Best Brunch Spots in NYC

Brunch is my religion of choice on Sundays in New York City. It’s one of those things that is such a part of the culture of this city, that I tend to miss and want to replicate when traveling elsewhere. As New Yorkers we love to show off our brunch spots to frien[...]

Best Cozy Spots for Cocktails in NYC

The chill in the air might be enough to encourage anyone to stay home and cozy up on the couch, drink in hand. But if you would rather enjoy your drinks and cushy warmth in the company of friends, finding the perfect place is key. Lucky for us, New York City has a[...]

An Evening of Chocolates, Spirits, & Cheese at Fairway Market Café and Steakhouse

Most New Yorkers have a Fairway Market story. Ours is venturing into the Fairway Market on Broadway in the Upper West side on any and every occasion we were hosting a holiday or celebratory meal of some kind, in search of unique, hard to find products and then cab[...]

The Courage to Travel: How to Make It Your Own

The media dog has found a new bone. This time it is the topic of women traveling solo, and why we shouldn't, using as the example the tragic death of 33-year-old solo female traveler, Sarai Sierra, an American, in Turkey. I won't start another post talking about w[...]

An Afternoon at the Morris Museum in Morristown, NJ

What is so great about NJ, I am finding, is that like NYC, it has a lot of different neighborhoods, each with its own personality. Traveling into a different neighborhood can make for a nice list of varied experiences and opportunities to explore. This weekend,[...]

“Who’s with the kids?”

The email came one lazy afternoon, distracting me from an article I had been trying to wrap my head around for hours. It was an invitation, to somewhere beautiful, warm, and overseas and though the deadline to respond was a week away, I responded immediately withou[...]

That thing that travel does

"I want to go to Finland and Japan, mommy." This is what my 7-year-old shared with me today, as easily as saying he wants to go to the park. His obsession with both countries has everything to do with three things: his favorite video games (Angry Birds/Finland an[...]

ONE UN New York: A NYC Experience with Views

When visitors ask me about where to stay in New York City, they almost always want to stay near Times Square. "We want to be in the center of it all". That sounds fun, until you get here. Then you realize that being in the thick of it can actually be a bit more tha[...]

Making 2013 The Year of Happy

Here we are, the end of another year. For most of us it's a moment of reflection and an opportunity to start over or do-over those things that maybe didn't meet our expectations. Resolutions and promises fill us with hope for something better. My only resolution f[...]

The Anniversary of Two Friends and Good Times

On Dec. 30, 2003, I married one of the funniest, sweetest guys I know. I still can't believe it really. Especially considering that when I met him I wasn't really interested in a boyfriend, let alone a husband. I mean, I yelled at the guy the first second I saw[...]

Today’s morning was fueled by one of our fave sp Today’s morning was fueled by one of our fave spots in Geneva, NY - @monacoscoffee. We found this spot a few years ago, before we moved to the area full time while at a rental nearby and immediately fell in love with its community and cozy vibe, and delicious coffee. 

It’s even cuter than when we first visited while all the reasons we love it remain. Always worth a stop when in Geneva.
