Can I vent for a moment? I just got wind that one of my favorite childhood movies, Anastasia, is coming to Broadway. Believe me when I say, I memorized every line in that movie, I learned every song on the piano, and I literally reenacted every scene with my freakin’ Barbie dolls. I even spent…

Last month, my friend Bekki flew in from Florida to visit for a couple days during the election. After the new president-elect was chosen, New York City seemed more depressed than I’ve ever seen it in the past six years. But rather than looking as if someone had just kicked our puppy, Beks and I…

If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the past six years living in New York City, it’s that friends are everything. I’m lucky enough to have parents who will always be there to support me when I fall down and bruise my ass – both, literally and metaphorically – but if it weren’t for my…

Last month, I was invited by Komnata Quest to experience their newest escape room adventure here in New York City. Having seen people go through escape room challenges on shows like The Bachelorette (don’t judge me), it was something I’ve always wanted to try. So I was super excited when Alina from Komnata Quest reached out…

Blah, shame on me. With my life being turned on its ass lately and using all my time trying to stay afloat, I haven’t had the opportunity to do much blogging with Halela & 5th. But if you really miss me, you’re more than welcome to follow my writing at places like Tracy’s New York…

With such a hectic work schedule, I don’t have a lot of time to venture out around NYC during the day – in fact, I rarely go out on the town before 9pm. But when I started seeing all the #foodporn coverage happening with the Madison Square Eats food festival, I cancelled my weekend work…

My people may be from China, but I love me some K-Town in New York City. Even though Koreatown only consists of a single street that spans a couple blocks, there’s tons of cool stuff to check out (and eat) in the area. And just thinking about it gives me a huge craving for kimbap…

Okay, I promise this will be my last 30th birthday-related post. For a while, at least. (Random celebrations keep popping up all over the place.) The weekend after my b-day party, one of my bffs (Rae) took me out for a one-on-one brunch so we could catch up, rant about anything pissing us off, pig…

One of my favorite birthday treats this year was a classic New York City night out with one of my writing clients, Tracy from Tracy’s New York Life. And nothing is more classically “NYC” than a Thursday night out at a musical, followed by dinner at an iconic restaurant. Last fall, Tracy took me to…

On Saturday, April 9th, I officially entered the “Dirty Thirties” club. Like any other night out around the city, I knew it’d be fun – but my fabulous friends made it even better than I had ever imagined. For the first time all year, I actually took a three-day weekend off (workaholics and hustlas can…
