September 29th through October 6th


It's me again! If you're back you must be looking for something to do, and I'm happy to help you out. Every weekend until November 24th, be sure to stop in Brooklyn and take a look at the Brooklyn Flea Market! Admission is free of course - and their hours are from 10 AM to 5 PM. On Saturdays they are located at Fort Greene Flea on Lafayette Ave., and on Sundays they switch over to the Williamsburg waterfront. For more information on vendors and how to get there, visit their website

Don't worry; I'm not finished yet. Is everyone familiar with the "Long Island Medium"? On Tuesday, October 1st, Theresa Caputo will be signing copies of her new book “There’s More to Life Than This” at the Barnes and Noble on 33 East 17th Street at 12:15 PM. If you’re interested in stopping by, maybe she’ll even do a spiritual reading for you! 

Okay so, has anyone heard of the up-and-coming band called Boyce Avenue? Boyce Avenue not only writes their own music, but also does amazing covers of already popular songs. Long story short, they have a concert Thursday, October 3rd in Webster Hall located on 125 E 11th Street. Tickets are going quickly - so if you're thinking of going, get on a tickets site immediately! Prices are in the mid-100s. If you aren't familiar with them, please check out their YouTube website above to see if you're interested! 

If you’re looking for a little more weekend fun to escape the school week, have no fear. Who doesn’t love fall, right? Next Saturday, October 5th until Sunday the 6th, Queens County Farm Museum is having a “Kickoff to Fall” with free admission, fresh cider, and hayrides! Who can resist? It’s located in Floral Park at 73-50 Little Neck Pkwy. For more information visit their website above! That’s all I’ve got this week, so until next time - enjoy!

Welcome!

Hello, everyone! My name is Charlotte, and you've successfully reached the best blog on the internet. More about that later; first, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I was born and raised upstate in Buffalo (don't listen to what people say, it's not that cold!), and wouldn't have wanted it any other way. I have a 12-year-old sister who grinds my gears more often than not, but what can ya do besides learn to embrace it. My mom works for a college back home called D'Youville College, which is why I can afford to go to this beautiful school, and my dad works in the Erie County Clerk's office (basically, he just handles big checks). I've gone from working 5 days a week every week at a job I love, where I met my current boyfriend, to only working on long breaks when I return home. I graduated from an all-girls catholic high school- which were no doubt the best four years of my life that I wouldn't trade for the world! I am majoring in Photojournalism, because I absolutely love taking pictures and fooling around with my camera. I love live music, and had the opportunity to attend my favorite concerts over the summer such as the Goo Goo Dolls (who happen to be Buffalo natives..just saying), John Mayer, and my inner tween heartthrobs One Direction. This topic brings me to what I'd like to blog about! If you're into live music and free-admission events as much as I am, then we're going to get along great. Every weekend, I'm going to be giving an update on what's going on for the upcoming week, such as concerts around the city, flea markets and festivals, along with times and admission fees (if there are any). Stay tuned- I hope you enjoy! :)
