City girl. Traveling soul. Always hungry.
The next day we decided to do some lighthouse hopping on our way down to Portsmouth, NH. Katie found a few spots along our route that looked easy to get to, but we found out quickly that the presence of a lighthouse does not always mean the presence of a parking lot. Our first directions... Continue Reading →
We woke up the next morning in a (surprisingly nice) Motel 6 in Framingham, MA, which I had never heard of before. We turned in around 10:30pm when night driving became too exhausting. We were bound for Portland, but made a stop in Salem, MA to check out some witch trial history. We were the... Continue Reading →
I’m a little late in the game to be posting this, but it’s been a hectic week (when isn’t it??). Last week, record breaking Winter Storm Jonas hit the east coast in a frigid fury. Katie and I had just finished booking a spontaneous long weekend trip to North Carolina 3 days before, thanks to... Continue Reading →
The next morning we started to see snow-covered mountains as soon as we hit the road. It gave the drive a completely new landscape that was nothing like my first trek through New Mexico years ago. We went north and then veered east on Route 60 just after La Joya, towards a ghost town/adobe ruin... Continue Reading →
The next morning, we woke up to our first morning frost. It was caked onto the hood of the car so deeply that my brother was able to carve his name in it. The family staying in the motel room next door haphazardly left their luggage piled uncovered in the back of their pickup truck... Continue Reading →
The next day, it was time to bid goodbye to beautiful Tucson and hit the road—final destination: somewhere-in-New-Mexico. In preparation for the trip, I fashioned a “guide” of 3 possible routes to Santa Fe that could be changed depending on weather conditions (or if we were feeling spontaneous). Since there were no blizzards on the... Continue Reading →
After having a few too many glasses of bubbly-ness on New Year’s Eve, we did the only logical thing we could think to do – hike in the desert. I only had 2 nights in Tucson on this trip so I wanted to see the mountainside up close as soon as I could. After powering... Continue Reading →
I am one of those strange beings who voluntarily orders tofu at restaurants even though I am not a vegetarian. My girlfriend jokes that I have a natural inclination towards healthy food and that she hates me for it. I chase her down the hallway, shoving sloshing cold-pressed green juices in her face with feverish... Continue Reading →
It’s felt like a long time since I posted a recipe. My day-to-day life has gone through some changes throughout the summer, and my cooking briefly transformed into a thought-free, just-get-the-food-onto-the-plate procedure. This was unfortunate, since the serenity of my “kitchen time” is one of my happiest places. Changes in my schedule have thrown me... Continue Reading →
Weekend brunch in NYC might as well be its own local holiday. People flock to brunch spots at all corners of the city from around 11am and until we can pour ourselves out of our mimosa glasses. New Yorkers love our booze, and that is probably the reason why the moment a suburb-style Denny’s debuted... Continue Reading →
