SPRING IS TOO GORGEOUS-can’t waste this time!

April 8, 2012/in Date Ideas, NYC /by CMB

HAPPY EASTER! What a wonderful weekend it was with gorgeous weather. Even though Easter weekend is coming to an end here are some things you can do this upcoming week.

PICTURE PERFECT

When the spring breeze gently blows, cherry blossom petals flutter and makes a magical scenery that makes you wonder if it’s lightly snowing on a spring day. One of the beauties of spring is definitely the amazing site cherry blossom trees create. Brooklyn Botanic Garden is the place to go to enjoy the spring breeze and walk through the shower of pink petals falling gently from the trees. Spring is here but will be gone soon, so don’t miss this year’s cherry blossom beauty.

WHERE: Brooklyn Botanic Garden (1000 Washington Ave.)

WHEN: Open until April 29 but sooner the better before the petals all fall off!

If you’ve been to and loved, yet want a change of scenery from Eleven Madison, The NoMad may be perfect for you. It’s runned by Chef Daniel Humm and Will Guidara…the guys who run Eleven Madison so you know what to expect. The NoMad has 5 separate, elegant rooms and features dishes of rabbit spaetzie, suckling pig and chicken-for-two with black truffles and foie gras (im already hungry just by listing these) .. Warning though. You’re bill’s not going to be too light so be ready for it!

WHERE: The NoMad (1170 Broadway, near 28th Street)

Calling Back-Phobia

March 6, 2012/in CMB Says, Date Stats /by CMB

Here is what I saw at Cindy Sherman’s Exhibit at MoMA over the weekend…It hit me hard.
cindy sherman
The woman who is sadly gazing at the phone is actually Cindy Sherman herself, which made this piece more powerful and I think easier for the audience to relate to. She used herself as a medium in connecting with the audience to share her vision and feelings.
Looking at this photograph  I felt the sadness, disappointment and pure ache she was feeling as she waited for her man to call.
Having a moment in MoMA, I absolutely felt and understood this woman.
How many times have you wondered- “why is he not calling back?”
Does falling asleep with your cellphone next to your pillow so you won’t miss a call, and waking up to nothing sound all too familiar to you?
This could happen after a night out at the bar, after a first date or even after many dates- but the ‘no call back’ happens way too frequently.
Christian Carter laid it down for us on Shape.com why guys don’t call back, and the reasons are quite obvious but spot on. Here are the reasons Carter gives for why men don’t call back:
1. They have trouble being honest and being vulnerable
2. If they are looking for a fling rather than something serious
3. They were just being polite earlier
4. They lost interest in you
5. They lost your number- or simply forgot to call
These scenarios arise mostly after couple of casual dates when everything about the relationship is up in the air. The question and problem here are how the women deal with these scenarios- after the guy doesn’t call for awhile. The idealistic way to put an end to this while still being sane is for the woman to keep her cool and to move on. However generally that’s not case.  Rather than saying, “Forget it!” she will probably be vent over a tub of ice cream or continue to hold on to the phone while waiting for his call.
It made me wonder why women still feel like men leave them in the dark when these reasons are quite self explanatory. I truly believe its the fear of rejection that causes drama when the man doesn’t call back. All of the hidden insecurities creep up and hurts the woman’s ego and make her question, “What did I do wrong?” when really he didn’t call because of reason #1, 2, or 5- reasons she had no control over.
Women have to understand how men’s minds work and not take simple gestures too seriously. If he doesn’t call back there’s nothing to read into. He is not interested in you up to the point you would like him to. So either give him the time and space for him to grow to like you, or move on.
The universal question is though, do men suffer as much as women do when they don’t get a call they are expecting? I’ve seen men be upset for couple of days if his date falls through, but haven’t seen a man sulk over a tub of ice cream while staring at the phone hoping for it to light up.
Are men simply insensitive and more ready to go back into the dating scene immediately? Or do women get emotionally invested too soon?

Cindy Sherman Exhibit @ MoMA

CINDY SHERMAN EXHIBIT

Exhibit runs until June 11, 2012.
I love NYC for all the museums people can stop by to immerse themselves into cultural richness. One minute you’re running around town through the dirtiest streets and next thing you know, you’re walking into MoMA to be enlightened by all the great work at the exhibits. Or maybe you just went to go to the uber awesome MoMA store- either way MoMA is the place to go to for whatever reason.
I’ve only seen a couple of her work in the past and am excited myself to go to her exhibit at MoMA. She is not only the photographer, but she also puts herself into her work-literally. If you and your date both have interest in contemporary art and photography this should be your next stop.

Darren Bader Exhibit @ MoMA PS1
On view until May 14,2012
” Is Darren Bader is making good art, or is his show at P.s. 1 just a sappy, sentimental ploy to get you to love him? (Not that there’s all that much difference.) The exhibition includes a room containing three cats you can adopt, another where a woman is preparing salad, another where a live iguana is up for adoption (you can do it if you don’t live in New York City, where iguana-owning is unlawful), and another with two burritos on the windowsill and the opening blare of Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone” in an endless loop that leaves you on the edge of bursting into song. This is late-late-late post–Conceptual Relational Aesthetics. And it’s pretty darn fun, provocative, and satisfying. ” — Jerry Saltz <NYMag>
