We started our second day in Rome pretty early despite having snoozed our alarms on both of our phones several times. We were all excited and ready for an early visit to the Vatican Museum/Sistine Chapel, which I noted from…
The Amalfi coast has been a dream destination of mine since we made a list of possible things to do on our honeymoon a few years ago. To get there, we needed to fly either to Rome or Naples, and…
Over the weekend I invited my friends Katie and Jack for a walk on one of the hottest days I’ve ever decided to do a walk on. I was going to meet them at Brooklyn Bridge Park by the carousel,…

Yours truly recently moved to Stamford, Connecticut, in a fit of rage over the fact that the 7 train has basically not been crossing to Manhattan every weekend for an entire year. At least, that’s what it felt like. And…
