We always knew servers were seriously underpaid, but in some restaurants in New York, management have been accused of stealing tips from servers, who can make as little as $4.60 per hour. This is from The Gothamist.
1 year ago, waiters at Chinatown restaurant Jing Fong accused management of taking tip money to pay dim sum cart ladies. Now, another restaurant's managers are under fire for...

A little something from The Gothamist in NYC to make all of us renters feel better about ourselves...
The assumption that buying is preferable to renting is so ingrained in our national real estate psyche, that to suggest otherwise could result in someone questioning your financial, if not actual, sanity. The New York Times did some serious nationwide number crunching, however, and is...

IAmFashion's take of the Spring collection at Zara.
First of all I have to say I am a HUGE Zara fan so excuse this somewhat biased and overly-enthusiastic post. OK, so I love Zara -it usually sells clothes that are totally fashionable and right on the mark. But the great thing about Zara that I like above all the other high street stores is that Zara's high end 'inspired'...

It's A Monkey always makes us laugh with her quirky posts and anecdotes. This is a short one, but funny - and fitting for sick season.
Current illness count on my team at work: 7/9. Those two non-ill people? Amoungst them, me. In order to bring up the energy in the room, I have fallen back into the role of manically energetic fool. Today, when I came to the conclusion that it's more...

What drives your shopping habits? Do you go for quality or the best price? You probably have different criteria when you are out for groceries than when you troll the mall. You might get just as excited about organic apples and potatoes as you did during the after-Christmas sales when you spent your rent money on shoes - but of course shoes are an investment, and end-of-season sales are unique...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basMy husband has been raving about this place for a while. I finally had a chance to check it out yesterday. It is amazing!!! The best sandwich I've ever had. The selection is fantastic. You can either select a recommended sandwich (I had the grilled veggies) or you can make your own. They have the most delicious bread selection. I had the rosemary focaccia. Wow! Everything comes with salad and...

Want to finally quit smoking? There is an interesting article on WebMD, which suggests that eating foods that go well with cigarettes like coffee or alcohol may actually boost the tobacco taste, making it harder to quit.

Another goodie from IAmFashion...
This season, take the white blouse out from under the suit/sweater/vest and try something new. You can always simply pair them with jeans, but here are a few other cool suggestions: Roll up the sleeves and wear them loose over bermuda shorts for a casual look. This look works especially well with white blouses with a longer and looser fit and a bit a detail or...

[Grated Carrot Salad with Avocado] This one's from Chocolate & Zucchini.

And because the tone of writing is very personal, I've asked to translate my own words: the recipes themselves are taken care of by a pro, while I...
