Start spreading the news!

Start spreading the news. I am leaving today. I want to be a part of it. New York, New York … Photo for Charles, to show that we can see the Empire State Building! It’s behind a condo which makes it look a little weird. What a day! The weather was INCREDIBLE! Hot, sunny albeit [...]

Restaurant Review: Riverpark, NYC

That’s my Angelina pose! The day turned out to have perfect weather, so JTs first pick for dinner the Riverpark was wonderful. Situated in Manhattan’s Kips Bay neighborhood, Riverpark is a Tom Colicchio restaurant (Top Chef Judge); this restaurant is in an unlikely location of the main floor of an office building overlooking the Hudson [...]

Restaurant Review: Crema NYC

The weather has been incredible and day one in the Big Apple was no different. When we landed it was a teeny tiny bit overcast and cool, but that’s great walking weather (and like Kelly’s family last week, we walked and walked and walked), so we were thrilled! Our amazing hotel, Eventi is located in [...]

New York City! Woohoo!

Restaurant Review: The Flying Saucer Restaurant, Niagara Falls

I know what you’re thinking, “WTF?” It’s weird, it’s bizarre but the food’s good (for breakfast) and the service is also good. And it makes for an interesting post for my blog. The Flying Saucer Restaurant has been around since 1972 and has been pleasing crowds from all over, ever since. It’s not fine dining, [...]

A Little Sojourn to Niagara Falls, Ontario

Did you miss me? We were away and we did not have free wifi. I figured at $200 a night, they could have thrown it in…it was a matter of principal. We like to get away from time to time, even if it’s just a couple of hours away. This weekend is our relatively new [...]

Back to reality and a synopsis

I cannot believe our vacation is over; it feels like it was yesterday that we started planning it. Marrakech is an old city made beautiful by the kindhearted people who live there. Much of it (old and new) looks like it’s crumbling, and in significant decay, but it is not as dirty as one would [...]

Casablanca

Today is our final full day in Morocco. I always find this juncture in our vacations a little bitter sweet; did we see EVERYTHING? DO EVERYTHING? EAT EVERYTHING? But then again, I find some relief that soon I will be sleeping in my own bed, cooking my own food, and for the first while to [...]

Last day in Marrakech

Marrakech’s Medina is a step back in time; traditionally dressed people, souks (markets), confusing little alleys in the souks, noise, sounds, sites and smells. The rush of the motor bikes speeding past you, the stink of the diesel and the cigaret smoking. And there are the cats! All over the place! They walk in everywhere. [...]

Strategic site seeing and shopping in Marrakech

Today is our last day in Marrakech. At this time as in most holidays I have a slight feeling if panic – OMG, did we do everything, see everything, experience everything we possibly could have? We didn’t do this, or that, or even that! This holiday is no different. I have regret that we didn’t [...]
