I’m not sure who wanted to cry more, the Fathom staff that had spent months (and years) in preparation or the passengers who were excited to experience the new cruise concept of social impact activities in the Dominican Republic (the DR). It was an emotional 24 hours for everyone scheduled […]
Each year I visit New York City for the New York Times Travel Show and stay at a different hotel each time on my quest to try new properties in the city. After my stay at The Muse, a Kimpton hotel, where I was given a rooftop room with patio, […]
***Note: The hotel is no longer a Kimpton property as of February 4, 2016, my stay occurred in 2015 when still a Kimpton managed property and this review is reflective of that. To my knowledge the owners are not making changes to staff or decor so all should hopefully be […]
Food in New Orleans is legend, I had so many suggestions from my #foodiechats and #foodtravelchat friends before my New Orleans trip, everyone had a favorite food memory. As I was traveling on business for a conference, I wasn’t quite sure how much free time I would have to eat. I […]

This past weekend, I attended the New York Times Travel Show 2015 at the Javits Center in New York City. I’ve now attended the show in all three categories – consumer, travel industry and this year I was provided a press pass. Both the industry day (Friday) and consumer days […]
I wanted to go to a Broadway show, my friend wanted to see the Rockette’s Holiday Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall. The Rockettes are for tourists that arrive by the swarm on the buses for the day, I thought. In over twenty years of visits to the city, even […]
Exiting Penn Station, I pushed through the New York City crowds and tried not to get my eyes poked out from the plethora of umbrellas on the street as I walked a few blocks to the Hyatt Place New York Midtown-South. The rain was unending and unavoidable, it started in […]
