Every year in late November, Lincoln Center celebrates Winter’s Eve at Lincoln Square. Celebrities and performers come out in numbers to witness the lighting of the Christmas Tree. This is one of my favorite areas of NYC, and seeing it lit up with holiday lights just makes my heart burst with excitement.

Stay in the know by making sure you check out all the details and information at http://www.winterseve.org/ for this fun annual NYC event.

Most of the Lincoln Square retailers will be open late the night of Winter’s Eve, offering holiday cheer and special values just for this evening. See you there!

Love that we’re spending the rest of our week in Love that we’re spending the rest of our week in Corning, NY. It’s become so familiar and cozy to us and is a wonderful place for walking around and taking in everything from the museums to the restaurants, and now the farmers markets. Just some of my favorite spots - and really, this is the short list: @rockwellmuseum for their thoughtful and beautiful exhibits featuring a diversity of artists from all over the world. @cardcarryingshop, the local feminist bookstore which not only has a wonderful collection of books but also is committed to local activism and other community work. @laurabellescupcakery, an LGTBQ-owned bakery with some of the best cupcakes anywhere. @soulfullcup owned by a Persian American woman who is also the founder and CEO of Trade Haus, which advocates for fair trade to benefit small farms and women in Africa. But also, makes a killer cappuccino! Make sure to show them some love when visiting the area! . . . #myflx #fingerlakes #corningny #supportlocal #shopsmall #smalltown #iloveny
Edited to add: EdibleFLX responded to this post on Edited to add: EdibleFLX responded to this post on their feed. I wish them and no one any ill will. I think that was clear. This is an industry problem. Creative work merits payment, regardless of pride or titles. When I announced my new role as the new Digital Editor for Edible Finger Lakes so many of you came out to tell me how excited you were for me. Thank you. So as I reached two months and my last day I wanted to share that I have stepped away from the role and learned something in the process. Though the print writers get paid, I had no budget as digital to do so. I refused to reach out to writers - a big part of my job - for unpaid work. I think a lot of us go into impossible situations and tolerate intolerable things because we believe that by being there we can make it better. I am not sure if this was my ego and my faith that I would be able to do all the things I was told I had freedom to do. Either way, I am left humbled. But I had also given an ultimatum at my start: either we start to pay online writers or I can’t do the work. I was very clear and very firm on this stance. Pay inequity is an arm of social injustice, income inequality, and further emboldens lack of diversity and representation. This is true everywhere especially in media. And so for all the other things I could’ve and would’ve tolerated, not paying writers was not one of them. It is non-negotiable in any work I do or anything I represent and so I walked away. But I am left with the hope still that this will change and that this publication, so full of potential, will make it. And that more diverse voices find room on its pages - in print or online. But mostly, that people get paid for their work, their time, their craft, and their skill. Because it is the right thing to do. I am left humbled by the truth that I can’t fix everything or change anyone who doesn’t want it regardless of what I can do or know. There are talented contributors who donate their craft to this publication and I am honored to have worked with them. I encourage you all to support their work. Thank you all again for all the love. And know that so many exciting things are already happening for me.
I love Geneva, NY. It’s got its pretty solid com I love Geneva, NY. It’s got its pretty solid community of hipsters and even stronger Black and Latinx communities. In addition to the highly promoted breweries and distilleries and such - all which are great, you will also find Puerto Rican restaurants, and a Puerto Rican bakery, a delicious Indian restaurant, a pretty yummy Thai eatery, and even Soul food. Go to the local beach on a sunny weekend afternoon and you will hear an equally eclectic mix of music, from country to reggaetón. There are 11 different neighborhoods in Geneva and we stayed in the Historic South. A short walk from our house was Pulteney Park, home to the statue “Our Lady of Peace”. This statue has a direct view of Seneca Lake between two row houses. Supposedly, a house was built in front of the statue, blocking the lake view. It burned down. Then another house was built. It too burned down. Then a third. And this one also burned downed, and thus it was made clear that The Lady wanted her lake view and so she has it forever unobstructed. It’s a vibrant, rich, beautifully diverse community - just another gem of the Finger Lakes added to the list of why my love affair with this region is so great. . . . #fingerlakes #genevany #myflx #smallcity #collegetown #nytown #roadtrip #iloveny @flxwinecountry @visitflx
