Guide to Summer in New York City

Summer is here and that means lots time in the sun getting that perfectly sun kissed skin that has been missing all winter. Days out of the HOSPITAL should be cherished and well spent. Summer in New York City is one of my favorite things ever! People are out, Central Park is full of picnics, and Rooftop bars are the place to be. Take a look at some of my personal favorites...

A couple of my favorite spots that are MUST visits for Summer 2011:


The Peninsula Hotel Salon de Ning (700 5th avenue)

Stories from the ER: The Joplin Tornado Experience

Being from Kansas I grew up around Tornadoes. Now that I am a New York City gal, I seem so far from a world filled with basements and Tornado Sirens...
St. John's Regional Medical Center

My heart goes out to all those affected.

Check out this amazing link where you can read about one ER doctor's experience during the Joplin Tornado. Well worth it!
