Italy: A Dream Come True
Italy has been a dream trip for me since I first learned about Pompeii in grade school. I honestly didn’t think that I would ever be able to afford a trip there. Then, one of my aunts introduced me to this tour company, Go Ahead Tours. This tour company allows you to sign up for…
The Fine Art of Calligraphy … and Fine Dining
Fine Writing Calligraphy is a fine art. Some of the most visually appealing and visually stunning text utilizes the art of calligraphy. Many years ago, I bought my first calligraphy pen. I never once used it for its intended purpose and eventually, I tossed it because I hadn’t used it in years. Fast forward at…
Hidden Treasure: Brooklyn Navy Yard
The Brooklyn Navy Yard, nestled on the waterfront between the Williamsburg and Manhattan Bridges, is one of the most interesting places to visit in New York.

New York City: A Bridge, A Memorial, A Meal

Yummy, Yummy, Yummy I Have Love in my Tummy
The second stop on my Restaurant Week Summer 2014 tour was Tom Colicchio’s Craftbar in the Flatiron district in New York City.

For this little foodie piggy, New York Restaurant week is this twice a year a magical event that could be equated with the choice Indiana Jones had to make once he found the location the holy grail; you must choose wisely. When I was first introduced to restaurant week in 2012, I went crazy. Within a…
