Founding Farmers
You know how disappointed I was with the first restaurant that I ate at in DC. Luckily, eating at Founding Farmers was like night and day! This restaurant is absolutely FABULOUS! […]
Spring in DC
Spring was in the air when I arrived in Washington, DC! I was in town to lobby congress (yes, it was just like House of Cards!) but I was quickly distracted […]
Uva
My friend Ann just moved to the Upper East Side, so there was no better way to welcome her to the neighborhood than with a girls’ dinner at Uva. Uva […]
The Poconos
Earlier this month, Anton and I escaped the city for the fresh air of the Pocono Mountains. But instead of spending the weekend outdoors, we ended up spending most of it inside […]
Beach Blanket Babylon
While I was staying in London, my company arranged a flat for me in Shoreditch. For those of you not familiar with Shoreditch, it’s basically the Brooklyn of London. Some label it […]
Top Dog
While I was living in London, I embraced all things British, and enjoyed every new experience that came my way. But there were times, on occasion, when I missed America, particularly […]
Darwin Brasserie at the Sky Garden
London architecture and New York City architecture are different for many reasons. For example, our oldest buildings are brand new by London standards. Also, when a new structure is built in […]
Sketch
You just can’t visit London without having afternoon tea. The Queen won’t allow it. So one afternoon the Queen and I (ok… just me…) headed to Sketch in Mayfair for its […]
The Folly
I was recently in London on business, and so I spent a lot of time in “The City” which is what locals call the City of London. It’s a bit confusing, […]
Bob Bob Ricard
I absolutely love living in New York, but London will always, always have my heart. I lived there off and on throughout my life, and truly came into my own while […]
Petrossian
It doesn’t get more posh than a caviar dinner in Manhattan. And it doesn’t get more delicious than caviar from Petrossian. Combine the two (and Anton as your plus one!), and you’re in […]
Sac-a-Lait
After a whirlwind week celebrating Mardi Gras, our last night in New Orleans couldn’t have been better, or more relaxing. We ate at Sac-a-Lait, a new restaurant housed in an […]
Lüke
You can’t visit New Orleans without strolling around Jackson Square. It’s beautiful, and is surrounded by street performers, palm readers, artists, musicians and hot dog stands (my favorite!). The focal point […]
Kellari
I have a new favorite seafood spot! Kellari Taverna is a fabulous restaurant that serves fresh, traditional Greek food right here in midtown. The restaurant is bright and airy, with wood-beamed […]
Black Tap Burgers & Shakes
Everyone in New York is talking about Black Tap Burgers & Beer, but not for the reason you think! Yes it’s a burger joint, but lately the instagram-worthy shakes have been […]
Lawry’s Prime Rib
Whenever I go home to Chicago for Christmas, I always insist that my family schedules one thing: dinner at Lawry’s. Lawry’s is known around the world for its delicious prime rib. My stomach […]
