The Economics of Gold-Digging

This is an old article but it still makes so much sense and it's great for laughs.
Here is an excerpt of the beginning and if you're interested in the answer then go to the reference link below :]

Supposedly, a woman posted the following personal ad on Craigslist:
What am I doing wrong?
Okay, I’m tired of beating around the bush. I’m a beautiful (spectacularly beautiful) 25-year-old girl. I’m articulate and classy. I’m not from New York. I’m looking to get married to a guy who makes at least [a] half a million a year. I know how that sounds, but keep in mind that a million a year is middle class in New York City, so I don’t think I’m overreaching at all.
Are there any guys who make 500K or more on this board? Any wives? Could you send me some tips? I dated a businessman who makes average around 200 – 250K. But that’s where I seem to hit a roadblock. 250,000K won’t get me to Central Park West. I know a woman in my yoga class who was married to an investment banker and lives in Tribeca, and she’s not as pretty as I am, nor is she a great genius. So what is she doing right? How do I get to her level?

Imperial Tea Court

My friend and I went here for the Gaiwan Tea presentation. 
The server basically tells you about the history of the teas and how to prepare them. 
We got to choose two teas to try out. 
Tip: if you seep green tea for too long, it becomes bitter.


Hand rolled tea leaves



















Bowl for our almond shells

Almonds!


 We then headed over to this cute little place to check out their baked goodies.


Macaroons! Looks like Vanilla is quite popular.

Tory Burch Reva Flats╭♡




Tory Burch is pretty true to size.
It does require some breaking in though :/
BUT worth the investment because they'll last :]
