Despite my many experiences, it’s pretty evident from the list below that there is still a lot that I haven’t done. This list includes everything from things to do, places to go, food to try etc. But the list is way too short right now! I need your suggestions.

| Go to a bonfire on the beach | |

Here is an NYC must! Grab a friend, hop into a taxi and say “please drop us off at the COOLEST underground nightclub in the city”. I did this once (when I was in my 20′s and WAY fearless)…it was an amazing experience. The club was in an old, rundown building, no sign BUT had the best DJ, bartenders and staff – to this day it ranks #1 for “best nightclub”. The only problem? I would never be able to find it again, I have no idea where it was – HA! Catina
Awesome adventure Catina! Although from my experience, I think the outcome of the question would depend entirely on who your cabbie happened to be. : )
My husband suggests you try the Rainbow Roll for sushi, but my daughter swears by the Spicy Tuna Rolls.
Yup, I’ve determined that I’m a spicy tuna girl. : )
When it comes to raw fish, avocado = training wheels. Trust me on this. I’m holding the back of your banana seat, and I won’t let go.
If you are going to try sushi in NYC, you have to go to Nobu…Nobu is the best at sushi and when you are just starting to explore, only the best sushi will do!
Awesome! Thanks so much for the suggestion!
I had a personal spine-tingling moment recently: seeing Michelangelo’s “Pieta” in St. Peter’s Basilica. I nearly cried. Seriously. It wasn’t a religious experience or anything. Since I was a kid, I have always been haunted by the sculpture. It is perfect in so many ways. As an artist, it has always moved me. Standing a few dozen feet away from it was indescribable.
If you can imagine fulfilling some childhood dream that makes your hair stand on end…heck, go do that. Screw the obstacles. Tell the Lizard Brain to go shove it, and do that thing, whatever it is!
