Tomorrow I was scheduled to head to Chicago with no plans in place whatsoever. As much as this blog may not indicate this little fact, I am not a spontaneous person. Anyone who knows me also knows that I like to plan everything as best I can, know what is happening at all...
Happy Food Friday blog family! Before we get into the delicious dining experience that is the Golden Pheasant Inn, I have to yet again apologize for my disappearance. I’ve been working nonstop and to be honest, falling asleep with my laptop on my chest and going slightly blind. Glamorous! Anyway, I’ve had...
Last week I visited the Corcoran Gallery of Art for the first time to view a new exhibit about the subculture of graffiti, rap, go-go and punk scene in D.C. during the 1980s and early 90s. Pump Me Up: D.C. Subculture of the 1980s showcases the birth of an underground...
Hello from New York! I came up to the city yesterday to spend a couple days here for a friend’s graduation and I had to make a stop at one of my favorite bakeries. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but I am a sweets freak. My sweet tooth...

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!! Today is also Throwback Thursday in the Twitterverse so I thought I’d highlight a place where I wish I was at this very moment. In 2010 I visited St. Thomas with my family and it was absolute paradise. We Americans are quite lucky that traveling...
Happy Lundi Gras ya’ll! At this moment, thousands of people are reveling in the awesome debauchery that is Mardi Gras in New Orleans. Tomorrow is Mardi Gras, also affectionately known as Fat Tuesday, but the parade season has been going on since January 19. As Fat Tuesday is the...
