Rideshare services like Uber have definitely disrupted the transportation industry. They’ve proven to be quite popular, giving users the ability to request a ride with a few clicks on their phone while also getting better prices than taxis.
There are a bunch of rideshare services out there. I’ve only used Uber and Lyft but I’ve heard good things about Juno (from an Uber driver!) a while back. Continue reading Is Rideshare Service Juno Now Available at NYC Airports?
For those of you visiting a city like New York for the first time, there are lots of scams to look out for during your trip.

Last summer NYC got an interesting Magnum Bar Ice Cream pop-up. (Check out my review about the Magnum pop-up here.)

Do you start off your day with a cup of coffee?
I never got into coffee and still don’t really understand why there needs to be a Starbucks or Dunkin’ Donuts on just about every street corner in NYC. (Maybe it’s the public bathrooms which we can use!)

Last April, Kim, Lucas and I spent a couple of nights at the Radisson Martinique, located in Koreatown, NYC.
During our visit (from our distant home in Brooklyn, NY) I decided that we needed to try out the burgers at what might be the hottest, new burger shop in the city, Salvation Burger from Chef April Bloomfield (famous for The Spotted Pig among other restaurants).
Soon after our visit, a fire broke out in Salvation Burger so I held back on posting my review of the restaurant. With the restaurant reopening in early December after various delays, I felt it was finally time to post my review. Continue reading What Should You Order At Salvation Burger NYC?

Earlier in the year I wrote about The Amazing French Onion Soup Burger at Le Rivage in NYC.

Kim, Lucas and I headed over to Little Prince NYC to give their version of the French Onion Soup Burger a try. Continue reading The Awesome French Onion Soup Burger at Little Prince NYC
Following the right Twitter accounts can be helpful in many ways.

Up until now the New York area airports ( EWR, JFK, LGA & SWF) have all shared a Twitter account (@NY_NJairports). Continue reading New York Area Airports Get New Twitter Accounts
