October 11, 2024 – the Best Day Ever It’s been almost 150 days now since our most perfect, magical, Literal Best Ever day. We got married on October 11th, 2024, at Raphael, a gorgeous, family-owned and operated vineyard and winery on Long Island’s North Fork. We summoned our friends and family from near and far…
Our Disney World “Minnie-Moon” Day 2: Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom has always felt to us like the most unique park of the four non-water Disney World parks; it’s the perfect amalgamation of a National Geographic magazine come to life, an African safari, and a classic Disney theme park all in one. As animal lovers who frequent National Parks and the Bronx Zoo annually, …
Our Disney “Minnie-Moon”, Day 1: Movie Magic & Memories at Hollywood Studios
There’s nothing quite like the sensation you get walking into a Disney theme park or resort for the first time in years (or ever). Frankly, you may have sociopathic tendencies if you don’t feel even the teensiest sparkle of magic as you cross over the threshold into the aptly nicknamed “Happiest Place on Earth”. Our…

WICKED (2024)
We strolled into the theater on a rainy winter night in the city to see Wicked with fairly neutral expectations. I was expecting a fun rendition of a beloved Broadway show that I have been singing along to as far back as middle school, long before seeing the Broadway stage show with my now-husband a…
AHSOKA SEASON 1 REVIEW
Welcome back to the Galaxy Far Far FAR away. Dave Filoni, a man held in the highest esteem amongst Star Wars nerds, successfully recaptures the magic of Star Wars in this new serial installment. Rosario Dawson’s understated rendition of the titular character, with her eternally calm demeanor and unshakable self-belief, makes her an instant classic…
STRANGER THINGS SEASON 4 REVIEW
This was hands down the best season of Stranger Things to date. Every episode felt like a cinematic event, which is apropos given the finale spanned over 2 hours and twenty minutes. Not only did season 4 introduce by far the best, most terrifying, villain of the series in Vecna, it also brilliantly tied a…
PEASANT BY MARC FORGIONE REVIEW
Marc Forgione seemingly can’t miss.. The Iron Chef continues to wow NYC diners at another one of his three Manhattan restaurants. Diners are greeted by an open fire with whole roasting suckling pigs and the restaurant gives off old Italian cottage in the woods vibes. Peasant feels rustic and unassuming, but don’t be fooled by…
THE (ONLY) DEFINITIVE MCU RANKINGS LIST
47. She-Hulk (2022) Speaking of Abominations … coming in at last place, this is by far and away our least favorite Marvel production to date. The CGI is disturbing at best and traumatizing at its worst. $200 million just doesn’t go as far as it used to (for reference Kingdom of the Planet of the…
