Perusing Vogue this AM I read that The Viceroy has recently opened a resort in the Maldives. I have been salivating ever since I heard the news (have a look and share in my wonderment). I’m totally open to anyone that wants to whisk me away for a week.

PSA for the ladies of NYC…Agent Provocateur is having a MASSIVE sale. I just bought a bra there for…wait for it…$20. Get your butt down to SoHo asap before all the goodness is picked over.
“It’s senseless, at least in the absence of divine agency, to declare that any two people were made for each other, yet we say it all the time, to sustain our belief that it’s sensible for them to pair up. The conceit can turn the search for someone into a search for that someone, which is fated to end in futility or compromise, whether conducted on the Internet or in a ballroom. And yet people find each other, every which way, and often achieve something that they call happiness.”
-Nick Paumgarten, From this amazing article about dating in The New Yorker

Governor’s Island is AMAZING. It’s a free 5 min ferry ride from the city, is majorly bike friendly (you can rent on the island if need be), makes you feel like you stumbled into the quaintest small town USA you’ve ever seen, has an ETSY store and a picnic area with hammocks, sculptures and perfect views of the Statue of Liberty. I will be back.
NEW YORK CITY
Whenever I’m in NYC, I feel like I’m playing in a giant game of “Find the Poop.” That entire city smells like somone just took a dump behind you.
ME: “Do you guys smell that?”
THEM: Yeah, but you can get sushi at 4AM! Sushi!

I am dying to see this new Errol Morris movie. I worked on a project with him years ago, the man is bananas, but a genius. Plus, this story, how amazing does it sound?!
Really dig these Tom’s boat shoes, but only available for boys. Bummer. With my freakishly small feet the men’s sizing just won’t cut it.

Finally got around to reading the NY Mag piece on Miss America, who just happens to be from my home state of Nebraska. This chick and Tracy Flick have alarming similarities.
This song always puts me in a good mood. It was also on the radio the moment I decided to leave LA for NYC.
I was going to write up my experience with Rosie + Faris on Saturday, but she beat me to it. So fun, you must go!
On Saturday, I was taken on a surprise date in which it turned out I was an accomplice of criminals who got their boss outta jail. I have to say, when I showed up at the South Street Seaport, I was expecting to go on a tour around NYC, not join some elite crime force
Instead, we acted as middlemen in an organized-crime scheme which required us to deliver several items all across downtown NYC.
Much like Sleep No More, Accomplice is a deconstructed theatre experience, but it’s also a game. And instead of heading to the theatre, the city becomes your stage. A phone call the day before you’re scheduled to “play” tells you when and where to show up, but other than that,you’re left clueless.
While the experience is not directly guided, the clues were easy enough to get us to the next place we needed to be, but hard enough that it took some investigating. The real fun is in deciphering which people are actors, part of the game, and which people are random bystanders on the street. As Time Out New York says, “The kaleidoscopic flux of lower Manhattan, inevitably, ends up being one of Accomplice’s key partners in crime.”
Neil Patrick Harris was such a huge fan of Accomplice: NY (see the video above) that he worked with the founders to co-produce Accomplice: Hollywood. Case in point: It’s good.
If you’re looking for a fun way to spend your afternoon, trying to entertain tourists or just looking to get into some mischief, Accomplice will not disappoint. Curious? Read Time Out NY’s review or check out their FAQ. (via We Fought the Law, But the Law Won: Accomplice NY « Hudson/Houston)

Josh Hartnett probably won’t be returning to the Memory Bar & Motel in Montauk anytime soon. On Sunday night, sources tell us the 32-year-old actor paid a visit to the local hangout made famous by the 1976 Rolling Stones song — but never made it past the front door. When a high-spirited Hartnett jumped the lengthy line to get into the venue, a security guard blocked him from entering. “Don’t you know who I am?” a source tells us Hartnett balked. To which the bouncer responded that “Everyone is someone in the Hamptons.” Hartnett’s status wasn’t helped when a bystander ID’d him. This moved the guard to add that the actor had made “a bunch of sh—y movies.” Not surprisingly, Hartnett slunk away soon after that. His spokeswoman confirmed the actor was in Montauk this past weekend, but insisted “he did not visit” the Memory. Witnesses tell us otherwise.
