Marisa Tom | March 15, 2011 8:00 amBefore I moved to New York, I didn't even know what a bodega was. Correction: I always referred to it as a deli or a convenience store (which it is!) but never as "the bodega" on the corner. How quickly things changed.Read More

Marisa Tom | March 11, 2011 8:05 amJust a couple weeks ago, we tipped you off to the Marc by Marc 10th anniversary festivities.

Not to fear, if you missed the kickoff, you can check out the sister special event at the Bloomingdale's SoHo location (504 Broadway, 212-729-5900) on Saturday, March 12, from 2 to 5 p.m.Read More

Here's a handful of weekend-minded tips for those not interested in staying indoors, doing taxes, or resting up for New York's version of Mardi Gras.Read More
Marisa Tom | March 3, 2011 8:01 amSlowly but surely, the Meatpacking District is making room for another kind of New Yorker — not just the club-obsessed but also the beauty-addicted. Here's where we stand: Polish makeup brand Inglot just opened its newest location above Chelsea Market, Sephora is planning to move into a 4,500-square-foot space in MePa, Bond No. 9 plans to open under the Highline, and now Kiehl's is hiring for its slated Spring MePa opening in the old Kimberly Taylor spot.Read More
