I never thought I would see a day where a major basketball team and delicious donuts would find some sort of an epic pairing, but it can actually happen! Case in point: this past Friday, the world famous Harlem Globetrotters paired up with Entenmann’s for National Donut Day, where they performed in the heart of Times Square and gave thousands of donuts away for the celebration!

A Culinary Hail Mary Pass- Strawberry and Ricotta Pasta!
Hot as bowls. No, you read that right, and it was just that hot six years ago on the July Saturday morning when I gave my first live, farm-market cooking demo. It was so hot I had to ice down my salad bowls so the farm-fresh greens wouldn’t wilt on contact. [Read more…] about A Culinary Hail Mary Pass- Strawberry and Ricotta Pasta!
Bornholm Brings the Danish Concept of Hygge to Brooklyn
Hygge is a Danish word that roughly translates into a feeling of coziness or contentment.

Lantern Hall Brings a Modish Level of Swankiness to East Williamsburg
Brooklyn is (almost) the new Manhattan, with more people flocking to the bar/lounge scene here than ever before. There is a different air there when referring to a night out, and that may stem from the less congestion one may feel when they enter a Brooklyn establishment. Taking that aspect into consideration along with the people in Brooklyn being less stuck up (maybe) makes people more comfortable and relaxed when they cross the bridge. Lantern Hall is one of those reasons to cross said bridge. [Read more…] about Lantern Hall Brings a Modish Level of Swankiness to East Williamsburg

Blue Fin Provides a Seafood Oasis in the Middle of Times Square
Blue Fin is one of those rare spots in Times Square that doesn’t make you feel like you are in Jumanji and running away from as many tourists as possible just to get to the 1 train. You walk inside and instantly feel like you are transported to some serene and elegant area of the city, where seafood is the name of the game and they are kings in terms of what they are able to do with each dish they provide. I stopped by there last week and was quite pleased with the entire experience. [Read more…] about Blue Fin Provides a Seafood Oasis in the Middle of Times Square
Catching Up with Handsome Grooming Expert Pete Karjalainen
Pete Karjalainen has had a lot happen to him over the past three years since we last spoke with him back in the winter of 2014. He successfully transitioned into work in his first barber in Washington D.C. and has now gone full throttle in the men’s grooming business with his own line of beard care products simply called Barber Pete. Pete is somewhat of a chameleon of sorts in that his colors always change in terms of the career path he is taking, but each have shined bright in their own ways, and this new one might be his brightest yet.
