We’ve driven there a lot […]
Downton Abbey: The Exhibition
With my love of history, my love of England and my love of drama (ha), it’s no surprise Downton Abbey is one of my all-time favorite shows. I couldn’t wait […]
SSMAC St. Patrick’s Day Happy Hour
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We celebrated early this year with a Happy Hour hosted by SSMAC’s Junior Committee at St. James Gate on the Upper West Side. As you know from […]

Gnoccheria by Luzzo’s
My cousin Joe and his wife Corrie live in Austin, and when I was first interested in going to UT for college I flew down for a campus visit and […]
Tanner Smith’s
Sundays are for brunches, at least in New York City. Over the past few months I’ve gone to Tanner Smith’s twice for brunch, which is a significant amount of times […]
Thin Mint White Chocolate Popcorn
March always feels like the worst time of the year. The occasional nice day dangles before you like a tease, and just when you get your hopes up warmer weather […]
Quadrille Party Gras
After a wonderful Quadrille season (and an especially fabulous Quadrille Ball), our leadership team wanted to thank our Junior Committee for all of their hard work. So Andrew, Lauren, Taylor […]
Dear Evan Hansen
I’d been wanting to see Dear Evan Hansen since it first arrived on Broadway last year. But unfortunately for its entire first year, tickets at face value were just about […]
Burger & Lobster
For our Valentine’s Day celebration, Greg took me to the place where we had our first date, Burger & Lobster, in Midtown. While the original Burger & Lobster in London […]
