What’s Happening In Manhattan This Weekend?
New York City, Manhattan more specifically, is a great place to be for so many things and there is endless options with what one can do for a weekday or a weekend. Even though we are supposed to be getting hit with 5-8 inches (and not in the good way, tee hee) of snow this coming weekend, it shouldn’t mean that we are going to keep ourselves locked in our apartments with Ramen noodles and episode 5 of Making a Murderer! Here is where we think you should go to this coming weekend for fun, entertainment, and more in Manhattan.

Where are the Best Pizza Slices in New York City?
New York City is synonymous with its Pizza, just like Peanut Butter is like that with Jelly and now Sarah Palin’s nutjob craziness is aligned with Donald’s Trump’s endless clown car insanity.

A Cold Day on Nostrand Avenue – A Closer Look At Brooklyn
On a cold Wednesday last week, I ventured out to Brooklyn. Admittedly, I have not spent a lot of time there but you can see the appeal as soon as you ascend the subway station stairs. You step out into the charm and angst which make Brooklyn known the world over, even outside of it’s attachment to New York City.
I was fortunate enough to be able to have access to a rooftop looking out towards Manhattan You can see the tip of the Empire State Building and some of the glitzier high rise apartments but it might as well been a world away. These photos, some are heavily edited for a vintage effect, only begin to scratch the surface. I hope to spend more time in the upcoming year exploring and documenting the unique (dare I say quirky?) beauty of Brooklyn.

Keep Warm in NYC This Winter With HONNS Gloves
Winter seems to finally be here, and with the season comes cold weather. And, since the low temps were late this year, a lot of us are completely unprepared for the upcoming months. You’ve got your coat and scarf, the bare minimums for staying warm, but what about your hands? Many people forgo gloves so they can text or scroll through Instagram, putting your hands at risk for dry skin, stiffness, and even frost bite. But you don’t have to choose between using your hands and keeping them warm anymore.
HONNS gloves are stylish, warm, and have touch screen friendly index and thumb fingertips. Each pair is handcrafted, made of lambskin from English tanneries, and curved to mimic the natural shape of hands. They slide on and fit like a glove should, without getting in the way or taking away your fingers’ mobility. And unlike fleece gloves that are warm until they get wet, HONNS gloves are naturally water-resistant.

Get Your Nails New Year’s Eve Ready
The holidays have wrapped up and the new year is rolling in, but what’s going on with your manicure? With just a week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, it is easy to let the candy cane mani last a bit too long or your current color chip off rather than start new. But you don’t need to find the time to go back to the nail salon to step up your nail art game for the new year. All you need is a quick swipe of a new color, or even a quick tweak to your existing color before you head out for the night.

The Saybrook Point Inn & Spa Boasts History, Luxury & More

Luckily enough, there is a great location right outside New York City that takes roughly 90 minutes to get to via Amtrak and has so many amenities and bonuses to it that you will leave feeling invigorated, satisfied and above all… happy.
