There’s something about trying out a restaurant’s new menu fresh out of the kitchen. I was lucky to be amongst the firsts to feast and drink from Chef Jonathan Waxman's spring menu, and I can’t wait to try other items before the season is over! If I wasn’t vegetarian/pescatarian I would’ve tried everything! I aim… Continue reading 1 Hotel Central Park: Jams by Chef Jonathan Waxman

Roaming in New Jersey: Echo Lakes Stables
Whamnin' Roamers! Not many people know this but ever since my Senior Trip in High School, I have been fascinated with horseback riding as a therapeutic measure. Because it's so expensive in NY, I never got many opportunities to do so. However, while living in Italy I was able to fulfill those dreams. Fast forward… Continue reading Roaming in New Jersey: Echo Lakes Stables
Roaming in Tulum (Pt. 1): Beach Day
Before Tulum became the tourist magnet that it is today, I had the pleasure of visiting this slice of paradise a few years ago.

Spoiler alert: I was involved… Continue reading Roaming in Tulum (Pt. 1): Beach Day

Whenever I think that I've had my "best city yet" moment another one comes along to surprise me. I started off the week by visiting Riccione.

Roaming in Ascoli Piceno: Pinacoteca Civica di Ascoli Piceno
With my face primarily back to what I was used to seeing in front of the mirror (see Roaming with Allergies ), I took advantage of the amazing weather to go and explore Ascoli Piceno.

Roaming with Allergies
Currently I resemble, what I imagine to be, a newborn alien. Or as my younger brother would say: Sam Cassell. If you are fortunate to have never had an allergic reaction in your life then kudos to you. Like many, I walk around in fear that a meal I was about to devour could end… Continue reading Roaming with Allergies
