We had a fantastic time at RuPaul’s DragCon this past weekend, which took place at the Jacob Javitz Center in Midtown Manhattan. The event took place for the first time here on the east coast (it’s been running for three years straight in Los Angeles), and I have to say that they have clearly struck gold based on the sheer chaos and excitement that the entire building felt throughout the two days there.

You Just Won Brunch! My Roasted Chicken Apple & Kale Salad Recipe.
You get the dreaded invite. “Brunch. My place. Bring something to share – and a bottle of bubbly.” Ugh. What do you do? If you bring anything people actually want to eat you’ll get carb shamed. And lets not even talk about the shade that was thrown when your one unsuspecting friend brought something pre-made to the last brunch, even if it was from Dean and DeLuca.

“The Suitcase Under the Bed” Reveals Quite a Treasure
In my 3 plus years of experience covering productions at the Mint Theater Company, I have concluded that the barometer of their works range from good to great. I’m relieved to say that I’ve never walked away feeling as though my time had been wasted. If only I could give that same praise for every other production in this town, I’d be the happiest critic in Manhattan! [Read more…] about “The Suitcase Under the Bed” Reveals Quite a Treasure

New York Fashion Week Spotlight Designers: PAXYMA
While most of us were spending the last hurrah of summer at our beach houses (or our friend’s beach houses), those who work in New York’s fashion industry have been busy getting their collections finished for New York Fashion Week. For some, like Steven Hoffman and Ramin Paksima who will debut their PAXYMA collection at NYFW, it’s meant long hours in a small corner of their Astoria home, literally cutting each piece by hand themselves.

The Little Red Men Are on a Quest to be The Next Big Thing
Maybe I am a bit biased (as I am from this area), but Long Island has a massive history of producing some of the biggest music legends over the past sixty years. Mariah Carey, Billy Joel and LL Cool J are just three that are on this incredible list of artists who have shaped how music is today. Now, we are looking for the next big thing to change the course of how the music industry will be in the future. One that could potentially make those sorts of waves are a band named The Little Red Men, whose updated take on Indie rock could easily place them into the music stratosphere in a very short period of time.

The Multi-Dimensional Talents Of Poet, Rapper & Singer AllOne
It’s always good to be a triple-threat (or even a quadruple-threat) in any sort of field, especially the music industry, and finding new talent who posses three or four of these attributes can be a big deal that can lead to a massive career down the line. This is the hope for New York based poet, rapper, singer and writer Bruce Pandolfo, who goes by the name AllOne. With his fresh and unique take on how music is written, produced and brought out to the public, he does something that not many other artists today do which will hopefully translate to him being the next biggest thing in music.

Sen Sakana Blends Japanese & Peruvian Cuisine Beautifully
Sen Sakana is a fantastic new restaurant that may just be my favorite one that I have checked out in 2017 (and I go to a lot of great places, mind you). Fusion has always been a wonderful vocabulary word when it comes to culinary cuisine, and the blending of Japanese and Peruvian is simply delightful with what they are able to accomplish in their diverse and absolutely delicious menu.

A Black and White Summer in the City: A Photo Blog
They say that the environment affects the artist. Such as how WWI affected Hemingway and the South affected Faulkner. But I believe that the opposite is true. I think the environment as viewed through the artist’s eyes, or words, or lens, in this case, can be affected by the artist. [Read more…] about A Black and White Summer in the City: A Photo Blog
