Gripes and Guides
I have been taking a little break from my blogging here, as well as from crochet/Etsy, but just a few facts to report. Various freelance writing opportunities have been keeping me busy, among other things…
I have a very small piece in Time Out magazine about my “gripe” with New York post offices. “The gripe” is a semi-new, submission-based feature that is your platform for complaining about anything in New York. I have a much larger piece I occasionally add to, on account of my frequent post office trips, but I condensed it to this 200-word version.
I am the Manhattan “creative and local writing maven” for a fun new website called Guidespot. Basically the site will be full of guides for anything and everything: lonely old man bars, a guy’s guide to a marriage proposal, Patriot Day in Massachusetts, etc. Check out my content, thus far, and of course, spread the word.

I love that you blogged about cupcakes for guidespot. We used to have an awesome cupcake place next to my office and it closed. Now there are 2, yep, 2!!! cupcake places in DC. I think that is what’s really wrong with my city, the lack of cupcakes. I’m planning on doing a pizza pilgrimage to NYC at some point (like eat Pizza for a weekend and try all the various and sundry types of pizza places) , but maybe I should make it a pizza/cupcake pilgrimage to NYC. And speaking of cupcakes, I found an awesome site the other day which I swear has every cupcake recipe ever created on it–http://www.cupcakeblog.com/
