Hi friends, welcome back and come on in! Jon and I have been busy making our new apartment feel like home and I’m finally ready to share an updated tour. Our goal was to make it feel as much like a home as possible and not fall into the mindset that we’re just renting so…
Hi friends, welcome back and happy first day of spring! As with many of you I am ready to say goodbye to the dreary, cold winter weather and ready for some sunny, spring days! Each year I make my seasonal bucket list (Spring 2022 Bucket List) and while not much changes on the list, it…
Hi friends, welcome back! In honor of St. Patrick’s Day Friday, I thought it was fitting to share the iconic St. Patrick’s Cathedral. This church is named after the patron saint of Ireland and the seat of the Archdiocese of New York. This gothic cathedral is massive and takes up an entire block between Madison…
Hi friends, welcome back! You may recall from my 2023 Bucket List that one of my goals was to dine at Don Angie. This West Village restaurant opened in 2017 by a husband-and-wife team with a passion for Italian comfort food. The restaurant earned a Michelin Star in 2021 and their pinwheel lasagna is one…
Hi friends, welcome back! As you know, we moved up five floors to the 45th floor in our building last fall and were nervous about leaving our uptown views behind. We went from north and west facing, to east and south facing. As is usually the case, our worrying was in vain because we love…

Hi friends, welcome back! After living in NYC for almost five years, I finally made it to the Museum of Modern Art. I’m not sure what we were thinking, but Jon and I decided to go on a chilly Saturday afternoon, and clearly everyone else had the same idea. We didn’t have any issue getting…
Hi friends, welcome back! A few weeks ago Jon and I were treated to our second omakase experience at Genki Omakase. This Noho restaurant offers a 13-course tasting menu for $78 or a 17-course tasting menu for $98. It is also BYOB, but we were fine with our sparkling water. We were very excited to…
Hi friends, welcome back! Not much is new since my last What’s Up post. We’ve been enjoying laying low, trying a few new restaurants, celebrating Valentine’s Day, attending a Michigan State Basketball game, and visiting the MoMa. We've been embracing the slower times and focusing on getting the apartment decorated, planning our future travels, and…
