Latest and Greatest from M&M

(courtesy of M&M's)

M&M's. That fabulous, famous, melt in your mouth, not in your hand, chocolate with the colorful candy shell. Over the years they have expanded their product line well beyond the original milk chocolate to include dark chocolate, almond, peanut, and, my personal favorite, peanut butter. Now, they have taken the peanut butter M&M a step further by adding, you guessed it, strawberry. Final, every child's favorite sandwich in a candy form! Does life get any better? These Strawberried Peanut Butter M&M's are only available for a limited time, so be sure to snag a pack while you still can.

Museum Mile Festival




The weather today would make any sane person want to roll over and go back to sleep, but there is at least one good reason to get out of bed today - the 31st annual Museum Mile Festival commences at 6 pm. Along 5th Avenue, stretching from 82nd Street to 105th Street, the festival lasts until 9 pm and is totally FREE! All 9 museums that call this section of 5th Avenue home are open late tonight and are waiving all admission fees. The festival is held rain or shine and 5th Avenue will be dotted with live bands and other entertainment instead of vehicular traffic for a change. So pull on your wellies and venture out because who can say no to an evening of puddle jumping and art?!

For all the details go to - http://www.museummilefestival.org/

*This year's 31st annual festival kicks off at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum with an opening ceremony, at 5:45pm, on the steps of its landmark building on Fifth Avenue @ 89th Street.

Tuesday Night Cocktails

You're only 2 days into the work week and the longing for a strong, yet delicious, cocktail has already begun. Lucky for you, the talented mixologists at Allen and Delancey got you covered. Their amazing, creative cocktails tantalize your taste buds while dulling the pain of still having 3 more work days left to get through. The real reason to go on Tuesday - the drinks are HALF PRICE! This means the cocktail that every other night of the week you would pay $13 for is only $6.50. Guess that means you can have a second...

Personal Assistant

Do you ever have those days where you're juggling so many things at once you find yourself having escapist fantasies about how easy life would be if only you had a personal assistant? Well you're not CEO of a Fortune 500 company yet, but that doesn't mean you can't have a personal assistant - a digital one at least. Check out Task.fm - the new, free way to get your disorganized life in order. Just go to the site, set up your account, and start scheduling your reminders. The application can send free reminders via email - but you can also get reminders via phone call or text message. The only downside, phone call and text message reminders have a fee - but it's pretty negligible - only $.10 per reminder - so you can get the reminders you need without breaking the bank. Go on, embrace the possibility of a digital personal assistant, because let's face it, you won't get a human one for at least another 10 years.

The Return of the Fulton Market

When the Fulton Fish Market closed a few years ago a great void was created along South Street and in the hearts of all New Yorkers. Beginning on Friday May 22, 2009, this deep chasm of despair will be filled by the joy of the new incarnation of South Street shopping - The Fulton Stall Market. The stalls will be filled by local purveyors of fresh produce and speciality foods and will be open Fridays and Saturdays all summer from 10am - 6pm. So rejoice New York - the Seaport's market tradition has been rejuvenated!

Making Your Move

Here's the situation: You've been sitting in front of your computer searching dining and entertainment sites for the last 45 minutes trying to decide where you and your 3 girlfriends should go on a Saturday night.

Why make yourself crazy when you can go to The Next Move and have your entire night planned out for you?
Simply 'Plan Your Move' by entering the when, where, what, and who details of the evening you had in mind and let the site do all the work.

Now if only you could find something to wear....
