On our third full day in the city, I decided to get lunch at one of my favorite Japanese fast food locations in Chelsea.  We were not planning to get to the US Open until after 1pm for a match we wanted to see, so I decided to get dressed early and walk the 7…

For Labor Day weekend, my mother and I traveled to New York City primarily to attend the US Open.  This had been on the bucket list for both of us for a while and so we were extremely excited to finally go.  We decided to add a few additional activities to our trip to include…

Pappadeaux Our Cabo trip was coming to an end and my friend and I had a three hour layover in the Houston Lobby airport. Usually, customs and immigration are a lengthy process that requires a longer layover time but since both my friend and I got the Global Entry, it barely took us 30 minutes….

On the last full day of our trip, everyone in my group wanted to linger at home and pack, however, I was up for more adventure. So I ventured on to the sister resort, Pueblo Bonito Rosé, which is located on the swimmable beach off the Sea of Cortez. After a 20 minute shuttle ride,…

Sunset Da Mona Lisa Prior to the trip, I had discovered this restaurant during restaurant scouting research and was super interested in visiting for a dining experience. Typically, if a restaurant has an amazing view, the food is not all that great or vice versa.  However, our personal concierge highly recommended that we visit this…

Restaurant and Bar Villa Serena As I told you before, I never ever forget an amazing dining experience.  When I was a preteen, my mother and her companion at the time took me and my friend to this restaurant. I remember that we had delicious lobster but I distantly remember that the restaurant was a…

On the second evening of our trip, I coordinated with our personal concierge and made a reservation at the popular Los Tres Gallos Restaurante. This place came highly recommended as a place to visit and even the taxi driver agreed.

One of first evening in Mexico, my mother decided to have our first dinner at the Quivira Clubhouse which is a steakhouse located on the golf course of the resort. The location of this restaurant/clubhouse is absolutely stunning.

Almost every year, my mother gets excited about visiting her timeshare in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico located in Baja Sur California.  I have grown up traveling there and pretty much know my way around the city and have enjoyed our experiences at the Pueblo Bonito resorts.  They have multiple resorts located in the city and…

Focusing specifically on cupcakes, it is very difficult to determine if one cupcakery is better than another because everyone has a personal preference, I, for one, am a huge icing lover. That is the fundamental different in the styles at Sprinkles Cupcakes and Georgetown Cupcake.

A coworker and I went to Happy Hour on H Street in DC after work one Thursday. I had never ventured there before but it is apparently a pretty happening area in DC with a few historical sites as well. We started at this spot called Redrocks which calls itself a Neapolitan Bistro but the…

Earlier this year, I met a really nice lady at my social club that shared a love for good food and great conversation.  We kept trying to make plans to meet but could not solidify a date. Finally, we were able to link for a meal, months later, and decided to go to the BlueStone…
