An Immersive Theatre Experience in NYC — Are you curious?

This is a detailed recap and review of my experience at CURIOUSITIES: AN IMMERSIVE THEATRE EXPERIENCE.

Last Thursday I got my hands on a couple of tickets to “Curiousities” (Thanks Show Score!), an immersive theatre experience by Deaths Head Theatrical. The show is set in the 1930s at a carnival sideshow. The intimate show felt like a small production as it’s running for a couple of weeks in December and invites up to 75 guests per show only.

I’ve never been to an immersive theatre experience before, and it feels like it is all the rage right now *coughSleepNoMorecough*, so I was very excited to take part. I asked a colleague to come along (team bonding, perhaps?) and set my expectations very low…

Talent Complex’s ‘The Starry Night’ ft. AJ

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of attending a gig by Columbia University’s band ‘Talent Complex’ (개성공단) that our very own U-KISS’s AJ is a part of. This was AJ’s second time performing with the band, since the gig from December 2015 was cancelled at the last minute.

Cup & Cup + Take31

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

I’m always down for good Korean food, and I found exactly that at quirky space in NYC, 31st between 5th and Mad. Ave. By day, it’s a quiet little cafe called Cup & Cup that serves cute lattes with fusion Korean food. By night, it transform into the Korean gastropub Take31 with soju & rice wine cocktails and the extremely satisfying Korean pub food. YUM.

If you’re a regular girl that endures that one week of crimson hell. trust me when I say these are truly magical panties.

Tata 2015!

Believe me when I say that 2015 was the year for change. It’s different for everyone but I can say this year felt long and short at the same time. How is this possible?

Baita Italian Alps Pop-Up Restaurant in NYC

I dropped by ‘Baita‘ at La Birreria, a fancy Italian alps pop-up restaurant located above Eataly (at the Flat Iron District). It’s said to be one of the best Christmas-themed pop-ups for NYC. I went with some workmates and we had to walk through Eataly to get a table up on the 14th floor. I highly recommend making a book beforehand — they take reservations through OpenTable and by phone.

Soon Beauty Lab in NYC

Today I paid a visit to Soon Beauty Lab in Chelsea to treat myself a (hair) pampering day. It’s been a tough week and I received some bad news recently, so this was a much needed refresh. Back in Sydney, I get my hair done by my trusty local Korean hairdresser of eight years and, most of the time, my mother colours my roots. Naturally I was anxious as hell to find an affordable new hair “guardian” in NYC. I was recommended this place by a lovely lady, who had awesome pastel pink hair, from my Benefit Brow Bar.

A pup in NYC

NYC has as many pups as it does people. Since moving to NYC, I’ve seen the cutest and sweetest dogs running around town. It also doesn’t help that Brad and I live in a dog-friendly apartment complex. I miss Thor (pictured above is baby Thor!) dearly and I’ve started seriously consider fostering dogs. I had thought about being the forever home for a dog, but NYC is not my forever home. I don’t want to put any pup through the ordeal of moving from country to country. Not to mention the awfully strict laws in Australia when bringing a pup into the country.

A little trip to Columbia University

I took a little trip up to Columbia University tonight for Talent Complex’s (the band AJ is a part of) concert, which was unfortunately cancelled due to venue issues. They promised a concert was coming early next year though. I was still very stoked to see AJ again after three years and had a great chat with him, though I miss him on stage. He seems to be chillin’ and groovin’ to uni life. I would do a full recount of our interactions but he requested otherwise.

First Christmas in NYC

2015 has been one hell of a year.  Stacey & James’s wedding, my graduation and moving to New York — just to list a few things off the top of my head. I can’t believe that the end is already approaching, but I’m gearing up for Christmas.
