angle 31

today i had to go under the knife....  mole removed and i had to get STITCHES - first time EVER.  sorry if this is tmi for the blog.  i still think my dermo is a scam, but that's a separate conversation.


then my low from the stitches were brought to a new high - kardashian style - after grabbing a drink with some friends at the gansevoort park... 

angle 30

happy birthday miss lauren!!!  we went to the redhead in east village.  the shrimp and grits were soooo delicious!  

angle 29

"best chinese new year EVER!!!" - said guy A in the above picture.
these guys were really feeling the luck in chinatown this afternoon.  they scored mary's old dresser within 5 minutes of being out on the sidewalk.  nyc is a perfect example of another man's trash, is another man's treasure.  

angle 28

366 readers - did you know bennett has a SCOOTER??  how am i only finding this out now after 7 years of friendship?  these are the things you find when your friends move...and that brett has 12 pairs of jeans.  

angle 27

third clinton street i've seen this week - first my street in manhattan (duh), then clinton street in hoboken and then clinton street in brooklyn!!  it's everywhere!!  actually, if my reading serves me right (from "just kids") this is the clinton street that patti smith and robert mapplethorpe lived...
and not to take away from the clinton street sightings, but i thought these guys were great at the 14th street subway stop.  they were jammin' to wagon wheel.  

angle 26

amy invited me to go see anything goes on broadway with her dad and mike.  it was so so so good!!  girl crush on sutton foster - she is unbelievable!

angle 25

i've been dying to try bobwhite's lunch/supper counter that just opened up on avenue c - a little taste of southern goodness in my hood.  i got a few vegetables including "mom's tomato pie" and creamed kale.  delicious.  i shall return.

angle 24

good morning from hoboken!  the view of the city from the train station.  i will say...all you hobokener...you got it pretty good!  :) 

angle 23

in our team meeting today, everyone was talking about memphis, the musical - i just recently saw it over the holidays and it was amazing (highly recommend)!  and so appropriate, i walked by the theater on my way to the subway....click here for a taste.

angle 22

just hanging out at urban outfitters.... reading "hipster puppies" and there was miss isabelle.  rach and trev - i couldn't be prouder... hope you're getting royalties.  

angle 21

SNOW DAY!!!  view outside my window.  first snow of the winter!  finally!  


went to kelly clarkson concert at radio city and hurley's beforehand.  notice brett's picture is on the wall.  right next to scarlett johansson.  no big deal.

angle 20

meetings downtown... stumbled upon the freedom tower.  moments like this make you really reflect.

angle 19



SJP SIGHTING!!!!!  seriouslyyy people... i've lived here for almost 6 years and this is my first sarah jessica parker sighting.  she was entering the grace building across the street from bryant park on 42nd street.  i really tried my best to document... she's in the crowd of people in the top picture of the lobby. she was wearing a grey peacoat, with black hat and sunglasses.  she was a little thing... i'm pretty sure i was in her way.  big moment.  

angle 18

fox private movie screening tonight (i work for news corp, so we have access to take clients, etc.)  anyhow, after wine and delicious apps, we saw "we bought a zoo".  super cute!  highly recommend!  OH up to 5 subway rides (2 total today).

angle 17

operation: unlimited 30 day metro card begins today!  i am usually opposed to the unlimited card because i don't think it pays out, but since i'm going to be in town the next 30 days (or so it seems) then i'm going to give it a whirl.  the math works out that i need to make at least 46 subway rides in 30 days.  today i rode it 3 times (don't think this is common - just getting off to a good start).  

angle 16

it's platanos flameados!!  yes, if you can't tell, but these platanos are on FIRE.  bennett, lauren and i had a much needed visit to maz mezcal in upper east tonight.  sorry for the lighting on this one... you get the idea.

angle 15

sandra and my day o' fun... included manicures and massages. plus...
fish shopping in lower east side.  friends, some of you may know that i've been thinking about getting a fish.  i've decided i'm still not ready to be a mom.  

angle 14

matt's birthday celebration at diablo royale... some spicy margaritas... yummm...

angle 13

early dismissal at work today... got a much needed haircut (thanks to a groupon by dramatics).  and it's still light outside!

book club at mike and amy's... AND i got a sneak peak of their save the dates stamps with the engagement pictures i took.  check itttt

angle 11

my first trip to princeton for work...leigh, this one's for you!  

angle 10

every time at whole foods -- my game is to try and spend under $10 on that decadent salad/food bar.  however, everything always looks SOOO good, so i just pile it ON.  1.11 pounds and $10.28 later, i loose my game but walkout happy.  editor's note - i've never won this "game".    

angle 9

after a riveting bachelor with mary and jaime, swung by mamoun's on st. mark's for some shawarma and baba ganouj (remnants above).  please, if you're ever in new york...do me a favor, and check it out.  http://mamouns.com/     

angle 8

after church with sandra, brunch and a brisk walk with em and bailey, i got to round off the day video chatting with my sweet nephew (and sister).  luke is sick, poor thing... 

angle 7

gorgeous day for a run in east river park... didn't feel like like january, that's for sure!
then ventured up to brett and bennett's new hood in the upper west side.  encountered a man who walks his cat.  yes, a cat.  only in new york.  

angle 6

meredith and i enjoy some chimay in the west village...a post work, very extended happy hour... 

angle 5

as i was pondering my opening line for a big presentation tomorrow, this issue of of the metro was perfectly placed on the subway steps.  "i'm feeling bullishly optimistic".....ta da!!!  thanks for the inspiration, litterbug!  

angle 4

just a pit stop after heading to irvington for meetings.  it's a bright green building....no big deal.
