Magic Mushrooms
I’ve been eating A LOT of mushrooms lately, and couldn’t help but wonder if there were any health benefits associated with this yummy… fungi. Turns out all mushrooms are loaded with essential nutrients like selenium (good for the bladder), iron, antioxidants, vitamins B2 and B3, potassium, they also increase the production of antiviral and other proteins that help with repairing body tissues and enhancing the immune system.

Love, love, love with #TheLuckyOne
I went and saw The Lucky One yesterday and I thought it was really good. A lot of clichés but I don’t think that’s a surprise and I also don’t think that’s what makes the movie negative (I’ve been seeing a lot of negative responses toward the movie).
Maybe I’m playing favorites…I love Nicholas Sparks’ books & I’m a fan of Zac Efron 🙂 . The movie also stars Taylor Schilling and a really cute German shepherd. You can’t hate on the dog (Zeus) if you hate the movie!
Any opinions?
Mention #TheLuckyOne
You can also ‘Tweet’ to unlock an exclusive clip from either Zac Efron or Nicholas Sparks

Loving @Thai_Kitchen Daily
Chef @CorrineTrang opened our sensory world at the second annual NY Press Preview for Thai Kitchen this past week! Thai Kitchen is absolutely fabulous and the event totally blew our minds. All the press that attended were all smiles. The amazing tasting, the impeccable decor and the knowledgeable staff and chef Corrine make everything perfect.

@VillageVoice’s #ChoiceStreets
It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Village Voices’s extraordinary beverage and culinary events. I’ve sampled craft beers at Brooklyn Pour, and most recently, nearly munched myself into a blissful coma at Choice Eats.
On Tuesday, I will be attending Choice Streets,Village Voice’s first annual food truck tasting event.
Every New Yorker has her favorite food truck. You know, the one that you stand in line for 20 minutes at without a care in the world, the one you’ll stalk on Twitter to see where its parked so that you can hunt it down and satisfy that craving? Well, that one, plus 20 others (for a total of 21!) will be gathered at Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum on Tuesday, April 24. This all means that next week, I am in for an unfathomably delicious experience!
I would tell you to run out and buy your ticket, but the event sold out in a record 5 days! So, what I will say is, make sure you stay tuned for my post-event coverage, and next year, be sure to purchase you ticket ASAP!
