Mexico...where chips & salsa lovers go to die!!!

Mexico…where chips & salsa lovers go to die!!!

One word. KARMA. My boyfriend, Daniel, and I racked up some seriously good karma to score the trip we just experience to Punta Mita, Mexico (about 45 minutes NW of Puerta Villarta). We were fortunate enough to stay as guests of family friends at Casa Las Palmas which was a treat in and of itself!!!...

For The Love of Lynn

    Welcome to the Fold Sometimes even the most independent ladies need a little help, and thankfully New York is a city teeming with likeminded individuals. I’m an observer, a reporter, a writer, and most importantly a fan and friend of bigLITTLE. With my help, the connection between the Ladies and their loyal readers...

bigLITTLE & DIESEL Woman

We had an absolute blast working with the fine folks from DIESEL USA to create the delicious food & cocktails for the launch of their DIESEL WOMAN’S Housewarming Event. It was particularly close to our hearts as Lauren is a former employee of the Diesel world. Way back in her college years she was a...

Heritage Radio Network

Roberta’s in Bushwick seems to have it all.. Indoor and outdoor seating, garden, farm in the making, scrumptious food, an outpost at the Rockaways, Tiki parties.. the list goes on an on!!  What many people may not know is that they also house a radio station! The food based radio network is called Heritage Radio....
Rock Rock, Rockaway Beach

Rock Rock, Rockaway Beach

What better way to end a glorious day at the beach than with a Fish Taco from Rockaway Taco.  At their flagship location, one must wait in line before sinking their teeth into their taco of choice with optional guac garnish.  But do not fret.  Right on the corner is a quaint market that makes...
BigLITTLE & Sigmund Pretzel BRUNCH

BigLITTLE & Sigmund Pretzel BRUNCH

We eat eggs all the time.  In fact, we probably cook and eat eggs more often than anything else.  They are oh so versatile AND a pantry staple.  We are cooking up a test batch of Eggs in a Pretzel and Coconut Sorbet in preparation for our BigLITTLE Sigmund Pretzel Shop Brunch this coming Sunday!...

Mid Summer with the Swedes

Summer time in New York City… there is truly nothing quite like it! The days are hot and sweaty, but the nights seem endless and filled with possibilities. The other evening my boyfriend Daniel invited me to accompany him to a work dinner at Indochine to celebrate a collaboration that he did at Marc Jacobs...

Sirens of the Sea

For me, there is no fare more nostalgic than a Wellfleet Oyster. This is especially true when I slurp them down in the town of their harvesting, where the salty Atlantic air primes my taste buds for that briny oyster liquor. The air and oyster meet and mingle on the slip n’ slide of my...
Goliard, the Gracia's little gem

Goliard, the Gracia’s little gem

Tucked away in the rustic streets of Barcelona’s Gracia neighborhood is a wonderful little joint called Goliard. One might overlook this gem of a restaurant, as there is only a tiny square sign suspended in front of it’s door with a jovial image of a large nosed cartoon sipping wine, but it is worth searching...

I LOVE farmers markets!  I get to feel like a kid in a candy store.  In the lush seasons, I am surrounded by rainbows of fresh produce – and if I am lucky enough NOT to be in America, where even our best markets are seriously lacking – butchers and fish mongers galore!  Obviously with...
"Shit Storm"

“Shit Storm”

Ah Barcelona… a land of night life, a place of artistic harmony between classical and modern, a society filled with a lust for life/food/wine/happiness, and the world’s largest populations of PICK POCKETS!!! That’s right ladies and gentlemen, the rumors are true and we are living proof that even savvy New Yorkers(who by the way, never...
