NYC Restaurant Must-Eat List
Photo by: Steve Credo
Through the years I’ve made zillions of lists. One that I return to most often is my “Eating List for NYC.” I give it to friends and family whenever they visit New York and I add to it if I find a truly exceptional place.
I recently had the pleasure of being a guest blogger for a friend I met on Twitter — Marnely Rodriguez is a pastry chef, foodie and writer from the Dominican Republic. She wrote a guest post for me called “Must-Have Baking Tool List.” When she heard about my New York City restaurant list — she was thrilled and couldn’t believe she hadn’t been to any of them yet!
You can check out the list here on her blog “Cooking with Books.”
Being prepared with a list (about anything!) will help you enjoy any activity much more. This is especially true when it comes to looking for restaurants. I make a restaurant list whenever I go to a new city. (Check out my Chicago picks.) By doing a little research beforehand — you end up with a delicious experience!

2. What do you make lists about?
I like everyone that works with me to keep two kinds of lists: action lists for any follow up items as well as checklists for repeatable activities.
3. How often do you make lists?
There is not a day that goes by that I am not given multiple checklists and action lists to look at. Read more
Shopping for Clothes with a List
This weekend my husband was cleaning out his closet – so I was inspired to do the same thing. Our approaches were quite different – he was done in 10 minutes after giving each item a quick glance.
I, on the other hand, had to try on EVERYTHING with the right shoes and undergarments. Please! How am I supposed to know if it still looks good without seeing the whole look? This process took me two hours. (I have a lot of clothes.)
Closet-Cleaning Strategy
I made five piles to keep myself organized as I went through my clothes and shoes:
1. Keep: Stuff that I have worn in the past six months and look really good on me.
2. Donate: Stuff that I really loved at one point but no longer fits, I’m tired of wearing or I’ve never actually worn (I know I’m not the only one who has done this! Right?) If you don’t know where to donate your clothes — here’s a list for “Getting Rid of Stuff.” Read more
