city dwellers: new york’s upper east side
We’ve already taken you on a tour of Gramercy and Murray Hill, but in this installment of City Dwellers, I’m sticking a little closer to home. Both of my New York City apartments have been on the Upper East Side (and three of the romantic and the hubs’ apartments as well), so we’ve gotten to know this neighborhood pretty well over the past couple of years. You’ve probably heard me talk about every single place on this list at least once before, because let’s face it, when I have to choose between heading downtown or sticking within walking distance of my apartment,…

the dublin weekender, part two: eating & drinking
In case you missed it, I recently shared my favorite places for sleeping & sightseeing in Ireland’s beloved capital. Originally, I had included where to eat & drink… but the list was just getting excessive and it felt like it deserved its own post. So! If you’re in need of where to sleep and what to see, check it out here. A quick refresher because I’m nice? Spends your nights at either The Westbury Hotel or The Croke Park Hotel (or a mix of both!), and limit your sightseeing list to as little as you can because, really, truly… it’s…

philadelphia: a bucket list
For those of you paying attention, you may realize that this is my second time packing up and bidding adieu to the Big Apple. The last time I was leaving, I had the romantic and the hubs in town to help me tackle my ultimate NYC bucket list. Say what you will about the concept of bucket lists, but it gave us the motivation we needed to get out and see parts of the city that otherwise, we were unmotivated to do. Rather than think about all of the things I’ll miss about New York– and there are many– I decided…

the dublin weekender, part one: sleeping & sightseeing
As the hubs and I expand our growing list of cities we love, I find myself regularly trying to rank them. It’s not that I necessarily need them ranked… it’s that “what’s your favorite city?” is the #1 question we get whenever we catch up with old friends. And, despite all the times people have asked, I still can’t answer with a clear, straightforward answer. Instead, I’ve now taken to responding with a different question: “for what?” If the question is, “a weekend getaway when you’re short on time, but want to see the heart of the city and experience…

style spotter: capri (+ a travel announcement!)
Well, well, well! Hello and happy Sunday! Or maybe Monday? I guess it all really depends on when you decide to read this, but that doesn’t change the main point, which is this: as I type, I am less than 12 hours away from boarding a flight for Capri, Italy. This trip is only about a week in the making, and just another example of why I love living in Europe. The hubs, along with a group of other fellow MBA-ers, is spending his week tied up in an intense timesuck of a class. Rather than hole up in the…
