Brunch at Morning Glory, San Diego
What happens when you blend a near perfect aesthetic with a funky, international brunch menu and tuck it away in Little Italy? You get Morning Glory! This brunch destination opened it’s doors in 2019 with a build helmed by Basile Studio and a reported price tag of 4 million. Apparently that paid off because it

Dinner at Dante, Los Angeles
I have a weakness for rooftop dining. It beckons like a portal to another world – geographically stuck in a busy metropolis but blissfully cocooned in a calm oasis. Dante’s opening in Beverly Hills officially made this New York icon bicoastal and I couldn’t be more thrilled by its arrival. Situated on the rooftop of

Getaway at The Venetian
It’s been too long since we’ve had a getaway that wasn’t commingled with a work trip. Lucky for us, all those work trips added up to a stash of airline miles just begging to be used. Happy to oblige, we booked a 6-night stay at The Venetian in Las Vegas. This stunning hotel is an

Boston: Hits + Misses
Boston’s culinary scene spans American history in a way few other cities can compete with. From historic Irish pubs to generational Italian eateries to new wave Japanese coffee shops each have left their mark creating a preserved strata of cultures arriving and overlapping. This is exactly the sort of dining scene I’m looking for and

Brunch at Café Basque, Los Angeles
I’m a self-professed foodie. I don’t need white tablecloths or waiters in bowties. I love a dive or a hole-in-the-wall and am happy to nosh anywhere the food is good. But what really feeds my soul is design. For every mile I’d travel for a delicious dish, I’d travel ten miles for a stunning interior.

24 Hours in San Francisco
Recently, my husband and I logged a whirlwind 24 hours in Las Vegas. We weren’t planning another 24 hour trip anytime soon, but when a work function popped up in San Francisco it seemed only fair to make the most of it. I leveraged our eleventh hour decision as the ideal opportunity to book Palihotel

A Newbie’s Guide to Disneyland
The topic of Disneyland boasts a vast catalogue of dedicated media. Articles, blogs, round-ups, listicles, and vlogs are so abundant one wonders if another is needed. Probably not, but I love snacking my way through almost anywhere so here we are! It’s important to state at the outset that I am a true Disneyland newbie.

Afternoon Tea at Knife Pleat, Costa Mesa
Afternoon tea is my soapbox. It’s my impassioned, late night infomercial. I believe it is woefully under appreciated in North America and, as such, hard to find. Like an unseen fourth dimension or a secret society, afternoon teas are among us but invisible. A quick local google and a variety of cottagecore tea houses are

Bag Review: Ferragamo Studio
If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you know I love to travel and I love to eat. But when we’re going places, what are we carrying? Over the past couple years, a favorite style in my wardrobe has been the Ferragamo Studio bag. I own the small and find it

24 Hours in Las Vegas
The Vegas Strip has near endless dining options with a constant rotation of new restaurants, eateries, and food halls opening (and closing) in an intricate rhythm. The sheer magnitude of choices can be paralyzing. We were recently in Vegas for only 24 hours, a quick stop “in-between” LA and home. A note to any readers
