As someone who is always interested in up and coming brands, primarily ones with an LGBT focus, it gives me a great sense of adoration when there is one in particular I really like a lot that has had some fantastic developments to them, all within a short time frame.  This can be said of the up and coming and booming clothing line Krave and Kulture, who just relaunched their website with four incredible new collections for the savvy & smart guy.

Allure Day Spa & Hair Design Lights Up Midtown East

by

I’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and in that whole process one thing can actually lead to another.  In this sense, it has do with an amazing spa location that I recently discovered last week.  I was asked to write an article on this app called LookBooker, which is essentially the OpenTable for Salons throughout NYC.  After writing the article, I glanced through what was available as I was looking for some treatments and a new spa to call my own.  One of the first ones that showed up was Allure Day Spa & Design, located in the heart of Midtown East and a mere two block walk from the 53rd/Lexington Avenue stop (convenient!).  Since discovering them, I have been back twice and really enjoy the experiences that Allure provides.

Make Your First Impression Count with MOO

by

You only get one chance to make a great first impression, so don’t waste your opportunity with boring old business cards. White cardstock with raised text? Yep, everyone has already seen that some thousand times or so. “Interesting” layout with a bright color? Yeah, we’ve all seen that, too. How about gold foil and raised spot gloss? Well, that’s only from MOO and their Tailored Collection.

The BBG Brings The Classic Steakhouse To Life With A Twist

by

Vegetarians aside (no shade), everyone loves a perfectly cooked steak.  Steakhouses in and out of New York are pretty common for us NYC and Long Island folk, yet a lot of them seem to echo the same type of menu without much differentiation.  Well, that all changed for me last night when I tried a brand new location called The BBG, located in the heart of East Williston.  The BBG, which is short for “The Butcher’s Bar & Grill”, takes the Steakhouse concept and elevates it to an entirely new level with its Mediterranean influence thrown in on the side.  It makes for a duality that really sang to us when we stopped by there last night.

Why View is Worth The Trip Out East to Long Island

by

As someone who splits their time between Long Island and Manhattan, I am always looking for what is the best of the best when it comes to the amazing culture that both parts of New York have to offer.  I found a hidden gem located out east in Long Island in Oakdale called View, and was glad that I did.  This seafood-based restaurant boasts a lot more than your average shrimp cocktail, and is a multi-purpose location that you can have an intimate night with your friends, or even marry the love of your life at.  Here’s how.
