End of summer recap: A photo essay

Happy almost Labor Day! Today marks the unofficial last weekend of summer, how sad! Although I’m bummed that summer is on its way out, looking back, it was one of my best regarding travel.  I was able to travel domestically and internationally, and now with a move to Madrid on the horizon,...

In case you missed it…

Hi friends! I know I have been a bad little blogger lately but please know that I haven’t been a bad little writer!  I’ve been freelancing a lot, so I want to make sure you’ve seen a few of my latest stories.  Hopefully this will help to inspire you to plan...

Levain Bakery

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...

Food Friday: Ess-a-bagel

When it comes to breakfast, New York City is the city of bagels.  New York prides itself on the bagel – the perfect, filling breakfast for on-the-go New Yorkers.  I personally stopped eating bagels once I read that calorie wise, one bagel is equal to five slices of bread (yikes!),...

My Favorite Cities for Romance

Paris? Nope. Florence? Oh, please. Although I can be a tad bit cynical about romantic travel, the fact is there are some cities in America that upon first visit you can’t help but imagine yourself walking hand in hand with the one you love.  As Valentine’s Day is approaching and is on a...

Sweetest Goodbye

Never forget

For the past few weeks I’ve been feeling somewhat “blah” towards New York.  I’m sure it has to do with the fact that the sun now sets at around 4:30pm and that a day with a high of 45 degrees is considered “warm”.  Whatever the reason, lately I’ve just...

The most wonderful time of the year…

Is it seriously December?  I know we probably say this every year but WHERE did 2012 go? Here we are in the last month of the year (or last month of our lives if you believe in that whole Mayan calendar/end of the world thing) and once again I feel like it crept...
