  • An Ideal Afternoon in NYC

    An Ideal Afternoon in NYC

    12th April 2010 | 0 comments | 1 person likes this

    A few Fridays ago, I set about to have a perfect afternoon in Manhattan. Naturally, a few elements were required: friends, food, coffee and shopping.

    My first stop covered the first two vital elements, as I met up with a vegan buddy at the newly opened Terri (23rd between 5th & 6th). Terri, managed by former employee of the acclaimed vegan stop Blossom, offers an array of sandwiches, wraps, salads, smoothies...

  • A Visit to Salon Eiji

    A Visit to Salon Eiji

    28th October 2009 | 4 comments | 2 people like this

    This summer I was invited to visit Salon Eiji for a complimentary haircut and tour.


    I confirmed my appointment downstairs via buzzer and was ushered upstairs to the fifth floor, which overlooks Madison Avenue. Upon entering, I was greeted by a narrow passageway and the reception desk. I’ll admit to being slightly ruffled that I stepped directly out of the elevator and into the salon, but I composed myself quickly and...

    Coffee with a Dandy

     Another thing I like about living in New York City is that everyone lives in New York City. Though I’ve been located close to NYC in the past—and could easily bus to-and-fro when it was called for—now there is something particularly effortless about meeting up with friends, acquaintances and even strangers for a quick cup of coffee.

    Whereas previously I would have only had the opportunity to chat with him via...

    Think You Know NYC?

    When I moved to New York City, I thought I pretty much knew what to expect. Having family from in and around the city, having lived in a big city on the East Coast (Boston), and having traveled here several times on vacation, I thought I had NYC pegged to a T.

    For the most part, I had the right idea. It's full of tourists, full of rats, glowing with bright...

    On June 20th, 2009, the Style Bard was invited to attend a "VIP Shopping Event & Extravaganza" hosted by POSHGLAM.com. According to the e-vite, attendees could expect to encounter NYC's "most sophisticated, stylish, and savvy women dining, mingling, and shopping in a five star purchasing paradise." The event was held from 12pm-7pm at Studio 26 on W 26th St.

    Intrigued, I RSVPed to the event (which cost $10) and decided that,...

    After living in New York City for a week, I planned to meet up with a friend in Midtown for an evening coffee date. Clad in a striped cotton t-shirt (Ralph Lauren) and jeans (Citizens of Humanity), I felt fully prepared to relax, exchange amusing life anecdotes and savor a Venti Non-Fat Chai Tea Latte (made with coffee in place of water for extra caffeine and flavour).

    What I was not...

    On the day I arrived in NYC, after moving all of my boxes upstairs (two stories, no elevator-whew!) I decided to unwind a little by going for a walk to explore the city and pick up a few household items.

    I met up with a friend in Union Square. After about twenty minutes of wandering around and checking out the various stores and restaurants, I abruptly commented, "All of the girls...

    Ok - I have to admit. I never really saw myself living in New York City.

    Sure, everyone always said I'd grow up and become a city girl with a swanky apartment and a splendid writing career (right). But after hopping from Florida to Boston to Florida to Cambridge to New Paltz (where? - exactly) to Florida again, I decided that I needed to stop my shenanigans and pick a place...
