“If you like Piña Coladas…”

This week is shaping up to be one of the busiest I’ve had in a while, which is almost always the case leading up to a long weekend/vacation.

Local Loves: La Dolce Vita

Every once in a while, something will come across my social media feeds that will stop me in my tracks- be it an incredible looking recipe/dish, a miracle makeup product, a travel destination or a local business I’d never heard of before.

The music venues (and music scene, of course!) The great places to eat and drink- plenty of which I’ve written about on […]

The New Places Tour…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! I’m sitting here with a cup of coffee (not a beer with green food coloring in it- I promise!) and am getting a slow and easy start to a somewhat extended weekend of adventure, live music and time with friends in and around New England. I had mentioned a couple […]

Brunches and Bookstores…

The week is shaping up to be a pretty busy one for me, not only because we have another snowstorm on the way in the coming days ahead, but because Troy is visiting from California for a bit and I’ve been getting my apartment and schedule sorted out to welcome him back. We’ve been making […]
