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 Smallest House, Oude Hoogstraat 22, Amsterdam Tea in the smallest house in Amsterdam? Yes please. We walked in to the skinny building, 6ft 7in wide and 16ft 4in deep, the smallest self-contained house in the city built in 1738. Inside is only mildly claustrophobic, but so worth visiting. The […]
Tea is comfort on a cold night and icy revitalization on a hot day. It’s a way catch up with friends or have a moment of quiet meditation. I love tea, it’s a part of my every day life. A trip to Charleston, South Carolina taught me something about tea […]
There are so many fusion joints popping up, a testament to our globalized melting pot culture. These restaurants are great for those nights when you just don’t know what you want to eat – because you can have a variety of things! Crazy Bowlz [301 Frank Sottile Blvd, Kingston, NY […]
I was smitten from the moment we walked into this old school Japanese eatery. Many Japanese people immigrated to Hawaii and brought their wonderful culture with them, fusing it with Hawaiian traditions, making a unique blend. Dining at Teshima’s [79-7251 Mamalahoa Hwy Kealakekua, Hawaii 96750] is a fantastic testament to […]
Volcano red, macadamia nut honey, and Hawaiian guava grape. With names like those, who wouldn’t want to taste some fruity wine while in paradise? The vibe at Volcano Winery [35 Piimauna Dr, Volcano, HI 96785 10-530] is classy, yet laid back, the true essence of Hawaii. I love the intensity […]
A café with a spiritual side, go in for a tea leaf and tarot card reading, or simply for a scrumptious sandwich. The Enchanted Café [7484 S Broadway Red Hook, New York] in Red Hook has got a different vibe. Cozy as life should be in Red Hook, but with […]
Art galleries, artisanal crafts, a place to grab some tea, and a whole lot to see. If you looking to get some gifts for friends or family, or a piece of artwork to take home from your trip, Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village [336 AZ-179, Sedona, AZ 86336] is a […]
I’m really fascinated by Salt Lake City. I was in town for such a short time it was hard to get a grasp on the deeper feel of it all, but I liked what I saw. You can’t drive around the city without noticing the Mormon Headquarters, the state capitol, […]
Dinner here is different. There is one sushi chef so if it’s busy, and it normally is, you’re going to have to wait. It’s worth it though. The place is Yoshi Sushi [Latham Plaza, 640 New Loudon Rd #5, Latham, NY 12110], a hidden gem in plain sight unassumingly nestled […]
Just an hour outside of Albany lays the quaint little Millerton, NY right on the border of Connecticut. Millerton is full of kitsch and well worth a visit, especially if you enjoy tea. Our first stop in the town found us in the Harney and Sons [13 Main St, Millerton, […]
What a wintertime haven! We came in here to warm up after a nearby chilly hike and were so happy that we did. This place is blissful, located right on Warren St (135 Warren Street, Hudson, NY 12534). It is filled with three things that I really adore, especially in […]
Such a yummy dinner here, so close to home! Just on Central Ave in Albany with a great little parking lot to get off the main drag (218 Central Avenue, Albany, NY 12206). This place has been on my list for a long time, and I finally made it out […]
I know there is no shortage of Chinese spots in the Capital Region, some more authentic than others, but sometimes I long for the qualities of the joints I grew up with back home around Westchester. It’s the little things that mean the most when you go to sit down […]
I had the cutest lunch date right in New Rochelle at R Patisserie (302 Huguenot Street, New Rochelle, NY 10801, easy metered street parking nearby). The atmosphere here was superb, comfy chairs, high ceilings, and jazzy music. We scored a cozy little window seat amongst plants across from a stone […]
