New York en Espa?ol... and other languages'??
From Newbie NYC, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
This city is a cacophony of multilingual dialogue, with certain sections truly singing like another world. With such a diverse population, it is great to have resources in languages other than New York City American (i.e. Brooklynese, 'Queens' English, etc...) and blogs that cater to those that moved here from elsewhere. After all, that is what New York is about (think Statue of Liberty, ya'll).? So it was great to be contacted by Mia, who moved here from Argentina in 2002 and started Viva New...

Westminster Dog Show 2010: Dogs Hit the Streets
From Newbie NYC, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I got a little 'inside doggie scoop' on the greatest dog show ever, the 2010 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at Madison Square Garden! Breeds of all shapes and sizes roamed the streets of NYC in preparation for the two-day event. This is one of those quirky, fun NYC events that everyone looks forward to. It may even rival Fashion Week! Apparently, it was a tight race between Toy Poodle Walker, Doberman Pinscher C.J., Brittany Spaniel Tally, and a few others, but it was Scottish Terrier Sadie...

Atlantic City, Here We Come... on a bus'???
From Newbie NYC, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
When I moved to New York City, I vowed never to leave Manhattan. Well, at least not for the first few months. But hey, I've been living here for .... can it really be ... three whole years now and a gal's gotta get some new scenery. But to Atlantic City, on a bus no less' So not this Manhattanite's style... or so I thought. My luck and pre-conceived notions changed when I got an offer to check out the Greyhound Lucky Streak, driven by bus driver extraordinaire Leon. Full disclosure, it was a...

From Newbie NYC, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I spent Xmas eve chowing down Brazilian food with friends in Hell's Kitchen. Yep, nothing says Christmas like a big slab of steak and full on girl talk. I called it an orphan's Christmas, but my friend said that didn't fit her style. "We are adult women living in Manhattan and we can do whatever we want." 'Nuff said. Still, there may be those out there that want a little more structure to their holiday nightlife. And while the best way to get out and about is with party planning pals, there are...

Halloween in NYC
From Newbie NYC, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Oh sure, there are the Haunted House tours, the parade in the Village, the tiny trick-or-treaters traipsing from apartment building to brownstone. But the fact is that in NYC, people dress up like its Halloween on any given day, and freaks and ghouls roam free in a marvelous, all-are-welcome-here kinda way. True scariness can be found in the stories of haunted happenings behind the many, many closed doors of this insanity-inducing island. The New York Times put a few together in this article...

Urban Meditation in the Bronx
From Newbie NYC, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
The poetry of this piece of travelogue theater will leave you lulled out of space and time. But the power of it is in the now. The adventurous Foundry Theater has taken a step out of the conventional in The Provenance of Beauty, a performance piece set on a bus trip 'round the Bronx. This New York Times review captures the essence of this beautiful, haunting urban meditation. Great theater sometimes does expand outside stage. Kudos to The Foundry for expanding traditional notions of...

VMAs Celebrate NYC Talent
From Newbie NYC, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Amidst the busy sidewalks and crowded streets, NYC is flooded with musical talents of all kinds. I just learned that MTV2 and Time Warner Cable are searching for the next best thing in the NYC music scene. Apparently, there is a cool contest going on if you (or your band, or duo group, or anything singsong-y) are looking to ?make it' in the industry. If so, try out for ?The Best Breakout NYC Artist Award' and go head-to-head with other finalists at the 2009 Video Music Awards. On August 14th,...

Rooftop Films NYC
From Newbie NYC, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I'll be taking in a unique and festive NYC experience on Friday nite, when I'll attend Rooftop Films' screening of Humpday. While excited about the film, I'm even more jazzed about being outside on an NYC roof for cinema, sights, and film enthusiasts galore. Rooftop Films will screen around 20 films and 150 shorts in 2009, making it a prolific film festival. There is also music and Q&As and free stuff too. Films are held in various locations around town on Friday or Saturday nights, so...
