Today is #NationalNewYorkDay and well, being a native New Yorker, I just had to write a little homage to say what a great place it is to grow up.  

What I love most about New York is that there are so many wonderful ways you can take a mini vacation when you need it.  You can travel 40 minutes out of the city and be in the Adirondack Mountains, or you can travel a few hours and be in Vermont, Washington DC or Boston.  How cool is that?

One of my favorite NY Style sandwiches is the Bagel and Lox which I have a little video

If you love it as much as I do, check it out and make one today, or this weekend for brunch.

How can you celebrate #NationalNewYorkDay?  Well, there are a few ways:

-Create a bagel lox sandwich or a Corned Beef Reuben.   Here’s a quick video on how to make a bagel with Lox.

-Take out some Sinatra and play some of his tunes, including “New York, New York”.

-Check out a Broadway play that might be in your town.

-Rent a video from Amazon Prime – Fame, American Gangster, West Side Story, 42nd Street, An Affair to Remember, Big…

-Pick up some new fashion digs, go to H&M or to Forever 21 where you can find the most trendy items for less and put on a new outfit and meet your friends for a Cosmo at a swanky restaurant.

Whatever you decide to do, do it with style and flair and enjoy!

Remember to live happily, lovingly, peacefully, necessarily and luxuriously.

April is Straw Hat Month.  I just love straw hats.  Today’s episode I give a quick talk on the history of straw hats and how many uses they have.

I started wearing straw hats in the 80’s in New York City.  Not only are they stylish and fun, there are so many new styles that they didn’t have back then and they also serve many other great functions.  They can help with:

a) Shield you from the sun’s damaging rays.

b) Keep a hairdo looking great from rainy weather.

c) Help you stay cool by releasing the heat from the hot sun in the summer months.

d) Make you look stylish, fun and creative.

e) Can hide your hair on a bad-hair day.

f) Conversation starter.

Straw hats are made from many types of grasses and straw.  Did you know that palm trees and grasses have much in common?  

So take a quick listen, enjoy and get your hat on!

With much love,
