In the Bag: Camping Essentials

August 2nd, 2010 by admin


Chances are pitching a tent isn’t your favorite part of the camping trip. In fact, I can recall many a quarrel with the ex over which pole goes where while we’re supposed to be relaxing in the wilderness.

Calling All Songwriters: Nashville is Waiting

August 2nd, 2010 by admin


Attention NYC songwriters of any genre: Nashville is calling your name. New York can be a hard place to shut out the noise and listen for the creative voice within, so this summer, I joined my songwriting dad for a weekend intensive course in Nashville at NSAI’s (Nashville Songwriters Association International) song camp.

Aruba, One Happy Island Indeed

June 22nd, 2010 by admin


If you’re looking for summer sun and fun, look no further than Aruba. And I do mean sun—my SPF 50 wasn’t even enough to protect my fair skin from beachside rays that boast a UV rating of 10+ (with 11 being the most intense, by the way). Perhaps a fortunate coincidence, Aruba is one of [...]

BN’s Annual Travel Shoe Trials

June 22nd, 2010 by admin


We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again—if a bad pair of shoes can ruin a night out on the town, they will surely ruin your vacation. We put our own feet on the line again this year, suffering blisters and rubs all in the name of bringing you our latest obsessions in comfort, [...]

I Left My Appetite in San Francisco

May 24th, 2010 by admin


I’ve never met anyone that’s paid a visit to San Francisco and hasn’t fallen in love with it. While I’m a New Yorker through and through, I can’t get enough of the mild weather, beautiful views, Mexican food and friendly people.
While this wasn’t my first visit to the City By the Bay, I thought a [...]

If you’re anything like me, Memorial Day weekend sends you running in the opposite direction of the throngs heading to the shore for their first sunburn of the year.

From the Alps…With Love: The Ultimate Hiking TripPart II: Zermatt to Geneva

March 1st, 2010 by admin


A couple’s adventure through Switzerland continues from last month:

For you really rugged couples interested in soaking up a less manicured, shall we say, “hardcore” version of the Alps, use your Swiss Pass to head south to the town of Zermatt, a town at the center of the Pennine Alps, a section that holds the most [...]

Weekend at WoodlochA Perfect Valentine’s Day Getaway

February 1st, 2010 by admin


For me, Valentine’s Day has always seemed oddly misplaced. By February, early-winter festivity has surrendered to mid-winter frost, finding me bloated, dieting and anxious to shed some layers in the warmth of spring. February is rarely what I would consider to be a “sexy” time of the year. And this year, that feeling was compounded [...]

Adventures in Atlantic City

November 30th, 2009 by admin


Atlantic City.
Chances are when you hear those words you will think of at least one of these things: Slot machines. The boardwalk. Wheelchairs and oxygen tanks. That’s clearly different from the glitzy and glamorous reputation that Las Vegas enjoys, even in spite of a notoriously seedy side. Still, with increasingly lauded nightlife venues and [...]
