A Visit to Salon Eiji
28th October 2009 | 3 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... -

Crashing NYC Rooftop Parties

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... -
NYC Girls All Look the Same

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... -
Hello, New York City!

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...
