For every tourist who pukes on my bus (Almost Carrie, 1.27.12), there is another who is a true delight. After seven years of tours and 55 people per bus, the faces blur, but I do maintain a small collection of favorites. And despite the obvious frivolity of my job, there are still moments when I… Read more »
The other day I was running errands in my neighborhood when I thought I heard someone call my name. I looked over, saw someone I didn’t know, and assumed he must be referring to some other Lindsey. I turned up Robyn on my ipod (great break-up music, btw), but after three more Lindsey‘s the guy… Read more »
Love your beef with a side of pork, but dining with a friend who won’t go near the stuff? Contributor Kelly Moore hears your pain… I’ve been living in NYC for nearly 14 years, and I love going to new restaurants. I’m originally from the Midwest, so naturally I’m a meat-eater.

My internet connection, through some phenomenon completely unrelated to the construction, has been out for two… Read more »
I really, really liked my last relationship. The guy was awesome. We fell for each other instantly and were super compatible. He cooked, he had a huge stuffed dinosaur next to his bed that wore funky sunglasses, and he loved to take pictures of his poop—a total catch! The only problem was that he had… Read more »
AANY: What’s up? What’s going on? Lahiny: I need to get my back x-rayed, so off to a chiropractor I go. I’ve been having this back issue and I need to get it straight. Today that is what I’ll be focusing on and then I have appointments with some people to look at apartments. I… Read more »
Lately, I’ve felt like a hobbit in a world of texting giants. Let me explain. About two years ago, I participated in a documentary film called Among the Giants by a fantastic film maker named Cory Tomascoff. The film explored the challenges of being a smaller person trying to get around the busy streets of… Read more »
This interview took place inside Trinity Church, in the museum in the back. AANY: You have a wealth of knowledge. Beth: Actually I’ve worn a cork on a string around my neck, so just ‘stick a cork in it’ if I get too wordy because there is so much to say, and you know, I… Read more »
