I’ve always resisted breaks. I like to power through things. Since the day I started Where I Need to Be — June 6, 2009 to be exact — blogging has been something I’m passionate about. I’ve always defined myself as a writer at my core and there is nothing I would rather do than share my advice and insights here… Read More
Working a desk job always gave me a case of what I termed the “desk doldrums,” the inevitable feeling of zapped energy that comes on strong either mid-morning or late afternoon.

In a city with more than 4,000 restaurants, I’ve always been challenged to find a good wine bar — and by good I mean one where the wine selection is as good as the food. In TriBeCa, though, I didn’t have to wander far to find just that. Terroir TriBeCa is popular among Financial District Happy Hour goers who come… Read More
I never thought Iβd say this, but … I canβt wait to put on a bikini this summer! When I took a hiatus from running last month, I was hopeful that I could find an enjoyable workout to replace it.
