A couple of years ago, while in Chicago in the Spring, we managed to get ourselves squeezed into Gemini in Lincoln Park for dinner at their grand reopening, and immediately fell in love. The service and atmosphere were amazing, but consistently outdone by the amazing food. When we got wind that ...
Lunch at Willow Room
Just a block above North Avenue in Chicago's Lincoln Park lies a neat and unassuming yellow brick building. Crisp, black trim circles the first floor facade, and minimal window dressing reads, "Willow Rm" in a slight gold script. This is Willow Room, a happy eatery I've been stalking on Instagram ...
Touring Bourbon
I'm a creature of habit, of tradition. There's post-Derby Sunday brunch, always heading to Chicago over the 4th of July weekend, Italian Creme Cake at the holidays. It's as if- over the years- I've created so many "always" in my life that there was no room for anything new or different. If I ...
Terzo Piano
We've become an old, married couple.
There. I've said it.
Keep in mind that the Mister and I aren't married. Nor are we old. Well.... not that old, at least. We're closer to social security than sorority parties, sure, but we can still hang. If we aren't listening to Yo-Yo Ma on Sunday ...
Makeready L&L
There's nothing more convenient when one is traveling than finding sleep in a hotel that houses a fantastic restaurant. From knowing that midnight dessert is just a phone call away to the convenience of running a few floors down for dinner in a snowstorm, hotel eateries are where it's at, in this ...
Noelle Nashville
Sometimes, we travel on a whim. A quick couple of nights in a close-by city is enough to get us out of our own living room for the weekend and sleep somewhere new, try restaurants and bars outside of our usual. Two weekends ago, we hopped in the car and headed south with no agenda other than ...
NYC: Nari Ward’s We the People
I'm consistently surprised at how often different types of entertainment in my life overlap. For instance, I could be watching a movie- any movie- and recognize one of the actors from this other thing, and I'm immediately on imdb researching said actor until I'm down an internet rabbit hole. I can ...
Dinner at NoMad’s Parlour
It's been over a week now, and I can still taste the foie gras, feel myself snuggled into the red velvet armchairs...
On our second night in New York, it was decided that a fancy-schmancy dinner was in order (this was also due to the fact that neither a sleepy dinner at our hotel the night ...
Catching Winks at the Marlton Hotel
Sunday morning, the man and I hopped a plane to New York, ready to spend a couple of days walking Manhattan, grabbing dinner with friends, shopping (always shopping), and making sure I didn't leave without a pastrami Reuben from Katz. Between all the fun, though, we needed to rest our head ...
