Often times when we think of casually enjoying a beautiful sunset on a warm summer's night, we envision ourselves on a beach with a preferred drink in hand. But, when traveling to a beautiful tropical island is not an option, it may serve as some consolation to know you can enjoy the sunset and a drink right here in New York City. Read more [...]
Big Tupper, Tupper Lake, NY
This past weekend the family and I headed out to The Adirondacks in Upstate New York to check out an interesting story about a community that has done some amazing things for itself.

Manhattan Mini Storage Searches for The Most Cluttered Apartment in NYC!
If you follow me on twitter, than you know that one of the things I most tweet about, aside from all the awesomeness to be found in New York City, is the lack of space to store all the awesomeness. And I know I am not alone on this. I've seen my friends' apartments...and they are tiny and a bit chaotic. But now is our chance to regain control [...]
