Fleet Week, which is coming up on May 25th-31st, is one of the biggest weeks in New York City for several different reasons. The flood of our amazing military personnel will be decked out in their crisp white outfits, which we can see adorned all throughout Manhattan for us to welcome them in, thank them for their protection of our country, and maybe even get a date or two (we can always be hopeful). What’s even better, two great dining vessels, Bateaux New York and Spirit of New York and New Jersey, are going out of their way to make sure that they and you have a great time!

Professor Thom’s Makes the Grade in The East Village
It’s not just a sports bar. As I approached Professor Thom’s at 219 2nd Avenue between 13th and 14th streets in the East Village, I noticed the sequence of numbers many will recognize from TV’s “Lost” painted on the second floor facade. I wondered why a bar that caters to fans of the Red Sox and Michigan’s Wolverines would sport the iconic sequence, but shrugged it off and walked inside a dimly lit ground level bar.

A Manhattanite in The Pocono Mountains: Welcome to Silver Birches
Now that the warmer weather has finally arrived, Manhattanites have zero excuses when it comes to getting outside and seeing what the city has to offer. Outside of that, you will find that for travel purposes, some of the best places to visit in the spring and summer time are a mere hour or two away, albeit train or car ride. A place that has always stuck out in my mind for tranquility, beauty, effervescence and above all enjoyment is The Pocono Mountains, which is a quick 90 minute drive away from the concrete jungle of Manhattan. After spending the past weekend there, all my thoughts about this beautiful part of Pennsylvania were realized and then some, especially with the first part of my trip- staying at the newly renovated Silver Birches, located in Hawley alongside the absolutely stunning Lake Wallenpaupack.

Take Me IN to the Ball Game — At The Grayson in the LES
April to October is my favorite time of the year. That’s right, y’all. Baseball season. I start watching the games during spring training and I watch them all the way through the last game of the World Series. Unfortunately, being from Texas, I don’t get to see many games with my team (RANGERS NATION!!) live up here in the city. And THAT is why we need sports bars. The Grayson, on 1st Avenue, just north of Houston, is exactly the place for someone like me. [Read more…] about Take Me IN to the Ball Game — At The Grayson in the LES
