Read MoreWell yes, almost a full year into a global pandemic, this holiday season is going to be very different. This year, there will be less socializing, less pictures with Santa, less in person activities, and probably, more presents for your loved ones to make up for all the rest.

Read MoreI love good food. I have two kids. Although it’s not always easy, I take those two kids out to restaurants A LOT. And, believe it or not, after years of dining out, they actually LOVE going to restaurants; and they are slowly getting better at sitting in their chairs for an entire meal.
There are so many food blogs out there. But none really focus on family friendly dining - particularly the kind of family friendly dining that doesn’t in any way resemble Chuck E. Cheese.
So here now is a running list of my suggestions, separated by geography, on where to Feed Your Kids. No, these spots are not like the cafe inside your local day care - these are legit restaurants that cater to adults. But I have done each of these with our kids, and I know you can and SHOULD, too!
I will continually update these lists - so check back often! AND ENJOY!

Read MoreYup. Memorial Day weekend 2020 seems to be mostly cancelled. No jetting off to crowded beaches. No outdoor concerts. No town pools and pool clubs. This Memorial Day weekend, it’s all about day drinking at home with your kids splashing nearby in an inflatable pool that you were overcharged for on Amazon.
But at least there’s one awesome warm weather activity that’s still mostly intact for this Memorial Day weekend: Eating Summery Foods.
Here are five places, all presently open for curbside pick up, that will at least make your mouth feel like it’s celebrating the start of summer.

Read MoreI was very slow to learn about the major revitalization of a 1947 movie theater happening just 20 minutes from my house in Bedford, NY. Back in Spring 2017, a revamp to the tune of over $8 million began to transform the former movie theater into what is today a beautiful cultural hub called the Bedford Playhouse.
Now that I’ve finally visited, I am hooked on the Bedford Playhouse. There is a lot to love about this place.
Read MoreI’m a mom. I’m a corporate lawyer. I really like to explore, eat and travel and I also like to plan where I’m going to eat, where I’m going to explore and where I’m going to travel. I hate the gym but also hate sitting still. I love NYC and try to get there often. My kids see me on my phone a lot looking at pictures of food, pop ups and dogs.
I started this blog because I was sending too many one-off emails to friends with suggestions on what to do and where to go. My posts are not intended to be full fledged reviews, but rather quick glimpses of what I've been up to. Hopefully posts will inspire you to check out some of those same things.
