You know when you realize it is the 22nd of December and you still don’t know what to give to that special friend or family member?! So take a deep breath and relax because today I’ll be sharing great gift ideas for under $20 that will either stand out on their own or make a […]
“Hello Upper East Siders, Gossip Girl here!”… If your heart beats faster every time your hear these words together, this post is for you! I was invited by On Location Tours to experience first hand (this tour is also included in the New York Explorer Pass!) their world famous film and TV shows sites tours in New […]
I know, winter is almost here and I’m blogging about what to wear for fall. But I’m always reading e-mails and comments from some of you requesting posts with ideas for fall and the truth is that in my opinion it is the craziest season of all. The weather is so unpredictable that in a […]
It’s not a secret to anyone who follows me that DUMBO is one of my favorite places in New York and it’s in my TOP 5 neighborhoods to live in the (hopefully) near future. So when I heard Bluestone Lane had a new location in the area, I couldn’t wait to go and share with all of […]
November went by so quickly but I took the time to register one of the happiest days of the season: the day when my Vegan Cuts box arrives! Seriously, what a treat it is to get home and open a box filled with everything vegan, from snacks to beauty products! So of course I wanted […]
The other day Grace and I went on a tour with New York Water Taxi aboard of Zephyr, one of their most popular cruises. I never say no to the opportunity to see the skyline of Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge from different angles, so as you can see, I loved the experience so much […]
Can we talk about how mild this Fall season has been so far? I can’t get over the fact that my heavy jackets are still lost somewhere in my closet. I’m loving it and I do hope winter comes slowly this year as well! To celebrate the nice weather so far I wanted to share […]
The first thing I asked myself when I walked inside Kings County Imperial was…”its this a chinese restaurant?”. Located in the heart of Williamsburg, the restaurant offers an experience different from the traditional chinese: it’s cozy, classic but also modern and the atmosphere is young, vibrant and intimitate at the same time. In other words: my favorite […]
Winter is coming. And It will be taking away all the natural glow and tan that we worked really hard to get during the short months of summer in New York City! But no need to worry, I recently tested the Winter Skin, a gradual tanning moisturizer by EcoTan, an Australian certified organic and vegan brand that […]
It’s that time of the month again when I receive my awesome Vegan Cut box in the mail and share with you on the blog! Not sure what Vegan Cuts is? It is a vegan subscrition box that delivers delicious treats and snacks (good size), makeup and beauty products every month to your door! As they […]
After years of experience and graduating from renomated culinary schools, Brazilian chef Ione Cavalli fell in love with the delicate and delicious macarons, a french sweet that is famous all over the world but is receiving special treatment from Ione, who inovated the original version and added some Brazilian taste to it, making even the […]
I looooove good surprises. Who doesn’t? And as I blogger I always receive products and presskits in the mail from brands I love with their latest updates or some of my favorite products but nothing beats the days when I get my “mistery” subscriptions boxes in the mail! I look like a 5 year old on Christmas […]
Sooner or later you’ll need one. Although NY has a store on every corner, you might find it hard to find a decent restroom when you really need one! Truth is the most obvious options are usually at McDonald’s or Starbucks! But having lived here for six years now, I’ve got some experience and I’ve […]
Who wants to come to New York and see how the locals live, go to the trendy bars and restaurants that they go and stay away from the cliché? So this post is for you! I selected 5 places in the Lower East Side, one of the coolest areas and a perfect place to meet the […]
Today I woke up missing Big Island. Well, Kona Village to be more specific. That’s the area where we stayed in Kona for two days (and I recommend the Uncle Billy’s Kona Bay Hotel- great location and price). I just miss everything about it: the happy tourists walking by saying good morning, the restaurants, the live music […]
I always say that my favorite observatory in New York is the Rockefeller Center. And it is easy for me to explain why: I can see both the Empire State Building and Central Park pretty close from up there and if you know anything about me, you know I’m obsessed with both. So imagine being able to […]
In case you have no idea of what I’m doing holding a cat inside a cafe, let me explain first! As the name suggests, cat cafe is a regular cafe where you drink and eat delicious food while cute cats run around freely, play with their toys or take a nap on your lap. YES! This concept came from […]
Penn Station, one of the busiest areas of Manhattan is the home of another amazing food hall in the city: The Pennsy. If you follow me on instagram (@marthasachser and @blognyandabout) you might already know this, I’m always stopping by to grab a bite at Cinnamon Snail, my new favorite vegan fast food in the […]
One of my favorite things to photograph here in New York is a surprise engagement proposal! All the adrenaline, the planning that happens before the big day and the wait for the “YES” is always something that motivates me to continue doing what I do as a photographer. So to spread the love I selected […]
I’ve been wanting to go to Café Habana since forever, to try their famous mexican style corn, the most famous corn of New York! But for some reason it never worked out, I either had nobody to go with or the line was so long that made me give up and I would always end […]
