For most urbanites and even for the suburbanites who travel in city circles, “the Strip” refers to the bustling Elmwood Village. Tree-lined streets, quaint retail shops, fabulous food, vibrant bars, and eclectic characters define what most Western New Yorker’s think of as the Strip.

As cars get smaller for economical reasons (gas mileage, sticker price, ecologically fueled guilty consciences), the driving public looks for ways to cram the same amount of stuff into a smaller vehicle than they’ve become accustomed to. As more car owners discover that, yes, they’d rather be a car owner than an SUV owner, they’re discovering, once again, the joy of—gasp!—station wagon ownership.

New York scent artist Christopher Brosius had made his name with fragrances recalling childhood (such as Clean Baby Butt, Green Bean and Baseball Glove), but felt it was time, according to an April report in New York magazine, to approach the next frontier—to make a perfume so exclusive that no one could smell it.

So it’s summer and my boyfriend and I have all sorts of social commitments. That’s fine until we get double booked. This is happening all the time, especially on the weekends. I would really like to enjoy this summer, and I am getting really tired of all the running around, let alone multiple events on some days. Any suggestions on how to clear our calendar?
