2019, What’s Good?
Happy 1 Year of Shaytakesthecity.com! I still remember where I was when I decided to start my little personal passion project. I had such a desire to give you all an insight to my life. I aimed to provide insight to the good, the bad, and the Rosé moments of my life. Let’s take a moment to address the elephant in the blogosphere. I haven’t written a post since August 2018. Ahh, how dare I give you such dope content over 2018 and proceed to drop off the face of the blogosphere. I will allow you to start booing me, especially after my big comeback post in August, but let…

A Tiny Turbulence Never Hurt Anybody
Guess who’s back, back again– Shay’s back, tell a friend– Guess who’s back, guess who’s back? At this moment I truly feel like that Eminem song– about his comeback to the music game. I am back from my unplanned hiatus from the blogosphere. Over the last month I have learned that it is crucial to take a break from your craft to allow your creative juices to replenish. Without planned or even unplanned breaks, something that you love can easily turn into a chore. I am actually happy that I took my break. I have had time to process a lot of changes, and so many great things have happened…

Say Yes to the Wedding Date
It has been officially 6 months since I got engaged, so much has happened but yet so little wedding planning.

Last week Friday marked the most critical part of the planning wedding process: we chose our wedding venue and wedding date. Before selecting the venue we were asked a very tough question by a wedding coordinator, “what is…

Happy Hour 101
The first rule of happy hour is: you do not talk about happy hour. The second rule of happy is: you DO NOT talk about happy hour! Hopefully you are both young enough or old enough to get that reference. If you are like me, you were first introduced to the concept of happy hour when you dove into the workforce. Somehow working and discounted drinks seem to blend perfectly. I must admit that I did not understand the concept of happy hour when it was initially presented to me. It seemed like an excuse to drink. Do not get me wrong, it might look like that on the outside…

Rain Rain Go Away, Come Again on a Weekday
A few weeks ago, I enthusiastically wrote about Spring 2018 being cancelled. Oh boy, was I completely wrong. I fell for the lure of the outdoor patios and rooftops because they promised me memories of my favorite Summertime activities. As I sit here on a packed subway train with a soaking wet shoe and a gloomy sky, I realize that Spring is in full swing. We have reached the perfect combination of rainy mornings, cloudy afternoons, and unmotivated city dwellers. The smiles that were once painted on everyone’s face is replaced with the dread of leaving the house to brave the rain. Over the last few weeks I have found…
