People were lingering around the block and near the entrance. Uh-oh. I didn’t make and reservations, it’s going to be a good long wait.It seems as though Pastabilities [311 S Franklin St, Syracuse, NY 13202] is one of the hottest joints in town. Luck was on our sides when we […]

We felt kind of funny heading into the mall on our weekend getaway adventure, but the ends justify the means, right? On a quest for some pinball in Syracuse, we found Cloud City Comics & Toys [ShoppingTown Mall, 3649 Erie Blvd E, Syracuse, NY 13214] which has a great little […]
Harrison Bakery, 1306 W Genesee St, Syracuse, NY 13204 We were going to split one, but when we sat out at the bright red table in front and I held it in my hands I knew it wouldn’t go so well (for Jeff at least). I sent him back inside […]
This is the kind of place I dream about having in my city. Roji Tea Lounge [108 E Washington St #2, Syracuse, NY 13202] has such a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere, it’s a perfect alternative nightlife spot. Plenty of seating to be found, be it a couch, folding chair, or […]
The Wizard of Oz holds a special place in our culture and in many of our hearts. When I would go over to visit my grandparents there was a rotation of movies I had to choose from: Imitation of Life, The Omega Man, and the Wizard of Oz. Two out […]
Otherworldly. Shockingly beautiful. Of mystical proportions. How can I explain to you the magnificence of Green Lakes State Park [7900 Green Lakes Rd, Fayetteville, NY 13066]? I cannot. You simply must go see it for yourself. On my early morning weekend visit the hoards were still sleeping. Just a few […]
My parents vacation on the southwestern portion of Rhode Island right along the border of Connecticut every summer. This year while I was road tripping along the coast I decided to stop and see what it’s all about, checking out all of their favorite spots and adding in a bit […]
A few summers back I had a quick visit to Newport Rhode Island, a bit too quick! While I was able to do the infamous Cliff Walk, I didn’t have time to tour any of the mansions. Well, my life seems to be turbo charged, and yet again I found […]
The lunching hour was upon us as we made our way through Rhode Island. Looking for an interesting casual spot, Budare Grille [716 Dexter St, Central Falls, RI] caught my eye. I had never tried Venezuelan cuisine before, so I was quite excited. The staff is friendly and the place […]
Sculpture parks are one of my favorite places to frolic (other include fields of wildflowers and sandy shores) amidst larger than life imaginative creations under the big ole sky. Sunday was all about road tripping back from New Hampshire, and DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park [51 Sandy Pond Rd, Lincoln, […]
Just a hop, skip, and a jump over state lines from Portsmouth, NH is Kittery, ME. Seriously, the two towns are only 2 miles from one another, 10 minutes away. I thought it would be a shame not to double dip right into Maine. The two are so close I […]
I was surprised to see so much action going on in a town I’d barely heard of. As we were walking around a heard a lady say to her companion ‘more and more people come here every summer.’ Portsmouth is definitely catching on, and with good reason. The city is […]
On a quick weekend trip to Portsmouth, we only had one day to experience the New Hampshire coast! So many beaches to choose from I was swimming in decisions. I do declare I picked the perfect little beach, Great Island Common [301 Wentworth Rd, New Castle, NH 03854]. Tucked away […]
Ever since I was a young girl, I’ve played the silver ball. From Asbury Park to Budapest, I’m doing my best to play them all. Pelham, New Hampshire is kind of in the middle of nowhere (under an hour from Boston), but completely worth the expedition if you are a […]
Between the service and the food, I cannot rave enough about the wonderful experience at Fatima’s Cafe [43 W Boylston St, Worcester, MA 01605]. It was the perfect place to stop on our road trip from Albany to New Hampshire and a good excuse to experience a town I’ve never […]
