To be honest, I didn’t know much about Hamilton on Broadway other than “it’s the hottest (and hardest) ticket to get” and something about the revolving list of actors playing the King. I didn’t listen to the soundtrack, didn’t have the t-shirt or lament on Facebook about never winning the […]
New York City has a dizzying array of food options and yet, I always find myself in Midtown Manhattan in search of food – solo. While in the past, I’ve ventured to Chelsea for Eataly, the frigid weather kept me within a few blocks of the Refinery Hotel in the […]

Kids Today are Lucky! This weekend, I spent time with my niece Aubrey, the lucky kid who got to visit Paris & London with me a few years ago. She was telling me of her spring break trip to Fort Lauderdale with her dad, her upcoming school trip to Virginia, […]
