Ten Things to Do In Williamsberg, NY


 Willamsberg is home to a vibrant technology hub and 10 to do while in the "Berg."

1. Brooklyn Brewery is home to the finest craft ales around. You do have to buy "beer coins" to purchase beer and they do have walking tours. Second, Friday Nights you can "Order In" which means you can order a pitcher of there finest and have food delivered to you at the Brewery as you make new friends, all the tables are like pinic style benches, which fosters community.

2. Chocolate!! Everyone Woman Craves a Little Piece of Chocolate.
Mast Chocolates: You can find Mast Chocolates at finer retailers, I have the cookbook that I bought from Crate and Barrel last year. They also have walking tours of the factory and samples as well. You take home a box of there delious chocolates.

3. Brooklyn Bowl:
Brooklyn Bowl is a hip place for people to hang out have a beer and pizza and battle for bragging rights. This place is for the unprentious hipster who happens to just close a deal with a leading VC.

4. McCarren Park:
This was the place this June for the Vh1 Make the Band competition. This park is huge and if you want to take Fido for a run, this is just the place. Also, if you want to catch some rays this is the place as well.

5. Wythe Hotel:
This is an uber chic Hotel, step inside and you would feel as though you are in any W Hotel in Manhattan. The rooftop has panoramic views of Manhattan and the cocktails are great. Also, if you need a perfect brunch spot I highly recommend the leek and goat cheese omlet. Don't get too freaked out if you go into the bathroom and see a person from the opposite sex, they have unisex bathrooms.

6. Pies and Thighs:
As a Food Network junkie, this place was featured and of course I had to try it out. The chicken biscuit is awesome, chicken breast with honey mustard and a drizzle of hot sauce, and the pies--key lime and berry so awesome. Must try....

7. Brooklyn Flea Market
On Sundays you can get anything from Vintage Clothing to the newest designer who literally designed his own clothes and handbags from his friend loft. Flowers from furniture the Flea is a totally a persons paradise.

8. The Nordic Word for Buffet: ( I can't spell it!)
This is a foodies paradise! Several food items that have made it to the catalogs of Dean and DeLuca and Williams Sonoma came from this place, you can get authentic Swedish pickled herring, Pigs in the Blanket, and Crepes with Nutella from this place, which is totally awesome.

9. Co-Working Spaces: Several Co- Working Spaces have cropped up in this town trying to beat Manhattan rents, you can be the next Etsy, which was started out of a loft somewhere, where the co-founders bartnered rent until they became profitable, true story but the landlord walked away with 10 million dollars, company now earns 2 billion a year.

10. The famous G train, transportation to these places are so accessible by the G train.

Cheers to venturing into Hipster territory!

Top 5ive Online Sites

 I am all for online shopping, click, click... Today, I am choosing the Top Five sites for online shopping all for very different reasons. 1. Gilt.com  Everyone has heard of them by now, the reason why they snag the top spot is for "Gilt City" offers, Gilt Taste Gilt Home, and of course Gilt Women offerings. "Gilt City" offerings are truly one of kind experiences, and the deals that I have gotten in on, were well worth the money. One deal was a Book Party for Peggy Post at Michael C. Fina, not only did participants get the New Book on Etiquette by Peggy Post, participants where given a 15% discount at Michael C. Fina and the experience of a book party with Peggy Post. "Gilt Taste"  I planned my entire gratitude party using the majority of findings on Gilt Taste, the pricing, shipping charges, and scheduled date of delivery were all fair and accurate. "Gilt Home" offerings I used for my party favors with their candle blowout sales and c

Waterford or Lenox Anyone??

Hope everyone has recovered from budgeting 101, yesterday. Today, we enter the fine world of crystal and china. You know the stuff that your girlfriend puts on her bridal registry, gets it, but serves you on paper plates. Anyway, one day I was scouring around the Internet to price some crystal flutes. I came across a great, great deal! In the world of crystal and china- Bacarat- the most famous and expensive, waterford.com , and  lenox.com The price points can run from 5,000.00 to a basic Bacarat vase to 150.00 for a leaded crystal flute from waterford.com . In terms of china, my sister's  lenox.com full service china set that I have yet to eat off, which was 10 plus years ago, cost about a month's rent. Anyway, back to the deal-- I was on the  waterford.com site which was absolutely breathtaking, then I noticed the discontinued section, click, click-- 4  waterford.com flutes for only $35.00. What?? I then asked someone else to read the price and description, just

Men's Grooming : Luxury

NYFW Men is literally right in three weeks,  so how does a male model keep his hair camera ready? We did some research on the best products that would keep a man 's hair camera ready. Julien Farel Salon This salon has the best anti aging haircare products for men. They also do all of the models for the Nick Graham Show. Those models are the best! Martial Vivot We came across this salon on the side of MOMA in June for the annual French Wink   Father's Day Event. This salon has the best hair care products in terms of being all natural. The manager explained to me  mass market products are okay, but as a man ages the harshness of the products causes premature hair loss. Wow! Who knew... They also sell their products at Barney 's, in addition to the salon. John Allen Salons They have the coolest vibe in Saks,  in terms of high profile salon. To get that ultimate surfer look the pomade is amazing with out being heavy or greasy. For luxury hair care service and products,
