In 1995, New York City’s Veterans Day Parade faced a critical moment. The event, dedicated to honoring our nation’s veterans, was in jeopardy due to a severe lack of funding. The parade, a cherished tradition for decades, was at risk of cancellation, leaving many veterans and their famil...

Across the globe, nations strive to combat inequality in numerous ways and to varying degrees. Most often, however, those of us who reside in urban centers recognize that cities have a leadership role to play in this fight for equity — as 55% of the world’s population resides in urban ce...

A day of furniture shopping in my own backyard. Recently, I was talking to a design colleague and good friend of mine about how we both feel like we’re burnt out on sourcing from the same vendors, online, from our (home) offices. So we decided to plan a day to go in-person sourcing right in...

There are just some things you must do if you’re going to live in NYC for a year. These things are there for the taking, and if you don’t take them during this time, you probably never will. Things like attending an event at Carnegie Hall, eating at Katz’s Deli, or heading to the t...

New York City, the city that never sleeps, the melting pot of cultures, the land of dreams — it’s a place that has captured the hearts and imaginations of millions. But for those of us who have called this concrete jungle home for at least a few years, it’s time to have an honest c...

If you watched this year’s New York City Marathon, the most exciting part was the finish of the women’s race. Usually, somebody runs away from the crowd well before the finish line. By the last mile, it’s pretty clear who is going to win. But not this year. As the women turne...

Whatever you’re looking for in a gym, New York City and its surrounding boroughs has plenty of options to choose from. Granted, many of them are pretty expensive, and since living in this city is already costly as it is, spending an arm and a leg on a workout is not necessarily desirable. O...

I am a city girl, born and raised uptown in Manhattan (Harlem). When you grow up in an urban environment, here are some of the sounds in the city you may hear: Wake up to roars of the ambulance whizzing by your window The loud sirens and flashing lights of a police cruiser The exhaust re...

In the bustling heart of New York City, back in the early 20th century, the sky was a workplace. The Brooklyn Bridge, a marvel of engineering and ambition, stretched across the East River, a symbol of progress. Below, the city teemed with life, but above, a different story unfolded. George, a you...

New Yorkers take their books seriously — we treat our authors like celebrities, and have long since realized the power of a good read to make subway rides way less boring. That being said, it can be difficult and exhausting to weed through the plethora of independent bookstores in the city. Wh...

Everywhere you go in New York City is an opportunity to spend money. It is obviously also very expensive to live in the city and the cost of groceries and basic living things are always just a little bit more inflated than the rest of the world. To be frank, I haven’t done an excellent job &ld...

Didn’t sleep properly yesterday — drank a pretty much full cup of bitter Matcha tea, still don’t have almond milk or any kind of other milk or cream at the apt being cautious not to bring too much of stuff that potentially could go bad if I left the city for a few days. And yes, fo...

111 West 57th Street claims to be the skinniest skyscraper ever built. It has a height-to-width ratio of 24:1. The tower does stand out in the skyline as an extremely narrow building compared to the chunkier buildings of yore. Hong Kong pioneered so-called pencil skyscrapers during its building...

Last year, the city of New York unveiled a new logo to the displeasure of many New Yorkers. The only good thing about the logo seemed to be that it gave us all a new thing to hate. It was jarring to have a beloved icon ripped away from us so quickly. At first, I thought it was ugly — which it ...

Imoved to New York fresh out of high school. I knew relatively little about the city and not a single person who lived there. It was the most exciting and terrifying thing I’ve ever done. Prior to moving, I spent months researching which college to attend and the best option for housing. Re...

I was a young Ph.D. student, researching DNA science in the lab at INSERM unit 15 and exploring enchanting Paris in the streets. The city’s charm and elegance had a captivating allure, and I found myself lost in its beauty. One day, while I was wandering near the Seine River, a gentleman appro...

There are a lot of Jewish foods, especially associated with the holidays, that I love. Very few things in this world can compare to a good kugel or a bowl of my grandmother’s matzo ball soup. But latkes might just take the cake for being my favorite Jewish food. I mean, they are like a french ...
