The Vortex Bar & Grill 438 Moreland Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30307 Beyond the wild exterior is a dark and dive-y space. The drinks are cold and the chili is hot, but if burgers are your thing this is the spot. The establishment is located in the funky neighborhood of […]

Quintessential walk: Piedmont Park A slice of nature in the big city, designed by the son’s of Fredrick Law Olmsted. This is where you retreat from the concrete jungle to throw a ball on the field, walk around the lake, bike, bird watch, walk your dog, visit the botanical gardens, […]
Mr. Friendly’s New Southern Cafe [2001 Greene St, Columbia, SC 29205] This café was bustling with energy and life! I loved the atmosphere and eclectic art on the walls. The food was superb starting with the warm bread and herbed butter. Service was astute, my water was always filled, and […]
If you have just a few hours to explore South Carolina’s capital city of Columbia, hit the streets! Here are four fun things to do: Check out the Tunnel Vision Mural [1550 Marion St., Columbia, SC] Keep your eyes peeled for birds of prey above and any ridiculously huge, I mean abnormally ginormous fire […]

This is one of the best, most unique, and exciting hikes I have been on in a long time. Actually, one of the top hikes I have been on in the region overall. I would say if you are capable of doing a 6.75 mile hike and willing to drive […]
If I can make it a three state day, count me in. From New York, through Massachusetts, into the Southern Berkshires that reaches to Connecticut…it sounds a lot more intense that it actually is – but Kent Falls State Park [462 Kent Cornwall Road (Route 7) Kent, CT] is actually […]
