Epicure: Cask Bar & Kitchen

As a creature of habit, when I truly enjoy something, I become a cult follower. Being a Murray Hill native, my go to for drinks, food and great music is no other than Cask Bar & Kitchen. Located on 33rd street near 3rd ave, this humble speakeasy provides foodies (like myself) an array of unique dishes and libations. My drink of choice is the Spicy Blood Orange Margarita.

Fleetwood Mac Concert in NYC

Last night's Fleetwood Mac concert was probably one of the most anticipated moments of my life. Having seen bands like The Rolling Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam, and Green Day, I can genuinely say this was in my top 5 performances ever. If you are not familiar with the band, I highly suggest downloading the following from their live album The Dance or their studio album Rumors.

Chasing the Sun: Miami

I don't know about you, but I could not last another minute in this unheard of New York chill! I booked a weekend trip to South Beach, Florida for the Food Network Food & Wine Festival. The mini vaca was filled with amazing food, endless fun, and even sun burns.Luckily it's starting to warm up in the north east today, enjoy it!

Skiing Stratton Mountain, VT

Perfect snow conditions at Stratton Mountain this season. There's nothing better than skiing all day and having a beer at Grizzly's apres ski. Until next season!

Since I've been gone...

Seriously can't believe how long it's been since my last post. I've been sadly computerless since September. Living off an iPhone is simply not the same...Very excited to get back into the blog groove for Spring!

Since I've been gone:
- I moved to Manhattan
- I started my career at J.Crew Corporate
- I've traveled A LOT
