Swell Ice Cream Review

A few weekends ago, Jon and I went to Trader Joe’s to stock up on our favorites and wander through the aisles to see what’s new. We saw this Swell ice cream for only $1.99 a pint – that’s a major steal in Manhattan!! We couldn’t find any reviews online and are a little skeptical…

Easter Weekend in Michigan 2019

Hey friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend! I was so excited to go back to Michigan and see my family. I was really looking forward to a nice, relaxing weekend away from the city after my busy season. Jon and I flew home Thursday night and got in at about 8:30ish….

NYC Spring & Summer Bucket List

Hey friends! I’m back!! I survived tax season #5 and am back to the regularly scheduled blogs. This past busy season was my first with my new firm and it was a lot better than my last one. I only had to work two weekends, so it was really nice that I could still spend…

Hamilton on Broadway!

Ever since Jon and I have been dating, I’ve been DYING to see Hamilton on Broadway! I would jokingly ask him if we were going to see Hamilton every time I would visit. It’s one of the most famous shows on Broadway and the hardest one to get tickets to. This Christmas Jon surprised me…

Lyssy’s Eats: Mira Sushi

Jon and I have been trying so many new restaurants lately, and the latest one we tried was Mira Sushi in the Flatiron District. We were both very hungry after spending the afternoon at the Natural History Museum, and we both left stuffed! We first ordered some drinks and got the Spicy Tuna Pizza as…

The Natural History Museum – NYC

The weather has been pretty chilly in NYC lately, so Jon and I have been all about checking out new museums, restaurants, and coffee shops. This past weekend, we went to the Natural History Museum located in the upper west side of Manhattan. The Museum was very easy to get to, there’s even an entrance…

NYC 9 Month Update

Hi friends! Can you believe I’ve been living in NYC for 9 months already because I can’t!! It feels like I just got here. I genuinely meant for this to be a recurring post, but I realized that I haven’t posted an update since my 2 month update here. It’s definitely been the craziest 9…

Lyssy’s Eats: El Vez

This past weekend we celebrated National Margarita Day with some of our friends. We were a day late, but we didn’t care. We went to El Vez in the Financial District and had such a great time and meal. I started the night off with a Classic El Vez margarita and Jon got the Frozen…
