The Product/Service:

Turning Art is a  five-month-old online art subscription service run by a so-called “dynamic coalition of art-loving geeks” in Cambridge, Mass. 

The Product:

While I have fairly big, tall cabinets, they only have a single dividing shelf. Because of this I have to stack my pots on top of each other and most of the time I do so haphazardly because they are vastly different shapes and sizes and don’t always fit into each other perfectly. (Also, I am messy.)

The Product:

I love to cook and do it often even though I lack adequate counter space, having created a makeshift one by putting a butcher’s block on top of my washing machine. I have even taken a five-day, 25-hour cooking course to learn all the basic techniques in cooking as well as several ethnic cooking classes. 

But the more I know about how to cook, the less I seem to know about what to cook, as far as what constitutes “healthy eating” beyond elementary-school basics like fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

WNYW/Fox 5 entertainment reporter Julie “Truly Julie” Chang moved to Manhattan six years ago for a position at WPIX-TV as its morning news reporter and found not only a career on the news, but also her “soulmate”--New York City. The Emmy-nominated correspondent Chang tells BrickUnderground how she found her rental without a broker, and dishes about her favorite Soho takeout spots, her scariest New York-living experience, and her bed bug anxiety.

What year did you move to Manhattan and what was your first apartment like? How did you find it?

A year ago, I signed up for Time Warner Cable’s “Triple Play” package: High-speed internet, cable TV and long distance phone service, $99.95 a month “pricelocked”  (so I thought) for 3 years.  (Never mind that it isn’t really just $99.95 because there's the ever-present blah-blah tax tacked on along with DVR and HBO fees. But I digress.)

Then last month, I noticed that my monthly bill had gone up to $119.95.
