in a new york minute // an instagram guide to nyc
There’s no disputing it: social media — and Instagram in particular — is a blessing and a curse. We love it and we hate it and we love to love and hate it. While we could do without the spammy comments (“LoVe ThIs! Come follow me!”), follows from bots like @GetMoreFolowers558737, or, worst of all, the constant follows AND unfollows from engagement-starved bloggers, there’s still a lot to love. As travelers, Instagram is one of our top sources of wanderlust and inspiration. While Instagram is extra handy for researching new destinations, we’ve also recently found a new use. Lately, we’ve…

the beginner’s guide to the southern finger lakes
With the Douro Valley fresh in my mind after #LTportugal, I’m feeling super nostalgic for our time spent in other beautiful wine regions around the world. Most recently: the southern Finger Lakes.

The Y-shaped Keuka Lake is smack dab in the middle of the Finger…

For the past few years, one or both of us have lived in Manhattan, and as annoying as it may sound… New York is just different when you live there. As a resident, you’re oddly protective of a…

sneak peek: #LTeastcoast & the big apple
It’s hard to believe, but we’re already checked two cities off our #LTeastcoast list. And in case you missed us, that would be official name for our grand tour of the east coast. Today, we say goodbye to the Big Apple and head north to Beantown. How have we been spending our time so far? Eating and drinking, of course! Last night, the wino spent happy hour at Gallow Green in Chelsea and dinner at Toro, while the romantic took a stroll through Central Park and met friends uptown for dinner at Busters NYC (now closed). While we’ve spent the majority of…
