What makes a city family friendly?
I’ve been driving around the United States for about six months now and I’ve covered a good portion of the part that lies to the east of the Mississippi River. Because I write about my trip, I get quite a bit of advice from friends, family, and strangers. I’m grateful for most of it, but [...]
Stay. New York City, NY
“Not just a hotel, but rather a place to stay,” is the mantra for the artsy, boutique hotel in midtown Manhattan called Stay. The location is close to the theater district, Central Park, Rockefeller Center, and the Madison and Fifth Avenue shopping districts. Stay has the glossy veneer of a wannabe hipster scene with a [...]
Witness or Participate in the New York City Village Halloween Parade
There’s nothing like a good parade to liven up a holiday, and Halloween is no exception. And nobody does up a parade like the folks of New York City. Combine the two – New York City and a Halloween parade – and you get the Village Halloween Parade, now in its 39th year. This annual [...]
Beach Music Series: Jan and Dean’s Surf City
To ignore the classics is a huge mistake. Jan and Dean’s Surf City was the #1 song for two weeks in 1963, was originally titled “Goodie Connie Won’t You Come Back Home” and written by Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. Wilson gave it to Jan Berry and Dean Torrence who finished writing and recording [...]
City and Country Package at the Mandarin Oriental Boston and Blantyre in the Berkshires
Fall is one of the most beautiful times of year here in Massachusetts- there are still some very warm days, but there’s usually a crisp feel in the air. Later in the fall, you’ll also have the opportunity to see the leaves changing color. If you’d like to check out a luxury hotel in the [...]
Vermilion – New York City, New York
Sometimes you go out for a big meal in New York City. Perhaps you grabbed some incredible meatloaf at Eatery NYC. Or enjoyed the cheese plate at Artisanal. Or maybe, just maybe, you ate your way through an entire 5 Napkin Burger. You are full, sated and very happy. But, as it’s only 8:30pm or [...]
For Family Fun Visit a Playful City
It is often very easy to take for granted what is around us. In my community it is very easy to take for granted the wide bike paths, parks within walking distance of every home and family friendly community activities. Because my town has “taken action for play” it has been designated a “Playful City” by [...]
Sapporo – New York City, New York
They say there’s no such thing as a free lunch. This seems even more true when you are trying to grab a bite in New York City. Despite fun urban tales of sneaking into law firms and stealing chicken wraps, even the hot dog vendors seem to overcharge for a midday bite. And popular favorites [...]
Caffe Roma Bakery – New York City, New York
“Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.” Oh, what a quote! The Godfather may have had dozens of quotable quips but this may be my favorite. Mostly because it’s true. Let’s face it, anyone who has eaten good cannoli knows why Clemenza wanted to make sure that incredible pastry wouldn’t be left behind on account of [...]
The National – New York City, New York
New York City is well known as the city that never sleeps. But it could also be known as the city where it’s hard to nice restaurants that serve food between 2:00pm-5:30pm. The line just doesn’t fit as well on a bumper sticker. But trust me on this: while you can dip into all manner [...]
