On a recent ladies’ weekend in Miami, I had the good fortune of dining at the hotspot du jour, Sunny’s. My friends are planners and managed to snag a reservation the moment they were available. Given that it was raining sideways, we had the extra good fortune of a corner booth inside, next to Robin…

Beware the Bar Termini
Every chef I’ve ever seen interviewed claimed that one of the top bars in London is Bar Termini for Negronis. I was super surprised they weren’t hand crafted but were poured from a premixed bottle- flashback to my Bacardi days. The drinks were nice but I don’t think worth the price of admission. It was…
Schiaparelli at the V&A
The V&A absolutely slays fashion exhibits and the Schiaparelli one was no different. A veritable display of art meets fashion, I couldn’t help but read every word and snap pic after pic. While some of the creations are more than haute couture, veering more toward art installation on the human form canvas, others are classic…
Hidden Gem in Margate- Bottega Caruso & Wine Bar
My sweet husband surprised me with a night on the coast on a drive back to mainland Europe this summer and brought me to tears finding a local restaurant in my family name. Both a wine shop, billed “deli,” I was expecting a charcuterie board to tide us over, but a glass of lovely dry…
Korean
One unseasonably chilly evening, The Husband took me for a surprise dinner that turned out to be Choi’s in the List neighborhood. Low key, buzzy, with a line out the door, you knew it would be good before even sitting down. We started with a seafood pancake- me- and some Korean fried chicken in two…
Honest Review: TRS Ibiza’s All-Inclusive Experience
The boho chic, TRS Ibiza, was a festive blend of party pool and reading pool. The food felt the same, a real range of deliciousness. The hotel hosts a buffet restaurant which was delightful for breakfast options, rather rammed and sad at lunch, and with some stepped up options at dinner, but just a little…
Surprise Ibiza Getaway: A TRS Hotel Experience
The Husband walked in one day and asked me if I could take a few specific days off of work for a surprise. Luckily, my boss obliged and granted me the leave, so I could head to Ibiza (surprise!) for a last minute getaway. It was long over due to try out our new airport,…
Is the P&O Ferry Lounge Worth the Fee?
Since our new airport, Hannover, offers far fewer flights to London than Geneva, we are now driving (ugh) to the UK to see the kiddies. We’d splashed out and taken the train which was easy with a plentiful lounge, although after reading recent reviews, we may have just gotten lucky. This trip, we opted to…
Dining at L’eclusier: A Culinary Stop in Gravelines
On our way to cross the channel, we found a crash pad in Gravelines and enjoyed a French dinner to break up the long journey. Situated, just a twenty minute walk from Petit-Fort-Philippe, a stone’s throw from Calais, a lovely meander will lead you to a simplistic looking house that is L’eclusier. A large terrace…

Discover Hannover’s History via ‘The Red Thread’
Learning our new city has been a fun adventure and making a point to do the touristy things when time permits, we recently toured the town via “The Red Thread,” a literal red line that meanders throughout 36 sites in the city center, taking inspiration from Boston’s Freedom Trail. The first stop is conveniently outside…
