happy hen: the wino wedding season is here!
We started this blog a little over three years ago now, and there’s no question: our lives have changed dramatically during this time. We’ve changed cities, we’ve changed jobs, we’ve changed cities again. We’ve changed our hair, we’ve changed direction, we’ve gotten overwhelmed, and we’ve gotten back on track. The romantic abandoned ship and became an expat. The wino fell in love, got engaged, and gets married in 5 days. That’s right: the wino wedding season is HERE! That is crazytown, and in all the best ways. Luckily for us, the wino’s other half swooped in and fit right into…

#LTselects: gordon’s wine bar
With just over two weeks to go until the wino becomes mrs. the wino, we’ve been spending most of our time here at LT headquarters talking on gchat about what’s still on her to do list, everything she’ll eat on her honeymoon, and how much champagne we’re going to drink (TOGETHER! REUNITED!) in about 13 days and counting. This should come as no surprise. Wine & champagne is at the heart of every great celebration. When we were together in London in November, a trip to the city’s oldest wine bar, Gordon’s Wine Bar, was very obviously in order. Spoiler…

12 hours in dublin // the ultimate first-timer’s pub crawl
Because my fiance knows me so very well, he surprised me with 12 hours in Dublin via an overnight layover after our whirlwind three-day adventure in London. If you recall, I spent a year living in Ireland during grad school. I have since been chomping at the bit to take Sean back! I wanted to show him the homeland, and all of the pubs places I loved during my time there. We arrived at 5 PM, giving me approximately twelve hours to show my Dublin first-timer a taste Ireland. And what better way to explore than via the best pubs…

the ultimate beer hunt // the philadelphia craft beer scene
After a short stint in the rural suburbs of Bucks County, I can happily announce: my fiancé and I have moved into our new Philadelphia apartment! Now that we’re (somewhat) settled, it’s our mission to fully explore our new city. And where did we start? With the Philadelphia craft beer scene, of course! It took us a few more months than we initially planned. But we’ve made the transition from bagel-loving, bodega-shopping, subway-riding New Yorkers to cheesesteak-devouring, soft-pretzel eating, Santa-booing (jklol) Philadelphians. All we need now is our go-to list of bars for post-work happy hours and weekend benders, and we’ll…

nyc brewery tour with @urbanoyster (or, the time the wino went day-drinking with her dad)
If you follow all things Lazy Travelers (which, les’ be honest, you should be), you may know our friends over at Urban Oyster. We joined the New York City tour company last winter for a brewery tour of Brooklyn-based beer destinations, which solidified my love for Brooklyn Brewery. When Urban Oyster told me that they expanded their beer tour to span multiple boroughs, I couldn’t wait to try out some new NYC beer hotspots. And, the super amazing cherry on top: they drive you from place to place. Done aaaand done. Before anyone gets accusatory, let me be the first to…
