The Hunt

I bet you've been wondering where I've been? Apartment hunting in NYC... When I moved into the city a year ago, my roommate was a real estate broker so I didn't have to do anything. People had warned me what it was like to look alone, but little did I know what I was about to get into. Just cancel your entire social calendar or any after-work relaxation. Also if you need to switch up your workout plan, searching for apartments in New York is the way to go. I've walked down every street in the East Village about a million times over and walked at least 50 flights of stairs to boot. After two and half weeks on what I like to call "the hunt", I finally found my perfect, new home right on the cusp of the East Village and Lower East Side. I cannot wait to fully indulge in (most importantly) some epic vintage shopping, delicious restaurants at just about every corner, and the mad night life. Another new chapter for A Vintage Vice.

Coming soon, a look inside the Beyonce and JayZ On The Run tour at MetLife Stadium.

Discovering the LES

One of my favorite parts of friends coming to visit is the excuse to explore new things you usually don't make time for and also the chance to show off the best parts of NYC (which doesn't include Times Square). The Lower East Side (LES) is one of my recent favorites! Full of amazing shops, restaurants, and art, LES is a cultural haven and great spot for people watching, too ;) This past weekend my hometown friend and I explored the LES on a beautiful and sunny Saturday. We started at the Hester Street Fair. With a similar nod to the Brooklyn Flea, it had some wonderful pop-up vintage boutiques and mini eateries. We next traveled up and stopped into a few different consignment and vintage shops, namely Edith Machinist, known for its epic, vintage accessories. Our last stop was farther up into the East Village for a late lunch. Veselka (namely visited in Gossip Girl) , is a Ukrainian restaurant known for its pierogies. Most unique and delicious food I've had in a while! Check out the links above and the clip/photos below and venture to the Lower East Side on your next visit!
