A brief history of my most questionable NYC dates... (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I once hooked up with a guy in his twin bed in his grandma’s apartment in Stuytown.Now I’m not proud to admit that, but this was so long ago I can’t remember anything about this guy except that he was half Japanese and lived with his grandma for some reason. (Luckily she wasn’t there that night as she was off traveling the world and living her best life.) We met on some dating app, went on a few dates, and then ended up at his grandma’s place one night.

(Even though I don’t have a good track record of making safe decisions abroad, like the time I spontaneously spent a weekend in Marrakech with two guys I had met less than 24 hours before, but hey I survived.

Read excerpt
I’ve spent a lot of time in the Hamptons over the past ten years I’ve lived in NYC, from weekend trips with friends to a few summers nannying for a family in East Hampton. So trust me when I say that you can absolutely do a Hamptons day trip without waking up at an ungodly hour, feeling rushed, or spending hundreds of dollars.
