Who doesn't love a nice cold cider? You've heard me say how much I love craft beer, but there's another drink that's high up on my list: cider. (Just so we're all on the same page, we're talking alcoholic drinks here. Otherwise coffee would take the cake!). If you like sipping on a refreshing cider like … Continue reading Cider Tasting at Angry Orchard
Happy Tuesday, everybody! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are currently having a nice start to the week. I ended up taking a break from the hustle and bustle of city life this weekend and it was incredibly refreshing. Friday evening we packed up the car and headed to the Firefox Mountain … Continue reading Foxfire Mountain House
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! The big day is only 25 days away from today! Having grown up in the Tri-state area, I can tell you this: NYC celebrates the holiday season the right way! Winter markets, ice skating rinks, massive Christmas trees, stunning street decorations, group drinking activities (many which involve … Continue reading Winter Village
I was feeling a little under the weather this weekend, so rather than going out, I figured I would just have to write about it. On our way out of Le Robin Square last Friday, we asked the owner for the best places to get our drank on. We really lucked out-- asking her was … Continue reading Montreal: Drink
If there is one thing Montreal truly does right, it's food. I am in desperate need of a detox after exploring the mouth-watering Montreal food scene (no, but seriously-- since we've gotten back I've bought a ton of fresh fruit and I'm working on eating as raw as possible to recharge my insides!) I've always been a … Continue reading Montreal: Eats

From the food, to the nightlife, to the neighborhoods-- Montreal is so unique and I'm excited to share my experience and itinerary with you. We chose … Continue reading A weekend in Montreal
Greetings from Canada! Ben and I journeyed up across the northern border yesterday for a long weekend in Montreal (blog posts coming soon!) I just wanted to share this really cool spot with you guys. We stopped at the Phoenicia Diner on the drive up and while it was slightly out of the way, it … Continue reading Phoenicia Diner and Why You Should Go
Well maybe you do, but I usually do not. Chocolate, cookies, brownies, cake: count me in! Ice cream's simply just the one sweet treat I've never been able to completely indulge in. That being said, I'm always down to give it a try-- especially if it looks like this cone from Morgenstern's Finest Ice Cream! … Continue reading We all scream for ice cream! (Morgenstern’s)
Finally made it down to see the finished World Trade Center Oculus! I haven't been down to this area in months and the last time I saw it, Santiago Calatrava's strange, rib-cage like structure was still under construction. Beneath the white "bird in flight" exterior is a huge open space lined with stores from H&M … Continue reading Oculus
That's the year the Brooklyn Bridge opened to the public. Some more fun facts for you: the project took 14 years and somewhere around $15 million dollars (at the time) to complete. Oddly enough, when this beauty opened, Brooklyn was its own city rather than a borough, which I definitely didn't know! This stunning NYC … Continue reading 1883.
