With the recent spring weather we’ve been enjoying in New York, I just had to escape the concrete jungle for some fresh air, rich greenery and beautiful flowers. I had never been to the NY Botanical Garden, and so I hopped on Metro-North and within 20 minutes I was there. As soon as I arrived, […]
In a world where globalization is the new norm, people around the world expect to voraciously consume entertainment with only a click of a button. Overlapping several frontiers, somewhere between the world of dance, music and theatre and the realm of the digitally interactive experience, lies VirtualArtsTV – the first company dedicated to live-streaming the performing arts […]
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure to attend the wedding anniversary of my dear friends: artist Daniela Kamiliotis and her loving husband, Thanos, in their lovely weekend home in Bethel, Connecticut. It was one of the most enjoyable outdoor parties I had been, surrounded by peaceful nature, a beautiful lake and a group […]
I’m not quite sure how many times I’ve attended the Romanian Film Festival in New York City. During the course of several years, it has become a tradition to round up a large group of friends, wanting to celebrate the recently groundbreaking Romanian cinema.

Entering the world of an artist is like embarking into a fantasy world, lacking the mundane realities of day-to-day. It whisks you away, and for a moment there, you reach an epiphany. Daniela Kamiliotis is no stranger to the sensibilities and intricacies of the artistic realm. Having befriended the paint brush ever since she was five years old, she […]
Battery Park is one of my favorite places in New York to go for a walk. Although close to the new World Trade Center and Wall St, it bears little resemblance to the hustle and bustle of the career-driven financiers-filled streets. Once crossing the bridge into Battery Park, you are in a peaceful residential neighborhood, […]
This weekend I went to see Cirque du Soleil at the Radio City Hall, a show I’ve been wanting to see for a very long time. My parents had seen it in Europe, so I was curious to see it. According to the show’s creators, Zarkana is an acrobatic rock opera that blends circus arts with the […]
