Sweet Tooth - People's Pops
On a hot summer day a nice cold sweet treat is necessary to cool down and that’s where People’s Pops comes in. I’ve seen them around the East Village with their small pop up but now they are all over the city. I happen to visit the one by Madison Square Park and decided to check it out for myself.
I opted for the raspberry pop and all I can say is that you can definitely...

Sweet Tooth - Puddin' Shop
Heard about this Puddin’ shop in the East Village and thought I would take a pit stop with Denise of dee Cuisine to check out the hype.
They offer a wide array of flavors and when I asked what was recommended they said butterscotch or rice pudding. Denise opted for the rice pudding and I for the banana in the mini sizes.
The banana pudding was a bit too sweet but you can taste...

WatchFoodie Quickie - Channeling Andrew Zimmern
One day at work my co-worker and I were just chatting about food and he showed me this amazing video and even let me share it with you (thank you John!). I am slowly entering the world of bizarre foods a la Zimmern but John has already mastered it from his trip to Korea where he got to eat a live octopus. This is on my to-do list and hope I can be as...

Cookbook Confessions - How to Make a Frappe
The first thing I learned as a little girl when I was living in Greece at the tender age of 9 is how to make a Frappe. If you have ever visited Greece you know nothing will get done until they are done with their Frappe and cigarette. With that being said I make a mean frappe and thought I would share how to make one for yourself - perfect iced cold coffee for the summer and to transport you to...

If you have a sweet tooth and a hankering for high quality chocolate then you should take a quick pit stop at the Vosges Haute-Chocolate boutique in SoHo. Offering a wide selection of fine chocolates with unique flavors such as chiles, bacon, Indian curry powder and so much more.

Fashion Quickie - Classic Pearls
Pearls are essential for any girl’s jewelry box. It’s a classic piece that will last a lifetime and just makes you feel feminine and brings a sense of sophistication to any outfit.
I bought these pieces from Bloomingdales and although I’m not a major fan of the color pink, I do love how it has a slight hue of it that was perfect match to go along with my wedding dress....

Foodie Quickie - Lunch at Mile End
Again I went through Madison Square Eats (convenience and quite frankly good food) and felt like getting a sandwich and Mile End fulfilled that craving.
So as you can see the menu is short, sweet and to the point just the way I like it. So my husband and I got both sandwiches so we can have half of each and a potato salad.
The smoked turkey was tender and had good flavor especially with...

Racked National just shared how Jane Aldridge joined Pinterest and acts as a certified pinner in favor of scrunchies. Every time I think of scrunchies I think of this scene from Sex & the City. What’s your verdict on the scrunchie.. do or don’t?

Foodie Quickie - Lunch at Red Hook Lobster Pound
I’m sure you’ve noticed I’ve made several stops already at Madison Square Eats just because it’s right there in front of me and I can’t resist good food.
This time it was at Red Hook Lobster Pound to get a lobster roll. I decided to amp it up with the Lobster Roll B.L.T. The surf-n-turf sandwich on the go includes lobster, bacon and apple chipotle mayo. Between...
