You, too, would love New York if you were living mi vida loca. Here are the top 5 reasons why I’m digging New York City right now…

1. The Today Show – It was a thrill to be on the show I watch every morning. I love the way they edited the Movin’ On party and makeover. And being interviewed by Al Roker was a special treat. He’s soo adorable and funny! I told him afterwards that Mr. XY and I have coffee with him every morning.
2. Meeting my idol Candace Bushnell – Today I met the one and only Candace Bushnell, creator of Sex & The City as well as the other novels Lipstick Jungle, Trading Up, and 4 Blondes. As a true S&TC junkie, it was crazy cool to chat with Ms. B about the real Mr. Big!
3. Mass transit – Having spent 15 years in the car culture capital known as La La Land, I am so loving the subway system! It was intimidating at first but now I feel like an old pro.
4. Savvy singles EVERYWHERE! Another bonus of living in a pedestrian-friendly city like New York – the chance to meet like-minded singles EVERYWHERE! In the subway, on the street, at your fave local eaterie or watering hole. While I’m happily hooked up with Mr. XY, I’ve noticed a cutie or two in my travels. Plus, the ladies in this city are smokin’ hot! I actually got the best compliment of my life the other day when this guy told me on the street that I was the Caucasian Beyonce. Now, we both know it ain’t true, but admittedly I strutted my stuff for a few blocks afterwards!
5. The fashion – New York and Paris have the most fashionable women by far. But I noticed in New York, the men are super stylish, too. Love that!
