Up until this past week, I had no idea there was a section of Manhattan called Turtle Bay. Seriously! Turtle Bay is technically on the east side of Midtown Manhattan. It extends from either 41st or 43rd Streets to 53rd Street, and eastward from Lexington Avenue to the East River’s western branch, facing Roosevelt Island (Thanks Wiki!). With my knowledge intact, I was able to discover a gorgeous and brand new hotel on 47th between 3rd and 2nd that is a must for anyone this holiday season and beyond. This location is called The Bernic, and after my experience there this weekend it is definitely a place you are going to want to check into.

“A Merry Little Christmas with Megan Hilty” at Joe’s Pub- Review
Megan Hilty is not fat. After opening with a spirited Jingle Bell Medley (“Jingle Bells”, “Jingle Bell Rock”, and “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”) at Joe’s Pub on Saturday night, Hilty remarked, “Wow!
