“Brooklyn Bridge Boot Camp- Central Park Edition” – by Sara Logan Hofstein

May 21, 2013 by rhapcityblog

This past Friday, I decided to try the Brooklyn Bridge Boot Camp in Central Park. One of my New Year’s resolutions (yes, I’m still keeping track of them) was not only to exercise, but also to lift weights alongside the cardio. The blend of calisthenics and running offered by boot camps seemed a perfect way to meet that goal. I chose the Brooklyn Bridge Boot Camp because of unsolicited recommendations from friends at work. I call them my health buddies—we […]

“Dear New York”- by Eric Harper

May 13, 2013 by rhapcityblog

Dear New York, I’m a little embarrassed. I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to correspond formally, but I think we both needed some space. Well, I shouldn’t speak for you. I needed some space. Space to breathe and space to think. Because, honestly, when I moved out, I felt like I was finally thinking clearly for the first time since the day I moved in. The year and some odd months in between these two significant bookends were some […]

“I’ll Eat Bette Last”- by Dana Craig

May 8, 2013 by rhapcityblog

So, here’s the thing. Bette Midler is completely satisfying. Her return to Broadway is very exciting for me, as Bette is a rather heavy-duty influence in my life. It passed the “unhealthy” stage about 10 years ago somewhere in high school. I have been known to cut a bitch who counters my steadfast belief that Bette Midler is performer perfection. Having said that, I must offer up a disclaimer for the statements that follow: What you are about to read is not a […]

“New York Memories”- by Benjamin Johnson

May 1, 2013 by rhapcityblog

Our apartment was on 82nd Street, between Columbus and Central Park West. It was myself, my sister, Erin, and Joelle who lived together, on the ground floor, down a small set of stairs. I remember a young couple who lived there but we, or I, would only see them in passing. A couple blocks down, the Natural History Museum. Of course I walked in the park a lot. I would enter on 81st, where the Diana Ross Playground is. Even […]

“I’d Like To Propose A Toast: 15 Reasons Why New York City Will Miss Elaine Stritch”- by Adam Ceschin

April 28, 2013 by rhapcityblog

1. Manhattanites used to wake every morning to Elaine Stritch hanging from the tip of the Empire State Building yelling “RISE!” into a mega phone. 2. Saks Fifth Avenue will have to make up for the dramatic drop in sales of gaudy fur coats. 3. Gone is the irony of Elaine going out to lunch in the city. Ladies Who Lunch 4. Paul McCartney will be stepping in to play all the old bitter brassy lady roles on Broadway. 5. The Carlyle […]

” Woody Allen Gives ZERO F**KS About What You Think And Other New York-isms”- by Adam Ceschin

April 14, 2013 by rhapcityblog

Jesus H. Minnelli, I miss NYC. I lived there only a year but I’ve always felt, I’m talking early childhood on, that I was a New Yorker. It’s just in me. Maybe that’s why I left after only a year? I knew if I didn’t get out then, I would stay there forever. New York feels natural to me. Especially Manhattan, which is an entity unto her own. A self analyzing beast that is equally floated by it’s over-educated self-righteousness […]
