The biggest date night of the year is slowly approaching. With just a little under 2 weeks before the main event it is time to start making some reservations or at least exploring options. If you and sugar lips have a sweet tooth we suggest you indulge that urge with a trip to the Sugar Factory. We ventured to Times Square and sampled their Valentine Day menu. This year the menu is full of fun flirty nostalgic options that will satisfy the sugar obsessed kid in you and the booze loving adult. The assortment of items include quirky cocktails with cotton candy and theatrical dry ice, adventurous appetizers with sexy cheese pulls and spicy Cheeto dust, hearty beefy entrees and a selection of decadent sweets.

written by Sia-Alika Battle 1 minutes read

First it was an award winning play by David Mamet titled “Sexual Perversity In Chicago,”. Then it became an iconic 80’s movie starring Demi Moore and Rob Lowe.

Now in a new version starring Kevin Hart, Joy Bryant, Regina Hall, and Michael Ealy, About Last Night is the funniest date movie I’ve seen in a long time.The movie follows a year in the life of a foursome of friends. Micheal Ealy and Joy Bryant are Danny and Debbie the romantic center of the movie. They make a gloriously beautiful couple that you can’t help but root for. Their sexual chemistry is off the charts from scene one.
