Fireworks at Coney Island Brooklyn, Rendezvous En New York

While everyone is outside in this belligerent, and disrespectful cold celebrating the new year, I am inside trying to keeping warm and trying to be introspective about what this year…Read More

SAVE and SHARE! I forced myself to be social yest

SAVE and SHARE!
I forced myself to be social yesterday and I'm happy that I did it. The weather was lovely and so was the company. I'm sharing a great idea for a date or a family outing. Read until the end for a discount on this experience.

I went on a dessert food tour in Hell's Kitchen with @likealocaltours we started at @littlepiecompany for a slice of pie @poseidonbakery , for their famous baklava, @amysbread for chocolate sourdough twist bread, @schmackarys for a choice of their famous cookies, and lastly at @huascarandco for a fresh cupcake.

The tour was a small group of six which I loved because I'm still practicing masking and social distancing, so I felt like I was keeping safe.

I satisfied my sweet tooth and, learned about the history of the neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen through our great guide Lara, along the way. It was so refreshing to visit the area around Times Square leisurely strolling and not be in Times Square assaulted by amateur linebackers.

Taking this tour was the highlight of my week and I would suggest that tourists and even native New Yorkers would get a lot out of it by tasting delicious new things, hanging out in a new neighborhood, learning interesting NYC history, and adding new favorites to your list to return to and share. Other tours are held on the High Line, LES, Williamsburg and more

To save 10% on this cool activity use the code LAL10 at checkout on their website.

A sobering thought for your Monday. We're all tigh

A sobering thought for your Monday. We're all tightening our belts in the face of crazy food prices, well at least the people I know are at this time.
This plate of avocado toast with a fried egg, that I had as a quick meal today would cost, no lie, between $15-30 depending on the restaurant and whether you add an egg or not in NYC.
The price difference of eggs 🥚and bread 🍞and avocado 🥑in the past year and a half is crazy 💸. Have you noticed these skyrocketing prices for these items specifically? Are you feeling the pinch when you go shopping? Let's chat. 😁

Happy new year 2023! This past week has been an ex

Happy new year 2023! This past week has been an experience, a very familiar one actually. I played tour guide yet again to family that was visiting NYC. They're ridiculously lucky as we all know. It didn't cost them anything but train fare and they got expert advice. This whole tour guide thing might be a lucrative venture. How do you entertain your visiting family members?

My love for coffee goes so hard that I crave it ev

My love for coffee goes so hard that I crave it even after dinner. Nothing else has the comforting feeling like coffee. I attribute my love for coffee to my Caribbean heritage, I grew up with @cafebustelo espresso and now nothing else will do. I can drink my coffee black, right before bed and still fall asleep. That's from drinking it with condensed milk as a child. Anybody else have this problem?

Two years ago the last public place I traveled to

Two years ago the last public place I traveled to was Grand Central Terminal a week before lockdown in NYC. Maybe, I'm just overly sensitive but it's feeling a bit like the city is reliving 2019 all over again but with blessing of testing and vaccinations.

The daily positive tests record breaking of over 20,000 this week really establishes that we as a society haven't learned much. And that's depressing.

The fact that the death of 800,000 people hasn't changed habits or people haven't tried to center others in their thinking is sobering. And this apathy is not just a NYC thing but a worldwide phenomenon. Believe me I understand pandemic fatigue but being fatigued is better than hospitalized in my mind.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't live life and stay in place forever, please don't misunderstand. We have to get the economy back on track and all that. But are we doing it safely and causing the least amount of harm while existing? Anyway, for me it's just been a week of deep thoughts.

What do you think?

Have you ever noticed, that when you have visitors

Have you ever noticed, that when you have visitors from out of town and you play tour guide that, you appreciate your city all over again?⠀
⠀
🗽Seeing NYC through fresh eyes and answering those questions are is something I actually enjoy.⠀
⠀
🗽Walking through the streets while cases are rising and finding open spaces to sightsee safely is another aspect. So it also takes planning.⠀
⠀
🗽Have you tried to sightsee while restrictions have been lifted? What precautions are you currently taking? As cases are rising again are you planning to fall back from your trips or are doing it with YOLO in mind? Are we still using YOLO?⠀
⠀
🗽I got to see a very empty Oculus and @onewtc from the ground of course (heights aversion) while almost empty by going later in the evening while tourists were in Times Square.

🗽I'm also using less crowded modes of transportation so that I can safely socially distance like @NYCferry and if I get luck you can time it to the sunset and get a bonus. ⠀
