After a whirlwind day in Naples we jumped on a ferry in the shadow of Vesuvius for an hour-long boat ride, headed to our island destination of Ischia and the resort of Punta Chiarito, set at the mouth of the Bay of Naples. We quickly left Naples in our wake. The impetus for […]

I had been interested to visit Boston’s SoWa Sunday Market for a long time. So, on my recent New England vacation, I dedicated my last full day in Boston to an immersive dive into this hip outdoor market. The SoWa Market features unique food and artisan goods in a vintage […]
Oleana had been on my Boston food list forever. And this trip I made it happen. Still jet-lagged from my red-eye, I had kept myself awake on my first day in Boston with a sensory-filled excursion through the South End, and a stellar tapas lunch at Toro. But Oleana was earmarked as my […]

St. Patrick’s Cathedral Diversion En Route to The Fumbally We walked down the wide trafficky boulevard where Patrick St. turns into New St. and […]
Exhausted and still jet-lagging on my second day in Dublin, I let myself sleep-in and wasn’t up till 11am. Disappointed after that first crisp sunny day in town – I could hear the early October rain beating firmly on my hotel window sill. The rain served to warm Dublin a […]
