Learning The Art of Sushi Making with Sushi by Simon

0
0
My husband is fascinating with the art of making sushi. He tried it once at home. They were big balls of rice that tasted delicious, but were oddly shaped and not very pretty. He was determined to figure out what he was doing wrong and learn tips to really perfect the technique. Lucky for me,

The Emotionally Powerful Journey into Hurt Village

I will admit straight up that I’m not really a theater person. I mean, I like theater when I go, but if I have some cash and a free night in the city, seeing a play isn’t something that ever comes to mind. The four or five theater performances I’ve seen since moving to the

An Honest Look into Life’s Tough Questions with the Lady from Dubuque

As my friends know, I make no effort to hide how much I love Broadway. I love dressing up for the theater, walking up the grand staircases, taking my seat among hundreds of other musical lovers. Some productions I’ve loved enough to see four times, in three different cities and two different countries. But despite

‘No Place To Go’ Makes Joe’s Pub The Place to Be

Not too long ago I was walking through the morning crowds of the NYC subway, walking against the tide. This realization wasn’t overlooked by me because in comparison to those walking past me, with focused determination of having somewhere to be, I on the other hand had no real place to go. The sudden memories

The signs of summer are starting to pop up in NYC, one of which is the opening of Trump Soho’s Bar d’Eau opening officially today for the 2012 summer season. I recommend checking out this exclusive urban retreat in downtown Manhattan, located on the 7th floor of the hotel featuring a 6,000-square-foot outdoor pool deck.

A Romantic Weekend Getaway at Mohegan Sun in CT

My husband and I have been married for nearly 21 years, and are still as madly in love as ever, but we rarely get to indulge in actual romance. We have two teenagers and a 9-year-old, and we both work. Not only that, but he travels constantly—so constantly that he just hit the million-miles-flown mark

W Hotels around the country are celebrating PRIDE this year! W Hotels has always been a major supporter of LGBT causes, so it’s only fitting that they would have some of the most creative ways to celebrate gay pride around the country. Here are some details on packages being offered at various properties: NEW YORK

Date Night at The National NYC

This year, I wanted to make sure that I did something really, really special for the man that I adore and my best friend- and so special I did. Last time I was in NYC celebrating my son’s birthday we stayed at The (fabulous) Benjamin hotel. We had a blast and the kids loved the

A NYC Evening With the Cast of Golden Boy on Broadway

I have to admit, I’m a sucker for a boxing drama. I have trained in kickboxing, so it appeals from a knowledge of what it’s like to face down another in a direct physical contest, but also because there’s something about boxing that evokes the original American spirit, especially in New York City’s industrial age.

A New Pair of Kinky Boots Struts Down Broadway

0
0
As a born-and-raised, worn out and jaded New Yorker, the word kinky doesn’t scare me. It doesn’t shock, surprise or faze me—even if it’s in the limelight that is Broadway. Now, if you add some shiny boots and composition from Ms. Unusual herself, Cyndi Lauper, then that’s another story. Or should I say, Broadway musical.

The LCL: New Bar & Kitchen at The Westin New York Grand Central

I am always looking for new places to eat in NYC because it’s fun and because people are always wanting to try something new when they visit here. When those new eateries pop up in parts of town where good eateries are so hard to come by, even better! The Westin New York Grand Central

It’s been over a year now since my site name changed from NYCity Mama to Girl Gone Travel. Yup, I’ve expanded my horizons and had adventures beyond the boundaries of my hometown. But, every once in a while, I go back to the basics of why I started writing and sharing NYC with my kids

Big City Flavors with Small Town Charm (Restaurant Review)

One of the things I am most enjoying about my life in New Jersey is experiencing what happens when wonderful talents leave the bigger cities across the country and set shop in the smaller towns transforming communities into celebrated food destinations. Cranford, NJ is a small town about 40 minutes west of Manhattan and named

Experiencing a citizenM NYC Hotel Stay

There was just no way that my husband and I were going to take on the new school year without rebooting. No. Way. So we did what we always do when we need to get in touch with our more romantic, more fun selves. We left our kids for a night away in New York City.

Ice Skating in The Pond, Bryant Park, NY

Bryant Park is one of my favorite smaller parks in NYC.  I have written about it here before.  It is the main location of every year’s Fashion Week , and of many more events year round. But in the Winter especially, the park is transformed into a Winter Wonderland, and The Pond is created hosting […]

While on our latest fabulous date-retreat, and after our NBC Studios tour, my husband and I headed over to Rockefeller Center. We had passes to go ice skating at the rink, but the heavy rain outside had forced the rink to close for the day. We walked through the lower level of Rockefeller Center, where […]

A New York City Moment at Bryant Park Grill

Recently my darling friend Jennifer Vides came to NYC. As a lover of LA, who felt “eh” about New York, she was the perfect person for me to hang out with because I knew I could probably, maybe, possibly, turn that “eh” into a “wow”. The plan was simple. Dinner and drinks. But I wanted […]

Down at the tip of 125th street in Harlem, about a block away from the water’s edge is one of New York’s bar-b-que gems, Dinosaur BarBQue. I discovered this place a few years ago when it first opened in the area, at a different smaller location nearby, and though it’s one of my favorite bar-b-que places in […]
