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 […]
Fireside Dining
After two days of skiing, my ski trip ended how it began, with one of the most memorable dining experiences of my life. We ate at Fireside Dining, which is now […]
Deer Valley
After spending the morning skiing at Solitude Mountain Resort, my trip continued at Deer Valley, arguably Park City’s most famous (and best!) ski resort. It’s known for its attention to detail, superior […]
Solitude Mountain Resort
You know how much I loved Park City when I visited this summer, so you can imagine how excited I was to return for its most famous activity: skiing! I landed […]
Afternoon Tea at the St. Regis
I started a new tradition last weekend! I wanted to celebrate the holidays with my girlfriends before we all went home for Christmas, so I hosted a festive afternoon tea […]
Adrift
You can’t visit Seattle and not order piles of seafood (never mind that we just had Thanksgiving dinner a few nights before!). So on the last night of our trip, […]
Gino’s East vs. Lou Malnati’s
You can’t visit Chicago and not have deep dish pizza. It’s practically a law. So when I was there celebrating my grandma’s birthday, my family and I made sure to […]
Serendipity 3
While my friend Ben was in town, we wanted to eat somewhere very “New York.” So we headed to Serendipity 3, the famous ice cream shop featured in the aptly-named […]
