Last week, I ventured on a two hour train trip to Poughkeepsie to view some of the spectacular fall foliage that I have wanted to see for so long. My fascination with fall foliage goes back to my obsession with all things New England and my only way of experiencing this was through my subscription…
Random great things about NY
Rice To Riches To put it simply… if you love Rice Pudding, you will LOVE Rice to Riches . Located on Spring Street – in between Mott and Mulberry it is the perfect place to get your pudding fix and also try some great flavours. The pudding is a lot different to the one I…
Fairy Bread hits NYC
I have been laughing my head off at Georgina’s latest posts – here and here. It reminded me of my last day working at Parliament earlier this year. I think I was the only 30 year old who still took fairy bread to work for her lunch on a regular basis. My wonderful colleague Victoria,…
Long range forecast…

Inaugural book club meeting
From L to R – Georgina, Jen, this blogger, Aisha, Berry and the photo was taken by Kelly. Yesterday morning, brunch was devoured at Freemans. A great little spot in the Lower East Side that was located right at the end of Freeman Alley. The Alley itself took me right back to Melbourne. It was…
Princeton in a day

I report…. we all decide?
I cannot thank you all enough for the comments and emails after my last post regarding the ‘Should I stay or should I go?’ dilemma. I’ve never used the blog as an advice column but it worked a treat and I cannot begin to tell you all how much I appreciated it. Without being able…
