by Chrysa Smith New York is always interesting to visit. You just never know what you're going to find there. And with one of the best seasons coming up to do the city, take a tip from someone who spent today wanting for more. Every year, I do an outing with a long-time friend. We head up to New York City and do facials at Mario Badescu. It's a wonderful European skincare salon [...]
by Chrysa Smith There I was sitting in my family room. It was Friday night. And there they were on the couch. My husband on one side, son on the other. Both had their right legs up, crossed over their left. And in each guys hands---a video game. My dog Bobby was pushed against me, licking his---uh---huu-huu. And my other dog Geezie? He was sleeping.

by Chrysa Smith I admit it. I'm a NYC snob. Well, at least I use to be. Because, if you've ever seen that poster--A New Yorker's View of the World---you'd know that it begins at the Hudson River; ends at the East River. Period. The end.
