Gallery Mondays: Dancer at J. Hood Wright Recreation Center
Last week on Wednesday, I took a Strong by Zumba class at the J. Hood Wright Recreation Center in Washington Heights. To say that I was sore the next day is an understatement (thank GOD the next day ended up being a snow day!). When I walked into the room where the class would be…

Gallery Mondays: ‘Happy City’ by Peter Sis
Happy New Year! I snapped a pic of this giant eye-shaped subway art at 86th Street on the 4, 5, 6 line last January. The piece is part of Czech-born artist Peter Sis’ Happy City.

November Favorites: “Pyor” by Darius & HTGAWM Fall Finale
November 2017 was an emotional roller coaster. I went from dancing around my room to the month’s most danceable tunes to nearly bawling my eyes out over season finales. It’s no wonder that it took me this long to sit down and gather all my favorites in pop culture in entertainment for this post. Let’s…

Gallery Mondays: URBANIMAL Graffiti on AI Moving Express Truck
I saw another one of URBANIMAL’s creations on a truck near my job one evening a couple of months ago. I love seeing these unexpectedly pop up on trucks in NYC. This truck happened to be an AI Moving Express truck, and the art on it was both subtle and vibrant at the same time.…
