written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

The internet has been buzzing about this phone for months. First a teaser by Samsung, then a lavish party and now commercials all detailing the magnificent capabilities of this smart phone. I finally got my hands on the S4 just to see what all the fuss is about. I currently own a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit which is an android device with a 3.7 inch screen and a camera with only 3.0 mp resolution. Imagine my complete awe at simply turning on the brand new S4 and viewing the 5 inch full HD display and using the 13 mp camera. it was truly mind-blowing. Along with the crisp screen images and amazing camera here are some of my favorite features:

Nightlife Review: No. 8 NY

by Desha Winborne
written by Desha Winborne 1 minutes read

Location: 357 West 16th Street

Cuisine: Lite Fair or small plates

Items: 4 small plates, 4 cocktails, 1 dessert

Best Dish: This was a toss-up between the amazing grilled cheese and the decadent Oreos.  If you love cheese you simply have to have the grilled cheese, it is everything you ever wanted in a grilled cheese sandwich. If sweets are your thing you can not miss the fried Oreos. These are not your carnival-style treats, these Oreos have been elevated to new heights. They are not greasy at all and arrive warm with a spice chocolate sauce for dipping.

Overall: A casual warm space to live out your sophisticated nightlife fantasies. No sagging pants allowed, this is a place for the grown and sexy.

Having a BBQ this summer will be as easy as visiting your nearest Burger King. Last week the home of the Whopper held a summer fun event at the Chelsea Glasshouses. Guests enjoyed a spectacular view, a rooftop deck, a whopper bar and a sampling of the new summer menu. Chefs were on hand to customize your Whopper along with top Burger King Execs who gave some insight into the new menu options. The inspiration for the seasonal additions to the menu derive from distinct regional barbecue flavors.  Carolina’s tangy mustard infused BBQ sauce and Memphis style hickory smoke are the predominant flavor profiles of the season and are featured on the whopper as well as on two new pork sandwiches.  BK fans will love the new pulled pork and riblet sandwiches this summer along with frozen lemonades and sumptuous desserts.

Location: 461 West 23rd Street

Cuisine: French and Italian
