There is nothing to cheer you up during the cold, sad days of winter (especially THIS winter) quite like a Broadway show. Especially when it’s the award-winning show Kinky Boots. It’s perfect for ladies, gentlemen, and “those who are yet to make up their minds.” You’ve probably heard of it on Broadway, but haven’t made it to getting tickets yet. Listen, if you don’t see this show before it’s gone,… Keep Reading
Last weekend I tried something new for training (as I’m notorious to try crazy new athletic things like aerial yoga, tree climbing and bouldering…). Somehow, I’ve never participated in one of those mud runs -you know, where you literally jump in pools of mud – and when I was invited to the Poconos to try one (and we all know the Poconos is my happy place), I couldn’t resist seeing… Keep Reading
Usually I save movies for Apple TV and my couch, but last week we decided to beat the heat and head indoors for an icy cool afternoon in the Ice Age for a sneak peek at the latest summer blockbuster for kids. The newest film in this series, Collision Course is now in theaters and here’s why you’ll wanna grab some ice pops and watch it will the kids! What… Keep Reading
Let’s be honest, our little urbanite children are growing up a bit soft. I realized this the other day when I was adventuring out in the middle of no where with Max myself and we had the chance to stay at this gorgeous bed and breakfast. It was so obsolete of existence that they didn’t even have wifi or cell phone service. THE HORROR. All they had was one lowly… Keep Reading
It’s that time of year again! The holidays are quickly closing in on us as we see trees going up, ice skating rinks opening, and holiday shops popping up. Being a train addict, Maximo’s obvious favorite exhibit (that he looks forward to every year!) is the Holiday Train Show at the New York Botanical Gardens. Not just for kids, this amazing display of NYC landmarks – made completely out of… Keep Reading
I’ve referred to it before as “the itch.” That feeling you get that just keeps nagging you, and Benadryl cream can’t help. Maybe it’s just my country roots, but there just comes a time in every New Yorker’s life when they have to escape the damn city. I have been here six years now, and I love the concrete jungle and all it’s less than perfect moments (such as someone… Keep Reading
No one paid me to say this – Hudson Valley NY is one of the most beautiful places in the world. And I’ve seen quite a few places. The greatest secret about New York City isn’t the food and culture you’ll find among the city streets – it’s all the amazingly beautiful and historical places to visit surrounding it. From the Vanderbilt Museums in Long Island, to the Hampton’s (West… Keep Reading
Peep! Peep! Thomas the Tank Engine is steaming his way around the country this summer on his annual Day Out With Thomas Tour and this year he’s celebrating 70 years of friendship with his friends! That’s right—you and the kids can jump on the real steam engine pulled passenger train for a tour of the countryside! Of course, Maximo loved it last year so we’ll be going again this year… Keep Reading
If you happen to be walking on 19th Street and 10th Avenue right under the High Line and see a random, suburban-looking house that doesn’t seem to belong in New York City, you might want to walk over and investigate. Yayoi Kusama’s “Give Me Love” installation is hiding behind those inconspicuous walls at the David Zwirner Gallery in Chelsea. It’s super kid-friendly and we guarantee you’re going to want to… Keep Reading
One of the best things about living in NYC is that I can wake up in the morning and think – what haven’t we seen and what should we go explore today? Yes, I do have the best job in the world where I actually have to go and do this (twist my arm), but some days, spontaneous adventure is always the best. Before Max, I was known to do… Keep Reading
