Lydia and I made a triumphant return to NYC at the end of April, and this time we had a special guest – Lyd’s 13 year old son Ethan! We were excited to show him all our New York faves, and I was excited to eat like a teenage boy for the weekend. We ended......
The second stop on my little tour of the Pacific Northwest was, of course, Seattle. While I’ve always wanted to visit the PNW (numerous obsessions listed here), the catalyst for this trip was actually Alison Roman‘s Cookbook Tour for her new baking book, Sweet Enough. Tangent alert: after my friend Dafna got to not only......
I’ve been pretty obsessed with the Pacific Northwest my whole life, due to numerous pop culture influences while growing up in the ’90s (see: Twin Peaks, Nirvana, and the Sonics NBA Finals run in 1996, among others) and have always wanted to visit. I had some vacation days to use up at the end of......
It’s been a hot minute since I wrote a travel post here on the old blog! The last one was for Danielle’s and my trip to Palm Springs just as the world was shutting down in March 2020. Two and a half years later I flew to Edmonton so we could reunite, spend some quality......
So the world has totally turned upside down since the last time I wrote. This blog will continue to be my happy place as we navigate through these crazy times, so I don’t want to dwell on anything negative here, except to mention the following. Danielle and I had this trip booked for months, and......
In some ways, it feels like just yesterday that Lydia and I were frolicking through Manhattan at Christmastime. It’s actually been five years though, which means it was time for us to go back! Based on recommendations from my friend Nicole, a running list on my Notes app, and inspiration from Deb‘s Instagram stories, these......
It’s been a few years since my last trip to Vegas, and I was super excited to go back for a few days this month for my birthday! Restaurants on the strip turn over so frequently, so there’s always lots of new places to check out. Here’s a recap of all the outstanding eats from......
When it was time to plan the foodie agenda for our trip to New Orleans, there were only two things I knew we had to have: beignets and po’boys. Everything else I learned from the New Orleans section on Joy’s blog, Bon Appetit’s city guide, and some additional googling. Here’s the best of what we ate......
This past July, I confirmed something I’ve suspected was true for a long time: Chicago is the perfect place for a long weekend trip. I’ve wanted to go forever, especially since I was supposed to attend a conference there a few years ago (but ended up not going), and had to hear my entire office......
This post is a long time coming, but I’m excited to finally be writing about my trip to London last November! It was my first time travelling to Europe, and I was equal parts excited and nervous leading up to the trip. I went with my friend Danielle, who is an accomplished world traveler and......
