Ghosts do not exist. It’s a scientific fact. That said, if I wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, I always check in the bathtub to make sure that dead lady from The Shining isn’t there. And I will never, ever play that Bloody Mary game. Ever.
Of course, some people [...]
Mother’s Day is upon us again. And, whether you’ve had your brunch reservations made months in advance or you forgot and are seriously debating whether that “Mothers Day Roses Shipped 4 Free” spam email you got is legit, it’s time to sit back and thank your mom for all she’s done.

One of the benefits of working for a multifamily publication is that people actually seek out my advice when looking for an apartment. My brother recently got a job in Manhattan, so I was helping him look for an apartment. And after going back and forth about a place (and literally going back to a [...]
Yesterday I went to a concert right after work. Though it was one of my favorite bands (Eve 6, in case you were wondering. The ’90s are totally back.

There’s an old Seinfeld episode, “The Wig Master,” where Jerry is guilted by a salesman to buy a blazer, only to try to return it “out of spite” when he feels slighted by the salesman. Why am I thinking about a sitcom episode from 16 years ago? First of all, reruns of Seinfeld are shown all [...]
There’s just something about a man in uniform that makes me feel safe. (It’s why Fleet Week in Manhattan is one of my all-time favorite holidays. Well, that’s one of the reasons.

Moving to a new apartment is one of the most stressful things you’ll ever have to do. Besides, you know, raising a teenager. Or getting fired. Or meeting your in-laws for the first time. Or figuring out what color you want for your manicure (seriously, there are at least 50 shades of pink that look [...]
Sometimes with apartments you luck out with features and amenities, and get a pretty cool place. But don’t you ever wish you could cherry pick every item? TV and movies have some of the coolest and most interesting ideas about what would make a perfect living space (and have some pretty awesome apartments as a [...]
