A Millennial’s Defense of Leisure Reading

March 14, 2017.Reading time 4 minutes.

The one-and-done rule can work for an array of situations—checking out library books is not one of them. Honestly, I have more discipline window-shopping in Le Marais in Paris compared to when I walk into the local library. Once I walk through the entrance of Wilton Library, I experience a Bookworm Blackout for roughly […]

I’ve been waiting for a solid Kygo single for way too long. Whenever I listen to this song, all I can picture is being out somewhere in the Upper West Side at 3 am, sipping on a glass of Woodford Reserve before starting an impromptu dance party. This is will be a great song to […]

48 Hours in Paris, France

February 23, 2017.Reading time 6 minutes.

Being back in the City of Light after three years made me ask myself how I was able to leave. It was like getting back on a bike after not riding for a while—it takes a second, but soon the motions come naturally. Put up the kickstand, push, adjust yourself as needed, then you’re good […]

Summers, a Spot of Sunshine in Brooklyn

February 22, 2017.Reading time 2 minutes.

Nothing like summer-lovin’ on a spring-like day in Brooklyn…in late February My friend Cara and I were headed to Brooklyn from the Upper East Side when she got called into the hospital to work on a case. While I waited to hear back from her, I hopped onto the L train, hopped off at Bedford […]
