Introducing Our Newest Outsider - Sasha
DecMon 2009 Filed in: In the Doghouse with Sasha
2. Why I’m cool: Starting next week, I’m the one that’s gonna bring you the coolest dogs and cats around town and give them the interview they deserve.
3. Where to find me: If you don’t see me out with my two dads José & Tim, I’m probably taking a nice nap waiting for you to give me a ring.
"After much begging, pleading and tail-wagging, the guys have finally let me be part of the team!”

New Yorkers often eat while on the go, and so there are all kinds of street food in New York. Dirty water dogs, sausages, bagels and pretzels are common street fare. There are also special food carts serving falafel, cupcakes, dumplings, crepes and homemade ice cream.
In the colder months, street carts sell roasted chestnuts. You can see the steam rising from baskets of chestnuts in the cold night air.

City Grub Under $10
DecMon 2009 Filed in: City Grub
Where: Spice Restaurant 199 8th Avenue (between 20th &21st) Manhattan
Cost: $8.25
With a gazillion new Thai restaurants that have opened up in the past five years, let me save you some time. I’ve been coming to this joint for years and Spice never disappoints. If you want to steer away from the traditional Pad Thai, you should dive into their Cashew Nuts medley with chicken (or any choice of meat or veggies). Here’s the kicker: you get a free appetizer! Anything from yummy shrimp fritters to an Asian Caesar salad, you can’t beat the price or the food.

Deena's Artist Exposed
DecMon 2009 Filed in: Deena's Artist Exposed
Deena: “I can check a life-long wish: fulfilled ("check"). I have always imagined that a man would one day draw me. I pictured it slightly different, but this was surely closer than anything I ever would think. I wanted it on the train, and it was. It was a man, which I had hoped. It was a drawing, and it was of me. But I'll pretend to leave out that he had already drawn another person before me, and I knew it was happening when it was my turn. It is his art done live, and regardless of the actual occurrence, it made my year (or longer)!"

Reflecting with David - Reiki
DecMon 2009 Filed in: Reflecting With David
Reiki
In the past few weeks I have spoken of a few modalities and one of the first practices I learnt was Reiki. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy".
Reiki is an ancient, gentle, hands-on Energy Balancing Therapy. The Japanese word Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) describes a system for tapping into the Universal Life Force, sometimes referred to as Chi or Qi (pronounced Chee) the energy that creates and sustains all life. Infinite and unlimited, chi is the essence that gives vitality to form.READ MORE...
