#NYSeeAndDo, 2/26-2/28

This weekend, New York is full of my favorite things. There's free whiskey (!), a Star Wars costume exhibit (!!), and a Philadelphia tribute in honor of Sly Stallone's Oscar nod (!!!)  Read all about it in my #NYSeeAndDo post over at nycmonthly.com and feel free to send along suggestions for future posts.

Sorry, Leo, but Fozzie is the only bear I want to see on the big screen.

NYC Monthly: #NYSeeAndDo, 2/19-2/21

This weekend, there's a lot happening on stage (from Hall & Oates bringing the Philly to The Garden to The Amoralists Utility, closing Saturday night) and plenty of beer to wash it all down (from New York City Beer Week to The City Bakery's Friday flavor, Beer Hot Chocolate).  Get my guide and drink it all in!

NYC Monthly: Top 10 for February

Better late than never?  This went up online without my even noticing, and is also available in the print version; pick up NYC Monthly when you pass through Grand Central or at better hotels across town and plot a rad February with my monthly Top 10...

Do your little turn during NYFW...
...or see the circus at Barclays Center.

NYC Monthly: #NYSeeAndDo, 2/5-2/7

This weekend is shaping up to be a "Super" (see what I did there??) sunny one here in New York, which means there's much more to do than watch with glee as NFL fans mourn the end of their season [cough 14 days until pitchers and catchers cough].  Escape with a fashionable fairy tale at The Museum at FIT or peer out into the abyss (read: The Jersey coast) at One World Observatory.  Plus: Ice Golf! (??)

Click #NYSeeAndDo to read the round-up, then share your snaps and snippets on Instagram and Twitter for a chance to be featured in a future post.  Happy weekend, everyone!

It's these guys...
...versus these guys...
...right??

NYC Monthly: #NYSeeAndDo, 1/29-1/31

Winter Storm Jonas stranded me in Philadelphia last weekend and kept me from posting, but I'm back and better than ever: this week's #NYSeeAndDo (click hashtag to read full article) includes a massive new dinosaur at the American Museum of Natural History and my current favorite food obsession, the beet-cured salmon with celery cream cheese and fried capers on a pretzel roll (!!!) at my fellow Philadelphian-slash-New-Yorker High Street on Hudson.

Share your own #NYSeeAndDo snaps (via Instagram) and snippets (via Twitter) for a chance to be included in a future post!  I love sharing what my rad friends are up to, so help a sister out.  I've got two cities to navigate, after all.  First pint at the Bohemian Hall Beer Garden is on me.

ProTip: New Year, New Yum

"While the gyms are crowded shoulder to shoulder with #resolutionaries, Team ProTip has a 'New Year, New You' move of our own: New Year, New Yum, including four restaurants that opened in the past month or so to help get your 2016 off to a delicious start."

Give yourself a few new reasons (in Philadelphia and New York!) to get to the gym this January, via ProTip...


NYC Monthly: Top 10 for January

Okay, yes: I've been slacking on my #for# monthly posts.  But!  It's not because I haven't been writing!  In fact, I've even been fortunate enough to be paid for some of it!

Here, a city ski lodge, a cross-town winter sports rivalry, and more in my January Top 10, courtesy NYC Monthly...

ProTip: A Cup of Kindness -- or Champagne! -- for Auld Lang Syne

"Well, 2015, it's been real.  But as we prepare to bid you a fond farewell and welcome a new year, Team ProTip is doing it the way we do best: with amazing things to eat and drink, of course."

ALL THE BUBBLES.

ProTip: All About That Baste

"Mom always said, 'Life is uncertain; eat dessert first!'  We like her style, so we're pre-ordering our goodies from Jessica Nolen's brand-new The Little Bird Bakery & Cafe.  She's taking Thanksgiving orders now..."

...and if the pumpkin spice blondie chunks I had for breakfast the other morning (no judgement) are any indication, you're going to want to get your order in now before she's booked through next Thanksgiving.

Check out some more of my Philadelphia favorites that are "all about that baste," via ProTip...
