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 […]

A deli so beloved, the line wraps around like a snake in the narrow corridor. Rossi Rosticceria Deli [45 S Clover St, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601] was a packed house, but we happily hopped on line. The deli is a market and along with the mix of sandwiches provided soups, pasta, […]
The Hudson River gets a bad rap. It’s understandable that people would want to stay away from it because of the heavy pollution…but even though the river has had a hard few centuries, it still manages to maintain life and beauty – a visit to Henry Hudson Park [Off of […]
This is the kind of park you would expect in a fairytale. Rolling hills of green, green grass…sunset over the Hudson River… Intricately crafted wooden gazebos and bridges, winding wooded trails through the forest. If you’re looking for a picture perfect park experience, visit Poet’s Walk Park [776 River Rd […]
We took a brisk walk at this interesting preserve the other day (319 Joslen Boulevard, Hudson). There is a little parking lot and there are trail maps provided, so grab one and go! Fresh snow on the ground, but the trails weren’t slippery or icy for the most part. There […]
Ko Olina Lagoons This was our absolute favorite beach, and we didn’t even mind traveling over a half an hour to get there, so worth it (Ko Olina exit off of Farrington Highway). The weather leeward was usually better than all other places on the island, so that was another […]
Chinatown Cultural Plaza (Cheap Eats, Culture, Honolulu) On the first day we visited this place seemed so mysterious (100 North Beretania Street, Honolulu, HI 96817). It was drizzling and foggy, the scent of incense cloaked the air. Few people, none who could answer our questions in English were wandering around, […]
Kalapawai Market (Sandwiches, Cheap Eats, Lunch [or early dinner], Windward) If you find yourself Windward and you’re looking for a tasty sandwich, you gotta stop at this market. These sandwiches rival my beloved Cardona’s and those back in NYC. I was skeptical reading such rave reviews, but they were dead […]
Top Picks: Tanioka’s Seafoods: (Poke, Cheap Eats, Lunch [or early dinner], Takeout, Leeward) Our favorite meal of the entire trip was here; we visited this spot twice and both times were fantastic. This small local joint is situated in a strip mall next to a 7-11, off of a main parkway. […]
I feel like I have to soak up all these warm days, because I’m not sure which one is going to be the last. I had a lovely sunset picnic at the Riverfront Park in Rennsalear. It’s right over the Dunn Memorial bridge by the Amtrak station, you may have […]
