Over my 2+ years living in New York, I had never considered vacationing to the Hamptons. My friends and I recently decided to make the trip and it couldn’t have been a more relaxing getaway. We rented a car early Wednesday morning in an attempt to beat the traffic. The drive was smooth. We were […]

3rd year of Bamboozle did not disappoint! We stayed overnight, crashed a wedding after-party, ate funnel cake, drank all the Jameson and re-lived high school. Or at least I did. Thank you Boysetsfire. I’m reeeeadyyyyy Day One. Sunset over Asbury Park Foo Fighters killing it. Dave Grohl behind the drums was awesome. […]
Boston Getaway: Brunch in Davis Square

I found myself in Boston recently where my friend, who lives in Davis Square, brought me to her favorite local brunch place, Ball Square Cafe. Patrons lined up down the block taking turns visiting the refrigerator inside for a drink while they waited. The line went pretty quickly and was definitely worth it. Bacon, egg […]

Everyone once in a while, a quick escape from the city is welcome. The suburbs are eerily quiet. My parents live across from a park. With grass! And a playground! And ducks! Weird.

Timing is everything. While at a bar in Los Angeles (The Woods – valet parking in a strip mall? I don’t get you, LA), I overheard a group of girls talking about a Surfer Blood show they were going to see at the Getty. Come to find out, the museum hosts Saturdays off the 405, […]

A trip to the San Diego Zoo was the perfect way to break up our chunk of time in LA. We spent 4 magical hours navigating the Panda Canyon, Polar Rim, Lost Forest and so much more. Did you know you can buy beer and margaritas at the zoo?! Amazing. The koalas were so sleepy. […]

Our road trip from San Francisco to LA started with an accidental drive across the Golden Gate Bridge. (I can’t drive and my navigation skills were a little rusty.) We crossed the bridge twice and drove through SF toward the Pacific Coast Highway. Since we had 8 days in California, we decided to take the […]
