Lower East Side: Indie Clothing and Jewelry Stores, Macarons and Stanton Social
I actually went on this walk before my Central Park walk, but I couldn’t for the life of me find the business card of the first place I went to (it was an unplanned stop), so I’m only writing this…

Astoria, Queens: Igloo Cafe, Astoria Park, and Zenon Taverna
This is my first “walk” for the year (I used quotes because it was actually a drive), and since I’ve missed writing about New York, it’s only fitting that I write about one of my old neighborhoods. This walk was…

Elements of a Korean Drama
This isn’t a walk, as you can probably tell from the title. But making the list amused me, which I guess is what this blog is all about. As you all know, I love Korean Dramas, but I wanted to…
