When people refer to New York City, the island of Manhattan is what most locals refer to. Sandwiched by multiple bodies of waters, several counties, and some of the most beautiful bridges in the world, Manhattan is where the heart of New York City beats!
Many eateries in New York City have come and gone over the years. Luckily, though, some have stood the test of time and have become staples of the Big Apple. One place in particular sits in a cozy corner of Little Italy at the corner of Grand Street and Mulberry Street. A place chock full of hot coffee, cool desserts, and full tummies! For more than 120 years...
Fans of this blog probably already know how much I love the land down under. From the people, the animals, the sports fans, and the food, I am very fond of Australia. And lately, I’ve noticed how New York City has been embracing the flavors and tastes of this exotic land. From the meat pies at the Tuck Shop in lower Manhattan, to the dishes and vibe at The...

Formerly the headquarters of the Greenwich Savings Bank in New York, the Haier Building is one of New York City’s lesser known structures, but it is one of the more elegant in its design and history. Originally, the Greenwich Savings Bank, which was based...
“Who’s that, a kicking it down the street? Causing a stir? Who’s that, I know that you’re wondering, that’s her! That’s her, that’s her, that’s her, that’s her!” Admit it, when you walk past 30 Rockefeller Plaza, you just can’t help but feel like sweet, yet odd Liz Lemon. Whether you have a...
One of America’s most famous train stations can be found in the middle of downtown Manhattan at the corner of 42nd St. and Vanderbilt Avenue. That iconic station is Grand Central Terminal. Since 1913, Grand Central Terminal, or just Grand Central, has been providing commuter rail service to New Yorkers, natives of upstate New York, and natives of Connecticut...
I have found a beautiful oasis in the heart of midtown Manhattan. A place that makes me feel homesick for my other favorite place on Earth. No, not Disney World or Cedar Point. A place where kangaroos are on money, rugby fans revel, and coffee is served strong with a cube of lamington. A place where there’s a Safeway on the corner and a Woolworth’s...
