ZooLights at Lincoln Park Zoo
While spending the weekend before Christmas in the heart of downtown Chicago, Greg, my parents and I made sure to take in all of the beautiful holiday decorations that the […]
La Tour d’Argent
Greg and I had many fabulous meals while we were in Paris. Some were simple picnics in a garden, and others were elaborate courses in spectacular settings. Our dinner at […]
Dinner Cruise on the Seine
Remember that earlier trip to Paris I told you about, when I was a student and couldn’t afford to do anything fun? During that visit I would sit along the […]
Bachelorette Party at the Long Island Vineyards
Ann, one of my favorite NYC friends, is getting married […]
Il Mulino
Since Lauren couldn’t make my epic sailing birthday celebration, she invited me to a celebratory dinner instead. Wine and pasta at a restaurant I’ve been wanting to try for ages? […]
Skiing in Vermont
Greg loves skiing, so much so that he has a house in Killington, Vermont just so he can go up and ski whenever he wants. We’ve driven there a lot […]
New Year’s in Naples
After spending the morning of New Year’s Eve at Wakehurst in England, Greg and I flew to Naples, Italy to ring in the new year. Naples is known for its […]
SSMAC Oktoberfest

Pennsylvania Wine Tour
Some days you just need to get out of the city, and that feeling is especially strong in the summer. So Nicole and I decided it was the perfect time […]
Mela East
Sara hosted Marilyn and me in Toronto this past May, so we figured it was only fair to return the favor and invite Sara out to New York City! On her […]
Biltmore Estate
This summer, my dad’s side of the family had a reunion in North Carolina. I know most people cringe when they hear the phrase “family reunion,” but I love our […]
Lake Balaton
One morning during my ReConnect Hungary trip, we woke up bright and early and drove to Lake Balaton, Hungary’s (and Central Europe’s) largest lake with a gorgeous Mediterranean landscape. Everywhere […]
Budapest Bars & Ruin Pubs
It goes without saying that Budapest’s nightlife is fabulous (there’s a reason why thousands of bachelor parties head to the city every year)! But before I talk about where to go out, […]
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 […]
Strawberry Raspberry Rosé Sangria
It was such a beautiful day on Sunday, wasn’t it?! Kendall and I took full advantage of the weather by celebrating our first (hopefully weekly!) Sangria Sunday. I made delicious […]
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 […]
