Queens is the most culturally diverse county in the world. I live about 30 minutes from there and rarely ever spend time in any of the neighborhoods. I recently watched the Anthony Bourdain special on it and was once again reminded why I am so lucky to live in New York. It also gave me…
Tel Aviv holds such a special place in my heart. It was my first trip after a major break up, a place I went to heal. It worked better than I ever thought. I met some wonderful people and did so many wonderful things. By the end of my trip I felt completely different. Before…

I already had the pleasure of spending time in Memphis about a decade ago and knew it was the kind of city I wanted to return to. However I was itching to get to Nashville. As a huge fan of country music I was excited to see all the places I had heard about.
