House Hunting
As my search for a new home begins, and after a very insightful conversation, I am beginning to consider purchasing an apartment or a home. It is the perfect time to purchase real estate in New York City. There is a ton on the market and in some pretty amazing neighborhoods, and sellers are looking to negotiate. Although still unsure about purchasing right away, I have decided that New York City is still my home, and why not stay another year. I love this city. I still get butterflies, and I still fall in love with New York more and more each day... and what is better than falling in love?
As I began going through listings today, I rememberd why I always loved real estate... I also remembered why one day I want to own several homes throughout the world. I could never chose between the city and the excitement, the back porch patio on the beach or the country and the hills. I love being around people, and I've always loved to entertain, whether it was inside next to a fire place, or an outdoor barbaque. Owning a home would allow me to welcome the people that mean the most to me, my family and friends, into an intimate part of my life. My family still to this day gets together at my parents house on Long Island for birthday's and hoildays and I know it means a lot to my siblings and I.
When I was younger, I found a qoute by Tom Ford (of all people...) but it summed me up perfectly and I still say it today. "There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting it all, and I want it all." I want the romance and luxuries that life has to offer, and when I look at pictures of all of these fabulous apartments and homes, I realize that one day soon I will have that too.
...and the best part about wanting it all is that you can always change what you want.

Lobster Roll Rumble!
I was delighted to open my email today and see an event titled "Lobster Roll Rumble!" I am a big lover of lobster rolls, and eat them pretty frequently throughout the summer. Tasting Table’s 2011 Lobster Roll Rumble is an event benefiting Share Our Strength. The Rumble will host 17 of the country’s best lobster rolls as they vie for the title of ‘TT Fan Favorite’. Rumble attendees will be able to try each roll--and cast their vote--while cooling down with Hendrick’s summer cocktails, Stella Artois beers, Blüfeld Riesling, San Pellegrino and Maine Root sodas.
And since lobster rolls love company, Brooklyn Brine will be on hand to serve pickles; Deep River Snacks will put out buckets of chips; and 10 of the city’s best dessert purveyors will dish out their signature treats on our rooftop Dessert Deck. Head over to the Tasting Table website to purchase tickets! If you can't make the event, try to eventually check out some of my favorite places for a delicious lobster roll!

iCandy!
I was recently treated to an iPad, and I must say its pretty amazing. I've already downloaded multiple applications, including The New York Times, AngryBirds, Scrabble, CNN, and several camera apps. I actually just finished my first iBook too! I'm just starting to get acclimated with using the iPad vs. my computer. Its the perfect little companion to fit in your bag and carry around New York City. Of course, with the price you pay for the iPad, you have to make sure its always protected. Here are some of my favorite iPad cases.
