Everyone Has An Ice Cream Story

Maryellis Bunn

The home stretch of winter seems like a silly time to write about ice cream but here we are. I was never that into ice cream, not even as a kid. But people change. I’m an ice cream person now. I’ll save my ice cream story for a future, 5-part column. Better yet, it will be included in my tell-all memoir, of which Katie Honan will edit, but she doesn’t know it yet. Over the summer I’d go to Mara’s Ice Cream Parlor a few times a week with my […]

Art At Home

Social media has a whole new meaning to us now. It’s our only source of socializing during this long moment of “PAUSE”.  The silver lining for many of us during this crisis is more free time. As the weeks pass, I’m noticing more and more creativity on our social platforms. We’re adapting and communicating in new ways. For me, with this freedom, I’ve started drawing again. I’ve been inspired by artwork on my friends’ Instagram feeds. My Saturday nights are now spent at the dining room table, drawing and painting, […]

There’s so much fun happening like BBQ’s and beach days that I haven’t been keeping up with my grams of the week. This past weekend my friends Keith and Naomi had an awesome party… with tons of food!

Here’s a recap of the best instagrams of last week. If you want the day to day follow me here! It’s Monday. How many of us wish we could still be under the covers like Johnny? I’m growing mini glorified tomatoes! I haven’t grown veggies from seeds in years. It’s so much fun watching them grow. Now, I have much more invested in these baby plants! I spied this red seated toilet under the el by the Surf Club. I had to post it! Finally, I’ve tried Cuisine By Claudette’s new veggie burger – […]

blue crab rockaway beach

Here’s a recap of the best instagrams of last week. If you want the day to day follow me here! I’ve been waking up with the birds these days. One morning I made my coffee and ran over to the beach to catch the sunrise. Not a bad way to start the day! On another walk to the beach I came across this beautiful  female (red tips) Chesapeake blue crab. Native to the western Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, these crustaceans are common and delicious to eat. I was happy to see  this […]

Here’s a recap of the best instagrams of last week. If you want the day to day follow me here! I saw my moms favorite group Home Free on Staten Island with her and my sister at the St. George Theater (beautiful architecture!) this week. I’m kinda obsessed with Staten Island  now (Shaolin!!), in particular the St. George area. There’s so much to say but I don’t want to give it all up because I’m planing on writing about it for my Wave Column, so stay tuned. I woke up one […]

Here’s a recap of the best instagrams of last week. If you want the day to day follow me here! My Friend Theo stayed over this weekend and made amazing veggie tacos (Thx u Theo!). These were made with spiced sweet potatoes, caramelized onion, roasted red peppers and ricotta.  Why am I not making tacos once a week? Lefty has been so adorable lately. He likes sleeping on the radiator in the bathroom! On the cat note, Fivey has really taken to the new Valentine’s Day blanket I got at Unique the […]

But I’ve been going into the city for meetings – it’s a lot of  back and forth. At least I can kill some time by taking sad rainy instagram pictures… A few days ago it felt almost like spring. I went outside and took these winter garden photos (above). Ahhhh but only a few days later the snow […]
