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 next month. As her friends, we have a very important job: sending her off to married life in style! On […]
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 […]

Biltmore Estate

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 […]
