Gallery Mondays: We CAN Coexist
In the final minutes of the Canstruction NYC 2017 exhibit at Brookfield Place, I saw this amazing piece of can art called “We CAN Coexist”. I can’t stop thinking about it. Created by RAND Engineering & Architecture, the piece symbolizes a rainbow of differences. From the Jewish star, to Yin and Yang and the Cross…

Gallery Mondays: Freeport Spirits
I’ve been dabbling in a bit of historical fiction writing over the last couple of months. I recently wrote a short story about pirates, so when I came across this photo in my camera roll I decided it was fitting for this week’s Gallery Mondays. This seafaring scene was found on the wall outside of…

October Favorites: Obamas Moving to UES & Rihanna Drive
The cold wasted no time making an appearance at the end of October. Like, I know I was complaining that it was still summer during the first few days of fall, but jeez! Anyway, the month of October 2017 had a mix of fun music and pop culture news coupled with a few terrible events.…

Whether you’re trying…

Gallery Mondays: Chelsea Guitars
A couple of weeks ago, I walked past Chelsea Guitars and saw this awesome sculpture of a woman sitting outside the shop with a mini guitar in hand. It took me a while to realize this woman is Marilyn Monroe. Boy, I’m slow sometimes! Marilyn Monoe is wearing her infamous white dress from Seven Year Itch,…

Gallery Mondays: “Knickerbocker Ave” by Ryan Peltier
If NYC had an underground Halloween/macabre dance party, I think it would definitely look like Ryan Peltier’s “Knickerbocker Ave”. Especially if this underground party took place at a Brooklyn subway stop. “Knickerbocker Ave” is one of those subway art cards I can’t stop staring at. Whenever I look at it, I notice something more and more…

Gallery Mondays: Agoraphobic Gallery
As a Google Maps Local Guide, I was invited to visit Agoraphobic Gallery over on 39 Spring Street in NYC earlier this month. The gallery was quite interesting, as is the woman behind it, Jacqui Kenny, a.k.a. the Agoraphobic Traveller. Her agoraphobia makes it difficult to travel, so she peruses Google Maps street view as…

Wardrobe Wednesdays: Nicky Hilton at L.O.L. Surprise! Launch
Nicky Hilton is living the velvet dream. She wore a seriously cozy looking ruby velvet blazer to the L.O.L. Surprise launch on Tuesday, and it’s giving me all the fall feels. After looking at the blazer for a while it kind of reminds me of a royal’s velvet robe! Nicky Hilton paired the blazer with…

September Favorites: Maye Musk & “Underdog” by BANKS
September 2017 was pretty groovy. Besides the fact that NYC weather refuses to fully transition to fall, September was pretty good in terms of pop culture and entertainment. The summer ended with a splash of great music, which I can never complain about. Also, the fall TV premieres did not disappoint. Let’s get to my…
