What do you guys think? Pretty accurate? I can't remember the last time I drank drank in LA (as in go out to a bar/lounge, not just have a beer or two with dinner...

We were extremely fortunate in the wake of Sandy. While the vast majority of our friends who reside in the area lost electricity, water, or both (a big thanks to social media for keeping everyone updated), we made it through the hurricane without much of a fuss, and are happy to report that we, as well as our family who live in the area, are all safe and sound. Just how lucky were we? Our damage report only consists of two rooms that lost electricity (yeah...

In my pre-baby days, when I worked full-time as a marketing coordinator, my office was just one block from the famed Macy's in Herald Square. Sure, I hated the extra tourist traffic and the madness that ensued every holiday season, but I sure loved peeking at its beautiful window displays with each passing month. I also remember hopping on the subway on my lunch break during the holiday season in order to take a short stroll down midtown Fifth Avenue — where all the luxury stores reside — so that I can check out their fantastic window displays while munching on a bag of roasted chestnuts. (In an alternate life I would have liked to be a store window display decorator. In...
