The Dream Project Reimagines Shakespeare in a Trilingual, Modern Space

The Dream Project Reimagines Shakespeare in a Trilingual, Modern Space

A darkened, fog-filled room with two ethereal white sheets and a thick, braided white rope is suspended from the ceiling. A trembling acoustic guitar greets you as you enter the theater, creating an eerie, other-worldly ambiance. The Dream Project, the newest endeavor by the Yonder Window Theatre Company, seeks to draw parallels between the current political climate and Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The text […]

Spice Things Up at Ugly Baby

Spice Things Up at Ugly Baby

I love spicy food. I put sriracha on my eggs and Marie Sharp on my pizza. I can’t eat pasta without red pepper flakes and Indian food is my go-to Sunday night delivery meal.

One of the most appealing things about traveling to France is, of course, the food. The French sure know how to cook (and bake!) and we’re lucky here in New York City that we can have Parisian food without paying for a flight. Le Relais de Venice L’Entrecôte was founded in paris almost 60 years go, and now has iterations […]

Put Some South in Your Mouth at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola

One of the things I’ve never done during my time in New York is take in a show at Jazz at Lincoln Center. I know, it’s blasphemous! Luckily, I recently had the opportunity to not only take in a show, but also a great dinner while I watched. Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola is one of the best jazz club’s in […]
