A NYC Guide to Sunday Fun

Want to have a perfectly fun Sunday in NYC? Then follow my guide...Please note, this can definitely be done alone, however, it is recommended that you double the pleasure with a pal.

Ingredients: good friends, trendy brunch spots, famous cupcakes, celebrity sightings, indie flicks, drinks in Tribeca and dinner at a bar/restaurant in Chelsea. Read on for details…

Get dressed and casually stroll to the infamous Cafeteria. Have a delicious brunch and indulge in all of the eye candy around you. Perfect conversation, re- live/re-enact your Friday/Saturday nights for each other. Then stroll in and out of a few stores, buy something you probably don't need and hit up Billy's Bakery. Lounge on the bench outside eating your yummy cupcakes and say your hellos to Chelsea local, Ethan Hawke.

Next, head down to the Angelika movie theater and pick something to see, there are always the latest independent films (my recent pick was Lars and the Real Girl-thumbs up!), so it is likely that you'll catch a good one. The walk from Chelsea through the West Village and over to SoHo is great. Perfect people watching and window shopping.

Walk on down to Tribeca. Enjoy the quietness of the quaint streets. Then settle in at the bar of the old, reliable Odeon. Try a Gosser beer, the bartender will back me on this. When the Odeon starts to feel a bit too cozy, head north on Hudson, and check out Red Cat for your next destination. Try to grab a seat at the bar and get drinks and food. It is quiet and cozy, perfectly lit and always delicious.

By this point, it is past dark, you are probably starting to feel a bit tired, it's around 9pm and the perfect time to get home early, get a good night's sleep and be refreshed for Monday morning. This relaxing day will get you through the stress of your week. Just make sure to repeat every Sunday for the full effect.

Wishing you plenty more Sunday Fun Days...

Welcome to Hollyhood!

Hello Everyone-
Welcome to my blog. Why Hollyhood Hills, you ask? Well, don't we all wish we (secretly or not) could at some point be part of the La-La Land lifestyle out there on the Left Coast? Well, we do- whether you are willing to admit it or not. So, this blog is designed to provide a free forum for our hopes, dreams and aspirations. Additonally, I would like to be able to bring all of my talented, creative friends together to share their latest ventures and to connect with each other.

Realistically speaking, I expect this forum will soon evolve into a celebrity sightings (they seem to be wherever my friends & I go), gossip, trends, news, reviews, beauty tips, war stories, who wore what, I made out with my boss last night, and an overall "We are there for you, Brit- Brit" community. After all, once we peel off all the talented and creative layers and step outside of our work lives- what better way to unwind and aspire, than living vicariously through our Hollyhood Hills role models, the ones who inspire us most.

Before we get too down and too dirty- please use the blog to share your creations, businesses and ideas. One day, we will all end up in the Hills.

Enjoy and Blog on!
