December 12, 2015 Red Bowl

On a recent trip to North Carolina to visit my niece of her birthday, we did a lot of eating out. Not the kinds of places that I would necessarily go to, but then again, sometimes you are at the mercy of your host, you go where they like to eat. The first night we […]

December 5, 2015 Stowe Mountain Lodge

We love Stowe and since I was a kid, we had been going in the winter time – even though we don’t ski. And then, one day about 5 years ago, we decided to go in June. Vermont is like a whole different place! There is so much greenery and there are so many other […]

November 26, 2015 Magnolia Bakery

What trip to New York is complete without stop at Magnolia Bakery? We were staying in midtown (let’s not talk about it) and so we headed up to the Rockefeller Center location. Not quite as charming as the Bleeker Street location, but hey…let’s not get picky. Have you checked out their instagram account lately? I […]

November 25, 2015 Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory

Located at the pier, just under the Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory is in a prime location. The day was humid and frankly hot as hell. Of course after walking around at the Brooklyn Flea we were sweating and needed something cool, so we waited in the enormous line to get an ice cream. […]

November 19, 2015 Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit

Our second stop before heading out of town is Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit. I wish we had come here for breakfast yesterday because they had delicious sounding specials – they had a breakfast sandwich with crab meat that had my mouth watering while I was waiting in line. The small shop has the specials handwritten […]

November 17, 2015 Hominy Grill

On our last day in Charleston, we decided to have a real breakfast. We walked to the Hominy Grill from our hotel, which is a bit far… and the neighborhood goes a little down hill on the walk there – as in we definitely walked by a dead cat on the sidewalk. Like many of […]

November 16, 2015 Freddo

We decided to skip dessert at Cru and walk our meal off before getting dessert. We end up at Freddo on King Street. The chain opened it’s first shop in Argentina in 1969, and it is now the leader in “helado” premium Argentine gelato. Check out the helado process here. The shop is tiny, with […]

November 10, 2015 Beard Cat’s Sweet Shop

After dinner upstairs at The Obstinate Daughter, we headed downstairs to Beard Cat’s Sweet Shop for dessert. The gelateria serves coffee and acts as a retail space for the restaurant. It’s hard to choose from all the delicious flavors and to make things harder, they also have gelato sandwiches and popsicles!! Beard Cat’s proudly served […]

November 5, 2015 Charleston, SC

I had been wanting to go to Charleston, SC for some time now, the food scene there is amazing. Yup, that’s how I pick my vacations, where do I want to eat? Our JetBlue flight got us there direct in under 3 hours. The downtown historic district is about a 20 minute ride from the […]

November 3, 2015 The Cottage at Stowe Mountain Golf Course

The Cottage is at Stowe Mountain Lodge’s private golf club and is open to members and guests of the hotel. Make sure that you wear proper club attire, collared shirts for men are a must. That being said, you couldn’t ask for a better view of the mountain while you eat lunch. We are the […]
