By Cedric Vanhamme There was a time when saxophones and trumpets were the most powerful instruments in New York City. Those instruments began to fade with the rise of electronic music, but you can still be transported back in time by visiting a pure Jazz and Blues club. Here is a list of the Top-10 […]
By Stacy Liberatore For most guys, the goal for the night is to take a girl back to his place. I’m a bartender. Trust me, I see it all night long as guys try to close the deal. You’re not fooling the sober girl behind the bar. So what happens if you succeed? As a […]
If a New York City bar is on any list, you can safely assume it is over-priced. Dabble in spring and a rooftop bar, and the cocktail premium rises quicker than the summer temperatures. No one wants to spend $20 on a drink at 230 Fifth Avenue where the drinks are weak and the lines are long. […]

But sometimes, the wallet wakes up with a hangover, prevening you from going to your favorite brunch spot with friends. The next time that happens, […]
By Scott Hyatt I think I am in love with my spin instructor and I don’t think I’m alone. It’s easy to fall in love with those spin instructors. They have the best bodies, they’re confident and they’re reaching us when we are most vulnerable. It’s like they can reach into our subconscious and plant […]
By Cedric Vanhamme It’s a good time to be a bargain hunter in New York City. Spring cleaning means NYC thrift shops are about to get some of their best fashion donations of the year. New Yorkers are finicky. We want the latest styles and fashion, but we all know, our closets run out of […]
Who knew Kermit the Frog could be so poetic? New York – I love you, but you’re bringing me down like a rat in a cave, with minimum wage. New York – you’re safer and you’re wasting my time….. New York – you’re perfect so don’t change a thing….those are just a few lyrics from […]
