A Reason to go above 30th Street....
Ok, so if you read this blog you know I only venture above 30th street for a few reasons! My hair and the 4 B’s (Bergdorf, Barneys, Bloomies, & Bendels)!! However, recently I discovered Krunch Pizza on 2nd avenue, between 51st and 52nd.
While NY has amazing food….it wasn’t until I found Krunch that I discovered a pizza place I liked (except for Adrians pizza bar in the...
The Hottest New Pub....
Up until recently….there wasnt much of a reason to go to 29th and Broadway, unless you wanted to buy some perfume at wholesale that is. Well now that has all changed with the opening of The Breslin Restaurant in the Ace Hotel.
From the owners of the Spotted Pig (one of RE-girl’s favorite hangouts and burgers) comes a new pub-style restaurant. With dark wood paneling, statues of random...
PERFECT WINTER-GETAWAY....
In the summer…its all about the hamptons. East Hampton, South Hampton, Amagansett, Sag Harbour…everyone seems to have a share!! In fact, summer shares have become like college for the late 20’s to the mid 30 something crowd. Now there is a new trend happening!!
With the temperatures getting colder and colder, summer tans fading, and the thought of flip flops and margaritas a...

Rooftop Happy Hour....
Now that all the rain has finally stopped, its time to go out and enjoy summertime in the city. Hello dirty martinis and rooftop bars!!!
There are so many good ones. Some that I really dig are 60 Thompson, Gansevoort, and The Empire Hotel , but my favorites for happy hour and meeting cute boys (I’m secretly convinced Murray Hill is full of them fyi) is Rare in the Shelburne Hotel.
While...

Everything Old is New Again...
Everything comes back in style…..once a place where artists and poets bartered their art in exchange for a meal, Minetta Tavern has undergone a transformation. Now women in Louboutins and men in skinny jeans flock to this modern-day speakeasy, slipping the host $100 bills to get a table.
Keith McNally who is responsible for Balthazar, Pastis, and Schiller’s has recreated another classic....
Cupcakes that will melt your mouth......
So I obsess over a lot of stuff and when I find something I like, well I want it all the time!! Luckily, I have a fast metabolism and can afford a few cupcakes every now and then.
Anyone who reads this blog knows that I love cupcakes, actually I don’t just love them…it’s really become an obsession. There is just something so cute and simple about cupcakes that brings me back to my childhood....

Fun on the Lower East Side...
Rooftop Pool? Check. Members only lounge? Check. Yummy Chinese Fare? Check. These are all the reasons why I am obsessed with the recently opened Thompson Hotel on the Lower East Side.
I can’t think of a better place to sneak into for a day a sunbathing and Bloody Marys. The Thompson Hotel on the Lower East Side makes me want to move in with its clean lines and industrial feel. My favorite part is...

Hot New Restaurant on the Lower East Side....
Two of my favorite cities, besides New York of course, LA and Miami come to the city with the new restaurant, Table 8.
Located at The Cooper Square Hotel (another favorite of RE-girl’s), Table 8 has just opened its doors and already there is buzz. Clad in tons of glass and leather, the atmosphere feels sultry. Boys…this is a great place to bring a date! Hang at the bar before a little...

The New Serendipity....
I have always been a fan of Serendipity: the frozen hot chocolates, the pink setting, and the fantasy of being a kid again, it captivates me.
As a downtown girl, who doesn’t like to go above 30th street, I was very pleased when I discovered Sweetie Pie. To me, it’s like a hipper, fresher version of Serendipity.
Sweetie Pie is like something out of candy land with pink banquettes, mirrored walls...

Da Silvano's Offspring...
I have long been a fan of Da Silvano and it is always on the rotation. Recently the owners opened up Scuderia, which is fastly becoming a new favorite.
Scuderia is across the street and is like a cooler version of Da Silvano with its rustic and casually chic vibe. If you love your comfort italian food, like spaghetti and meat sauce….then you will love Scuderia.
Also the scene is very...
Get Your Cook On....
So I have been looking for an excuse to wear my new leopard and hot pink apron for a while and now I have it, thanks to The Social Table. Unfortunately, I’m not as good in the kitchen as I am at Real Estate, which is why I usually have to rely on delivery and reservations!!
Thankfully, with the help of The Social Table I am getting better and on my way to becoming a domestic diva. Started by chef...
The New He's Just Not That Into You.....
I love a good book! Although with my hectic schedule, it often doesn’t allow for the time Id like to devote to reading. However, when I find something great I can’t and I won’t put it down!!!
Recently, I made a discovery!! Mark my words, its going to be the next He’s Just Not that Into You!! The book is called Flirtexting and the name says it all. I mean does anyone even pick up the phone...
Truffles in Tribeca....
For those who have been holed up in the same rental for some time with parquet floors and white appliances, its time for an upgrade and to make a move. Rental prices are lower than they have been in 6 years and this is the perfect opportunity to take advantage of these deals.
One of my favorite new deals is TRUFFLES TRIBECA. Located on the small and urban street of Desbrosses and Washington,...

If you’re looking for a place to house your guests or want to get away from your shoebox for the evening, check into The Cooper Square Hotel.
Recently opened on the Lower East Side, this place is going to give the Bowery a run for its money with hipper and more luxurious rooms. Think lush linens, an IPOD, 42in inch plasma, and 3 bathrobes. As soon as you check in, they serve complimentary...

All You Can Drink Champagne Brunch...
Pancakes and Champagne always make me happy…and at my favorite new brunch spot…you can indulge on both!! Thankfully my good friend Lucas introduced me to this place and after spending 6 hours there on a recent Saturday I am addicted.
Barbounia, located on Park Ave South and 20th Street is very asthetically pleasing with its light and airy feel. With tall columns, a feathery...
Hot New Sushi Spot in the East Village...
Being that I work on 13th and Broadway….I am always on the hunt for after-work spots.
The other day as I strolled down 13th Street, I noticed something new, Hea Restaurant. With big dark doors and lots of glass, the outside looked very cool. Once inside, the space was incredible. Spread out on 2 floors with a bar and lounge on the bottom floor and dining upstairs, the vibe is zen. Named...
Way Better than Cafeteria.......
I’m sorry, but I have just never been a fan of Cafeteria and I really don’t understand the hype. Personally, I think the service is bad and the food is bland.
However, the owners of Cafeteria just opened a new hip eatery called Delicatessen and this time I am actually a big fan. Delicatessen doesnt feel like the corner deli…its a bit more fabulous between the uniforms, which are...

A 24 Hour Spa....
I love anything that is 24 hours….it just makes my life so much easier not having to worry about things closing!! So I was naturally very excited when I discovered Juvenex Spa. I love it…after a long day of trekking my feet around NYC….I can go for a massage and hit the steam room at 11pm if I so desire.This place is genius for all of us busy New Yorkers.
Located in upper...
Perfect Place to House your Guests....
I’m all for visitors….however sometimes I prefer they stay in a hotel, rather than crash on my couch and drink my pellegrinos.
Recently opened, Room Mate Grace is the perfect place to house your guests and its so cool that you may want to hang out there too. This hotel is funky and different than any other hotel I have been in in New York. I was mostly intrigued by the pool and its...
