New Year, New Commitment To You (And Changes To Our Posting Schedule!)

Found: New York’s Best Chocolate Chip Cookie
When I first moved to New York, I had a lengthy to-do list. An incredibly unusual to-do list. Most people can’t leave the city without hitting up the Empire State building or Statue of Liberty, going to a Yankees or Mets game, or doing classically New York things, like hailing a cab or eating $1…

Trying Something New: Going “Bro-Country” For A Night
There’s a dog on the stage, singers are swilling whiskey straight from the bottle, and my husband and I are definitely the only people in this 30,000-person arena who don’t know a single word to the songs they’re singing. In fact, we’ve never heard most of them before. We don’t even like country music. At…

What To Read Next: ‘Final Girls’ By Riley Sager
Sometimes you need a dark, decadent thriller. You know it’s not going to inspire any earth-shattering bits of wisdom or provide you with groundbreaking insights into the human mind. It’s just, well, thrilling, as you flip from page to page, rushing to outwit the author and figure out whodunnit before the big reveal at the…

“I’m Not Gossiping, I’m Venting” And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves
There’s that tension building up inside of you. With each frustration, it mounts. You tell yourself it’s not a big deal, it’s nothing, and then — bam! — you’re seething, and you’ve got to tell someone, anyone, what a colossal frustration you’re forced to put up with. Maybe that’s not you at all. Maybe you’re…

You’ve Got To Try This Sweet-Yet-Smoky BBQ Peach Chicken
I’ve never been peach picking. I only eat peaches two or three times a year, max. So it only makes sense that when a friend suggested we drive an hour out to a farm in New Jersey to fill baskets with peaches that’d go bad in a week if I didn’t eat them immediately, I…
