For my birthday last year, I wanted to have brunch somewhere with a lovely view, and somehow ended up finding Rat’s Restaurant, which is in/beside Grounds for Sculpture in New Jersey. Definitely a new favorite spot for a day trip…
Located about an hour from Midtown Manhattan by subway and bus (about 30 minutes by car), Wave Hill is a perfect day trip to escape from the city. Despite the fact that the year-round activities available such as family…
Perfect weather greeted us the day I showed Mshel around Brooklyn. This could’ve made for a flawless day as well, but when we tried to get up to the One World Observatory on our way to Brooklyn, the line…
One gorgeous summer weekend in New York City, my bff Mshel came to visit. As per our M.O., we jam-packed our itinerary because we believe the following Mindy Lahiri philosophy: “You have to have an itinerary. That’s how you maximize…

For years Michael and I have been talking about going to the “Sakura Matsuri” festival at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, but have never actually gone. This year, I made it a point to put it in my calendar, but I…
DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) is one of my favorite neighborhoods in NYC. It’s not very big, and the activities you can do are limited, but the view is gorgeous at Brooklyn Bridge park and there are plenty…
I’ve written about (or taken photos of) quite a few walks here, but if you know me and/or have been reading this blog, you’ll know most of the places on here are ones that I don’t normally go to. Some…
