Can I Get Some Fries with That Shakespeare?

Thursday night is date night. It’s a tradition that my husband and I started in 2009, shortly after I signed my life away to began working for a big law firm, as a way for us to make sure we spent some quality time together at least once a week. Now that I’m working in higher education, we...

Paint the Town Red (or Green, or Blue...)

A few weeks ago, I mentioned (with great trepidation) that Asha and I would be taking a BYOB painting class together. Well, we did it. And it was pretty freaking awesome. Here's the backstory: this past fall, Asha found a Groupon deal for a three-hour BYOB art class at Art Plus Studio (f.k.a. “Art...

Hungry with a Chance of Meatballs

A few months ago, I stumbled upon – and blogged about – Sababa , a recently-opened falafel/shawarma shop in the mix-and-match style of Chipotle. Well, there’s another new kid on the block that lets you pick and choose how you want your entrée, what you want in it, and how you...

The Art of Holiday Shopping

Anyone who knows me knows that I don’t have an artistic bone in my body, and for those who don’t know me, the proof will be in the pudding when Asha and I take a BYOB painting class next month and I post the pictures of my finished product <preemptive cringe>. But just because a four...

$24 in 24 Hrs – New Haven

I love food and I love Chicago (my hometown), so I thought it might be fun to do a little tribute to fellow foodie and proud Chicagoan Jeff Mauro, who not only has established himself as the Sandwich King of Food Network, but who also debuted a show this fall called “ $24 in 24 Hrs .” As...

An American Idol in New Haven

Finally – karaoke (or “noraebang” as we call it in Korean) has come to New Haven in a major way. I am a huge fan of karaoke, particularly the private, box-style karaoke that is typically offered by Asian establishments. So you can imagine my excitement when I found out about the Aug...

To Market, To Market

As of last week, summer has officially drawn to a close (commence weeping). When I reminisce about summer, one of the things I appreciate the most is the reappearance of farmers’ markets offering fresh, locally grown produce at affordable prices. I have to admit, I never visited farmers’...

Arroz con Frijoles

Since I was a student here, New Haven has really blossomed when it comes to dining. There were good restaurants here a decade ago, but not of the variety and quantity that exist today. When I first moved back, I didn't really believe it when I heard that the dining scene in New Haven is quite good...

Fall-ing in Love With Connecticut

I love the fall! That was one thing I missed when I moved back to Miami. The leaves are always green there, which is nice, but doesn't get you into the spirit of the holidays the way a New England fall can. So now that fall is in full swing, for those of you that want to appreciate the colors and...

The International Festival of Arts & Ideas: A New Haven Summer Staple

As I have come to learn this past month, the International Festival of Arts and Ideas is a New Haven summer staple. Although the Festival was new to me, it began 15 years ago and is now established as a significant arts festival. The Festival offers a broad array of events from concerts, plays, dance...
