Farm-to-table is a concept that has become popular in and out of Manhattan, but did you know that farm-to-bar also exists? Secret Summer, which is the country’s only festival that celebrates the latter concept, returns this Sunday at The Foundry in Long Island City. Here’s why you and your friends should attend.
For the past few months, I’ve been seeing signs for “The SweatShed” at Crunch Fitness with an invitation to sign up for their classes there. I will admit, I was curious, but I figured I’d started a new workout routine and I was doing well with that, and things were fine.
The FOMO that I experienced from not attending BELLA New York’s Hamptons White Party this year was so epic that I’m still seething from all the fabulousness that I missed out on.
Wendy Williams has been a household name nationwide for ten years now, thanks to her popular daytime talk show. For many of us who have lived in the tri-state area, however, she’s been a legend on and off the radio since the late 80’s, as her “say it like you mean it” type of attitude and persona has helped get to where she is today.
Italy. For centuries, this crown jewel of the Meditteranean has inspired great works of art that have reached celestial heights. For Da Vinci, it was–among other masterpieces–the Vitruvian Man. Michelangelo gave us David and the Sistine Chapel.

The world premiere drama-comedy opens this Thursday at NJ Rep in Long Branch, New Jersey.

I have been enjoying a major love affair with the Flatiron district for many years now in New York City. At the same time, my love affair with Indian cuisine has been lifelong and has no plans of stopping. Junoon, which combines both love affair elements (Flatiron meets Indian cuisine) may just been the best Indian restaurant I’ve ever been to… no joke. Here’s why.
Don’t have anything planned for this weekend in New York City and need an event or two (or three) to spice things up a little? Check out what’s in stores in and around The Big Apple over the next three days.
I’m ashamed to admit this, much less post in on the internet. Yet it drives home a crucial point and I’m a critic who isn’t shy on voicing his opinion. When news of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s death emerged in February 2016, I felt a little gleeful. To many progressive thinkers, he represented archaic, stubborn thought who wielded his power against marginalized communities. I shared the same sentiment as NY Times columnist Maureen Dowd, who wrote in a 2003 opinion piece, “Antonin Scalia is Archie Bunker in a high-backed chair. Like Archie, Nino is the last one to realize that his tolerance is risibly out of date.”
