Overnights are always fun for me. There are always things to take pictures of and I have no qualms about exploring the stop on my own as I am a very seasoned solo traveler. Sometimes the crew wants to go get dinner together and that kind of dampers my excitement. Read more…

Making a stop in the chaotic Chelsea Market on the weekend is not really what any New Yorker wants to do. The place is a tourist Mecca, far off from what it was when I worked across the street 20 years ago. But I had to go to Pia Vegan Read more…

It is really difficult to capture the beauty of these trees with the camera. But that doesn’t mean I won’t try. During the beautiful blue hour I began shooting them and I continued until my hunger pangs won the battle. Meet Joshuas. It is when they are plentiful and layered Read more…

My vegan Staten Island reporting is pretty much blowing up. And so I am uncovering more vegan options on my neighboring borough, starting at Bin 5 in Rosebank: Michelin-Rated and considered “One of Staten Island’s top places to eat” by the New York Times, as their website proclaims.

Wynwood, Miami is a bit of a thing. It’s an Art District showcasing some pretty spectacular graffiti murals, “good vibes” (i.e. the smell of mary jane), and lots of hip eateries and shops. So that means a ton of people: not my favorite thing. 😆 But that is where Charley’s Read more…

After two days of walking about London, we bought an Oyster Card and went to the underground. Our room is just a couple of minutes from Baker Street station, of Baker Street (the song) fame, which plays eerily from some unknown source. The London Underground is a great system of transit Read more…

On Tuesdays there are all-vegan tacos from Los Veganos Hermanos at Good Co. Bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. After we watched los veganos make the tortilla from scratch and sipped on some cocktails, I ate one of each of their tacos. From left to right, Mushroom “Carnitas” Taco with smashed avocado and shredded red Read more…
