Mexico City, Mexico

Bienvenido!  I’ve been on hiatus for almost 4 years from blogging since I’ve been much more active on my instagram.  A lot has happened since, I’ve traveled quite a bit, ate a lot of good food, ran two marathons (Philly & NYC) and being part of the change in our food culture.  I remain so

2015 Year in Food Review

“I’ll have the usual.”  Maybe its a sign that I am getting old or as my friend tells me, I know what I want. 2015 marks my final year in my twenties. I’ve noticed my eating habit very often included the restaurants I have already been to and I would order my usual.  There’s the

2014 Year in Review

photos taken with instagram @iluvpotato “Nothing is achieved without effort.” 2014 has been a milestone. It was not easy, starting the year and on my birthday being unemployed. But it was an opportunity to take the time to rejuvenate, rethink, and rediscover the city I grew up in and reviewing my personal goals. A transition

2013 Year in Review

Along the Meditteranean Sea in Twelve Days

A long overdue travel post but better than never.  I do regret that I never wrote a recap on my trip to Italy and France in 2008.  Well, since then I haven’t traveled out of the country until this year during late May,  I was fortunate to share my travel memories with my friend again,

Fat Tuesday, Indeed.

  What a better start to the year 2012 than a trip to a city on my list of places to visit for awhile, New Orleans!  Last month my sister and I flew to New Orleans for a four day food trip (1/5 -1/8) and it is the ultimate foodie city.  The cuisine in New Orleans is distinctively

Meet Me at Montauk

One of my favorite  films is “Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind” (2004)  and there is the infamous line, “meet me at Montauk.”  Ever since, I’ve been dreaming of  taking a trip to the very East End of Long Island, but have always postponed it until this weekend. It was a relaxing Saturday with a
