By Seth Fera-Schanes I have been to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) a handful of times. They have a giant Blue Whale, dinosaur bones, rare gems, you know, museum stuff. This is how I typically view the museum after a visit. I recognize the wealth of […]
By Seth Fera-Schanes The 2013-2014 winter doesn’t seem to want to end. Â It “technically” did end when we “officially” ushered in “Spring” on March 20th and we actually did have some nice days around that time but nothing has quite stuck. Most New Yorker’s are grinding their teeth […]
Sometimes you are sitting on a plane and just have a craving for Bloody Mary mix. Â It arrives in a four ounce can and comes equipped with 87% of your daily sodium allowance.

By Seth Fera-Schanes Brunch is serious business in New York. Â It is a favorite pastime of every 20 something and if you dare to ask for a recommendation on where to go, be prepared to receive a deluge of suggestions. When it comes to brunch in the city, […]

New York is photogenic. Â You can spend day and night taking pictures around the city from every angle and it still feels like you are just scratching the surface.

The Cathedral of Saint John the Divine is located on 113th and Amsterdam Avenue in Manhattan. Â It is one of my favorite buildings in the city, one of the largest churches in the world and also boasts a pair of peacocks that roam around the grounds out back.
