A Very Brady Saturday
I spent last Saturday with the Brady Bunch, thanks to Wizard World. Actually, it was half of the Brady Bunch, but it was a fun, nostalgic trip with one of television's most popular families.
Crossing Vineyards & Winery
A couple weeks ago I went to a local wine and cheese pairing with my brother and two cousins. My aunt gifted me and my brother with the wine tasting for our birthdays, and our cousins just tagged along for fun!
Back at Northwestern
With temperatures in the 30s, the Northwestern Wildcats took the field for their season opener Saturday night. There were no fans in the stands of Ryan Field and no tailgating outside, but Purple Nation was happy to have football back.
Beach Town
Two weeks ago we wrapped the November issue of Global Traveler magazine, our North America issue, and in two more weeks it will be in your hands. We cover everything from Caribbean islands to family-friendly ski resorts and cities from Toronto to Nashville. My colleague and senior editor Jan Hecht wrote a great article about America's undiscovered beaches . . . a favorite topic of mine. My recent blogs have shared a recent family trip to the Oregon Coast, which features plenty of lovely, quiet beaches and cute little towns along its 363 miles of shoreline.
Touring River House at Odette’s
As a Bucks County native, I’ve always known of the legacy of Chez Odette’s, later named Odette’s Restaurant, situated on the banks of the Delaware River in New Hope, Pennsylvania. While the original, historic structure that housed first an inn and then the restaurant was relocated to preserve its legacy after the restaurant was shuttered earlier this century, the recently opened, newly built River House at Odette’s, a hotel and restaurant, sits in the original location and pays homage to its namesake, Odette Myrtil.
Almost Not Entering Canada
While reading an article on travel horror stories, I started to think of my own bad experiences. Since this is Throwback Thursday, I throw it back to 2002, when my friends and I had a memorable trip.
Oasis Island of Terror, New Jersey – The Woods Have Eyes Trail
In my last blog, I mentioned my plans to take my little brother and cousin to a Harvest Festival in New York City this past weekend, but things turned out differently.
Pizza Debates
On the series premiere of Emily in Paris on Netflix, the characters discuss Chicago pizza. One describes it as “quiche made of cement,” to which another responds, “Oh, no, you must have gone to Lou Malnati's.” That little exchange reignited long-running pizza debates.
Fall Weekend Getaway
Last weekend I took a much needed getaway to the Jersey Shore. As I’ve mentioned in previous blogs, I love going to Ocean City, N.J., any chance I get. I left on a Friday morning and got there around 12 p.m., with plenty of time to still sit and enjoy the beach.
