Living in Miami vs NYC: What to Consider Before Moving

Kara Thompson — Fri, 05 May 2023 17:22:43 +0000

If you’ve been a longtime follower or reader of the blog, you might know that in May of 2021, Matt and I made the decision to split our time between Miami and New York City. Having called New York home for 15 years, it was definitely an adjustment to spend half of the year in sunny, tropical Miami (the snowbird lifestyle is the best.) I had always dreamed of owning an apartment in Miami one day, so to check this off my bucket list was pretty surreal. Like any city, there are things I absolutely love and don’t like so much about both places. They’re two popular, growing cities in the U.S. that certainly offer some of the best experiences the country has to offer. And while they’re both popular vacation and girls trip destinations, they […]

How to Plan The Perfect Girls Weekend in NYC

Livia Boerger — Thu, 09 Feb 2023 11:15:00 +0000

For those who’ve never visited before, the prospect of planning the perfect girls weekend in NYC seems fairly daunting. There’s so much to do…and so little time! It’s called the “city that never sleeps” for the obvious fact that you can literally be doing something all day—everyday—for the rest of your life and still never get bored. As a self-proclaimed queen of all things NYC, I take special pride in putting together guides and lists for friends visiting from out of town, so I decided it was time to share all of my secrets with others as well! I’m here to digest it all and break it down for you: below you’ll find the ultimate 3 day NYC itinerary, plus lists including where to stay, what to do, where to eat (my personal fave), plus […]

The Absolute Best Hotel Bars in New York City

Kara Thompson — Thu, 29 Sep 2022 17:23:59 +0000

When you think of a vibrant, lively bar scene it’s likely that your mind goes right to New York. Whether you’ve visited the city or not, everyone knows that the nightlife here is unparalleled. From rooftop bars to sneaky cool speakeasies, the places to get a good cocktail in NYC are seemingly endless. However, there’s one particularly great spot to get a drink in Manhattan—a hotel bar. There’s something that feels uniquely special about hotel bars. The ambiance is rich, the drinks are perfectly crafted, and the bartenders are particularly attentive. Not to mention the fact that it’s easy to meet interesting people in hotel bars. After living in the city my entire adult life, I’ve done my due diligence of visiting New York’s most beloved bars (tough work, I know). To help you plan […]

My Weekend at the New York City Wine & Food Festival with Capital One

Kara Thompson — Tue, 02 Nov 2021 23:09:20 +0000

This post was created in partnership with Capital One. As always, I only work with brands that I genuinely love! It has been a little over a week since the weekend-long whirlwind of the New York City Wine & Food Festival, and as I’ve been going through all of my photos to add to this post, I’m somehow hungry all over again?! The Best Thing I Ate During NYCWFF I wanted to start out by sharing the best single bite of food I had over the course of the three-day event, but now I’m having a really hard time picking just one. Was it the chicken & cabbage dumplings from Nom Wah Tea Parlor? The chocolate babka from Breads Bakery? The perfect slice of DiFara Pizza? Or maybe it was the crispy cauliflower or the […]

Getting Married in NYC: Our NY City Hall “Wedding”

Lindsay Silberman — Sat, 12 May 2018 15:22:15 +0000

When my (now husband) Matt & I decided to have a destination wedding in Mexico, we realized that getting *legally* married South of the Border would be really fucking complicated. The process apparently involves mucho paperwork, and—for reasons that still remain unclear—you also have to get a series of BLOOD TESTS to make the thing official. Like…come again? Weddings are logistically complicated enough as it is—especially when yours is in ANOTHER COUNTRY—so clearly I was not having any of it. The easy solution for us was to get married at City Hall in NYC a month before our destination wedding in Mexico. (Fun fact: City Hall is not technically called City Hall, but rather the City Clerk—very sterile-sounding if you ask me.) I was totally into the City Hall/Clerk idea anyway; something about it felt very “New York,” you know? PRO […]
