Consumers tend to make straightforward New Year resolutions: Spend less, save more and pay down debt. This year, it appears retailers want to change just one thing...their bottom line.

Cut the Cougar Crap

Liz Tuccillo
Writer, Sex and the City

Through the ages, women have never had a lack of complaints about the inequalities between men and women. Particularly when it comes to romance, dating and age, there's always been a lot to complain about. I wish I could say that I am not about to contribute to that litany of gripes, but oh no, I'm about to jump right in. So, this whole "Cougar" thing.

Big Apple Canines Kick Cancer To The Curb

1 May 2009

Cancer is something I think we have all become a bit too familiar with. Whether it be a close friend, coworker, family member or a beloved pet it’s safe to say we all would love to see the day that we can officially kick that cancer to the curb, once and for all! The leader of fighting the fight, the America Cancer Society (ACS), holds several fundraisers throughout the year that raise awareness and money to further their extensive research. If you’re looking to get involved but don’t know where to begin, this is the perfect opportunity for you and your pooch to give back to this great big juicy red apple that we all love so much and support the fight against cancer.

This Sunday, May 3rd, at 9:00 a.m. the ACS will be hosting the 18th annual Dogswalk at Riverside park on 107th and Riverside Drive. Here you and your philanthropy loving pooches can put your best paw forward as you walk to help raise awareness and most importantly funds. Now, if there is one thing I know my fellow New Yorkers are known for its fundraising…and I mean fundraising in a huge way. Go big or go home right? The walk-a-thon is just $35.00 to register you and your dog and is less than a mile (approximately equal the distance from Saks to Bergdorfs, roundtrip), but your participation and support will last well beyond the short distance walked.

Insider Tip: The first 700 registered participants receive a “Doggy Bag” valued over $50.00 in goodies!
