Exploring Inwood Hill Park, a piece of Old New York

Yes, it's cold and it's tempting to stay home and warm. However, when you have kids bouncing off the walls and a desire to stretch those legs yourself, it's necessary to bundle up and head outside. We were eager to go for a walk, but didn't want to venture to far t[...]

New Victory Workshops: Where kids bring art to life

I often praise the New Victory Theater on my site. I am not employed by them, or under contract with them at any capacity. However, I do like to give them a lot of mention because they are among few great non-profit organizations in the city dedicated not only to t[...]

The fun of Eataly

When I heard the news of Eataly's opening (located at 200 Fifth Avenue), I decided to wait out the excitement of the crowds that I knew would surely follow. And follow it did, with people waiting on long lines for the many authentic Italian goods, as well as a chan[...]

Family Adventures at Keystone Resort, CO

My crew and I went on an adventure to Colorado this weekend. We were making our way from Denver airport to Keystone, CO to stay at the Keystone Resort. The ride was estimated to be about an hour and a half long. But a sudden blizzard had covered the major interstat[...]

Winter’s Eve at Lincoln Square

Every year in late November, Lincoln Center celebrates Winter's Eve at Lincoln Square. Celebrities and performers come out in numbers to witness the lighting of the Christmas Tree. This is one of my favorite areas of NYC, and seeing it lit up with holiday lights ju[...]

Holiday Windows in New York City, 2010

When I didn't live in New York City, for one reason or another, I always missed being home for the holidays and the one thing I missed the most about not being home for the holidays was being able to enjoy the amazing window displays. Some of the most famous store[...]

Ground Zero & Statue of Liberty Tour with Kids

I always say that even if you live in or visit New York City, it never hurts, or rather it further compliments your experiences when you play tourist every once in a while. Even the most hardcore New Yorker doesn't know everything about everything that there is to[...]

The Market Place in Asheville, NC

During my last trip to Asheville, NC, I made it a point to check out at least of few favorite local eateries since I missed out on the experience before. I was delighted that my first experience would be The Market Place, headed by Chef /Owner William Dissen. The[...]

A NYC Moment: The best of nothing much in Riverside Park

A lot of what I love about living in New York City is that you don't ever really have to plan anything to end up doing something truly great. Such was the case for us one recent Sunday. The crew and I (minus one pre-teen at the time) headed over to Riverside Park w[...]

As a Brooklyn girl, born and raised, I never could As a Brooklyn girl, born and raised, I never could’ve imagined a reason to stray too far from my beloved city…and then, I found the Finger Lakes. Never say never. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Bonus: Brooklyn feels like a world away from all this peace and beauty, but it’s only a 4 hour drive. 🫶🏾

During my recent jaunt to @visittheberkshires I im During my recent jaunt to @visittheberkshires I immersed myself in @massmoca bliss. With 250,000 square feet of gallery space, it’s easy to understand how with three visits thus far,  I still haven’t seen all there is to see. 

Strolling the interconnected buildings and walkways leads you into a new experience, and with each ticket allowing for two consecutive day visits, you are encouraged to take your time. 

Another thing to note is that in between my visits (separated by a month’s time) I got to see new installations that weren’t there before, as many of the exhibits are ever-evolving. 

I have yet to visit during warmer temps, when the outdoor spaces are activated with more art and events, so am definitely excited to return. It would also be cool to catch a live performance there! 

Bonus: the coffee shop adjacent to the museum - @tunnelcitycoffee - serves up some good sips, and I highly recommend reservations to @casitaberkshires, the Mexican restaurant also on campus.

This winter promises to be a snowy one and honestl This winter promises to be a snowy one and honestly, I couldn’t be more excited. Experiencing true four seasons is one of the things I love about living here because everything changes each time. The energy is more serene and mellow. The world is so chaotic and sad in many ways these days, it’s really healing to be surrounded by the quiet and stillness of nature on a snow day in the Finger Lakes.

Almost 6 months ago, and after a few months of hos Almost 6 months ago, and after a few months of hosting just family and friends at home, I launched to the public a “little something” I felt was really bringing me joy and really made others happy too…a reason to come together. 

I wanted something that allowed for more in-person connections in a way that I loved to do so the most…by serving something yummy to strangers and friends alike. Café Cómodo has become more than I expected, faster than I imagined, and some of the hardest work I’ve done to date. But I love it. 

And now, we’ve secured a long term partnership with @sulfurbooks, in Clifton Springs, NY. 

Started January 10, 2026 and every second Saturday of the month till December 2026 (with a few extra events sprinkled in between), we will be serving a community of growing fans in a community bookstore we all adore. 

I look forward to continued growth, more meaningful partnerships, and making people happy, one cafecito at a time. ☕️

Thank you to everyone who has been supportive of my little café dreams from day 1. Look what you helped make possible!! 

Thank you to Sarah and team for this opportunity and to the Clifton Springs community for the warm welcome. 🫶🏾

May your bellies be happy and your hearts full. ❤️

Growing up in New York City with easy access to it Growing up in New York City with easy access to its holiday sceneries it was difficult to imagine that the holidays anywhere else could feel as special. Then later, my travels exposed me to some pretty spectacular holidays around the world that I would add as absolute musts. And now, living in rural New York, I have to say there is also something very sweet about small town holidays. 

For one, the little parades that bring so many people - many of whom you get to know personally when living in a small town - are really endearing. And also, the generic commercialism doesn’t overpower the holidays because there are so many quaint small businesses to support and shop in. 

And so it very much gives that Hallmark feel that so many people from the larger cities crave, especially this time of year. And while that special feeling might be lost on some, for me, it still is very much palpable and one of my favorite things about living in the Finger Lakes.
