I live in Midtown East, between 3 different Duane Reade stores and, I couldn’t be happier. Duane Reade has been this NYC girl’s grocery/pharmacy/beauty store for over 20 years now.
From emergency trips to replace torn stockings during fashion week to purchasing last minute beauty gifts for my girlfriends, Duane Reade (DR) is able to provide us New Yorker’s a one stop shopping experience that works perfectly into our hectic schedules.

You dolls know how much I love living in Midtown Manhattan, fabulush furniture & everything Horchow, right? After one of my best dates ever, when I found out that a Hotel Setai opened up in Midtown (36th & 5th Ave), I was soo curious to see how one of the luxe condos looked and even more so, how it was decorated.
Apartment City: Another One Bites The Dust
Sooo…
Remember this post - Today was the Day, My Neighbor Moved Away…??? Well, turns out my neighbor next door (who just moved in this time last year) is moving out next month and will officially be the FIFTH person moving out of said apt. – to move in with their newly minted fiance.
WTF is going on across the hallway & spread some of that magic love-mojo ovah here please! Maybe I should invest in some Feng Shui course and re-arrange my furniture…?
Or maybe I should re-evaluate those 8 first date tips. Hmm…
kissies,
Kitchenista Anyone?
I saw the word “Kitchenista” on a recent NYPost.com headline and had to further investigate (seriously, anything with an “ista” at the end of it will get my attention).
I assumed I was going to get the latest info on city girls who have impeccable tiny apt. kitchen cooking skills using appliances designed by Lilly Pulitzer or Vera Bradley.
Apartment City: 40 Bond
After picking up the gift, I decided to walk east of
I turned on
But…was this building residential or commercial? I had no idea. Besides open views into some of the lit rooms (yes, was a total peeping MG), I noticed a huge “40″ over the entrance. Wow.
40 Bond Street contains twenty-seven unique apartments, many with terraces, five townhouses which are the first built in generations, as well as the city’s most extraordinary penthouse.The living spaces are organized as a series of gathering places, discarding the old formal model of the luxury apartment for the flowing energy of the modern loft space.
Apartment City: "10 NYC Neighborhoods That Changed the Most This Decade"
I can tell you by personal experience that there have been obvious changes in some of my fav Now, if I stop by any of my former spots, they are filled with suits on
One night a gf & I had stopped by a former fav spot for an early dinner. We walked in and literally half the resty was filled with
And…we just happened to have been seated next to one couple, who definitely met online. How could I tell?
Convo:
GUY: “It’s great to finally meet you.”
GAL: “Me too.”
GUY: “Wow. You look just as amazing in person.”
GAL: “Thank you. You look…….nice.”
LOL.
(BTW, in this particular resty, the tables are placed so close together that you can actually tell the time by looking at the person’s watch next to you. I know this bc I did it myself. Whatevz!)
I heard GUY also say to his date:
GUY: “Yea, I love this place. I like going to spots no one knows about.”
Dude, if YOU are here - EVERYONE knows about it!
Pssshaw. I kid. Ok, no I don’t.
Anywho, Midtown East hasn’t changed too much besides having a few shops close and now re-open as pet stores. There are more specialty pet shops in my area than there are Duane Reades!

South Brooklyn: “I’m cheating a bit since it’s not just one neighborhood, but Brooklyn. At the beginning of the decade I lived in Boerum Hill, and Butter on Atlantic Avenue was pretty much the only game in town. These days I’m back in Manhattan but some of my favorite stores are there: Dear Fieldbinder, Bird, Erie Basin. If there’s any truth to the rumors of a Barneys Co-op opening up on Atlantic Avenue, I won’t be at all surprised.”—Kim France, editor, Lucky
