Han & Gia Explore Astoria

I recently had the chance to visit my friend Gia in her new neighborhood, ASTORIA! This was my first time really exploring Queens (besides ending up lost there on the wrong train). I jumped on the N train after work on Friday from Herald Square and made my way to her stop! Astoria is a …

Pietro Nolita: A Review

At the beginning of 2019 I created a NYC food bucket-list of all of the top restaurants around the 5 boroughs I wanted to try out while living in the city, based on taste, aesthetic, atmosphere and price.

4 Ways to style your Harvey’s Americana cross-body for 4th of July!

Getting my hands on this sold-out Harvey's cross-body was a spot of A-M-A-Z-I-N-G luck!

My First Time Inside A NYC Speakeasy

You hear about them a lot (or maybe you don't). Notorious New York City speakeasies-- exclusive, elusive and fancy. Places that are reservation only (if you can find them), or you'll get turned away because they are physically too small to house more than a few tables and the lines to get in are so …
