Ugh. The apartment is engulfed in a miasma of damp stickiness. The air conditioners have gone missing. Thunderstorms seem permanently stalled over our street (actually, this is rather cool, in a scary sort of way). My fingers are so swollen that I can barely bend them to type. You know what that means – it is officially a veg day! Time to go surfing.
Charlie Suisman’s Manhattan User's Guide: Charlie Suisman is, to me, the prototypical New Yorker. Funny, irreverent, insightful, opinionated and always engaging, Mr. Suisman’s MUG email is a daily treat. I highly recommend signing up. Added bonus for New Yorkers: his tips on shopping and services in the city are THE BEST.
Apartment Therapy: Gotta love me some Apartment Therapy. Advice, tips, pictures, finds, trends, you name it; if it has to do with a (typically) small-spaced apartment, AT will have it covered. Their daily scavenger posts are a morning ritual for me, and yes, I have actually bought things from this list. It is a great resource for NYC living (and los angeles and chicago and san francisco, now that they are branching out to other cities), but what I most love about AT is their lightheartedness. This is a community that treats a well designed and organized home not like some sacred cow, but as fun (and lifelong) romp in the park. Tip for those going to check it out: the comments from readers are often fantastic and filled with a lot of esoteric tidbits. Added bonus: the kitchen. A room well worth its own blog. I love these guys.
The Morning News: A daily compendium of what is right, wrong, and weird with the world. I have been reading this site for more than a few years, and have found that TMN consistently culls and posts the best pieces on the hot topics of the day. But the editors also manage to sprinkle in links to terrific “soft” stories on culture and the arts, plus links to things that can only be called bizarre. The result is daily snapshot of what the world is up to that is fittingly absurd. It’s a great way to start the morning. Added bonus: their Features. Golden.
