    photo essay: wynn las vegas

    Ahhh the Wynn Las Vegas. Or what I now like to call my home away from my itsy bitsy teeny weeny tiny shoebox of an apartment that New York City realtors try to persuade naive young twenty-somethings that it is indeed a home. You know the scene in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York when Kevin is jumping on the bed in the Plaza and tearing through the mini fridge? Welcome to my life at the Wynn. Though I have much more to fill you in on regarding my big self-realization that occurred during my time in Vegas (stay…

    OH GOD, it’s here! It’s RTW kick-off week for the romantic & the hubs! Cue everyone’s freak-outs! Askdfdhjgshjgda! Deep breaths. Let’s read. Yeah, we barely even use our US licenses. Do I Need an International Driver’s Licence? Oh great. Now we’re drooling all over ourselves. The Best Food in Liguria and the Cinque Terre Annnd how often did people scream, “ICEBERG, STRAIGHT AHEAD?” because that would have been our people. How Cruising to Antarctica Works HostelBookers did a round-up for NYC Street Eats, and we’re pretty pumped to be included. We <3 food. The New York Street Food Guide Also, in case you haven’t…

    foods of new york: eating our way through the west village

    Now that the countdown is on until the romantic says au revoir to New York (and the wino is teetering on severe depression), we’ve been trying to cram in all the Big Apple fun we can manage. One thing the romantic will miss most about New York? The food. We know where to get the best bagel, the best slice of pizza, the cheapest Pad Thai, and the Chinese that comes with free wine (that’s a real thing). Though foodie adventures are sure to abound around the world, there’s just something about a city that offers freshly baked cookies delivered…

    rtw rookies: the FAQs

    As our plans have slowly leaked out to family, friends, and now, finally, both of our jobs, we’ve been faced with a lot of the same questions… over and over and over again. I loved reading G & Q’s answers to their most commonly asked questions, and even though many of theirs are post-trip, I saw some definite overlap. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even fully answer now, I just distract people with shiny objects and then disappear into a cloud of smoke. But perhaps now I’ll direct them to this post? Either way, whether you were wondering…

    jetsetters: @britseeingstars

    We don’t like to play favorites, but today’s jetsetter, Brit @britseeingstars, is just our kind of girl. The romantic first met Brit at TBEX Keystone, and then we all met up again in NYC during TBEX Costa Brava (mainly to laugh at all the losers who went to Spain. OH MAN, what a bunch of nerds… cue quiet sobbing). It’s safe to say that we officially hit it off as we nurtured our TBEX FOMO over beers. Many beers. And I think shots? Annnyway… though our time as New Yorkers only overlapped for a short time, we’re now obsessed with following…
