My counter is in between my sink and stove, so I don't run into any problems, aside from the fact the counter is teeny tiny. My mom once thought buying me a left handed can opener was a brilliant idea, but I can barely use it!


On Being Left-Handed In a Tiny Kitchen

NYC sinks never seem to have enough room to handle my beauty routine. My new apartment's bathroom doesn't have any electric sockets, I just use my desk as a vanity. It's worked very well, especially since my laptop is hooked up to my tv. Most work and internet surfing is done from my couch. I might consider covering the desk with fabric like in the photo above.

I am so excited! I've been staring at their website for months while waiting for my move next month. I work in Soho so now I can walk over to see the samples.

I'm left-handed and my mom thought it would be a great idea to buy me a left-handed can opener. I can't even use the thing, because for most of my life I've just used my right hand!

I bought a Vornado fan last year. There was a bit of an issue with it smelling funny, but their customer service was top notch in assiting me with my problem, and for my troubles they've promised me 20% off for life. I need white noise to sleep, so I use the fan daily and haven't had any issues since. Nice to know they're made in the US!

I eat them semi regularly and while it is not anywhere as tasty as pasta, the it is simliar enough for me to not mind eating eating a bag from time to time. 40 calories for an entire bag helps curb the pasta cravings, especially after some holiday weight gain! I always am sure to rinse well, dry and par boil and dry again before eating.

So many of my favorites are already listed above. One thing I didn't see anyone mention in their bruschetta. I'm not big on eating tomatoes, but the bruschetta is amazing. I love using it as a sauce on the whole wheat pizza crust and just adding some cheese. Yum!

Unfortunately I'm stuck shopping in the Union Square NYC store, which is organized chaos practically from open to close every day. Due to the mayhem I only make a once a month trip. The bruschetta is often sold out.

I like singles on burgers, but Corner Bistro is just plain good no matter how much of a cheese snob one might be!
