The Location… The Betsy hotel rooftop was a phenomenal location for this event. Located in the heart of South Beach, the Betsy Hotel exhibits a Georgian architecture style which truly exhibits a very comforting late 1940’s Frank Sinatra vibe. Its ocean views and glaring moon made this an exceptional feel for a Cigar smoking, bourbon …

I love this time of year for a multitude of reasons: the cooler weather, Art Basel is soon approaching, and other wonderful events begin popping up, making Miami a more electric city. This Saturday, November 15th, is the culinary spectacular: the LUCKYRICE Festival’s 5th Anniversary Celebration. It is being presented by …
In my mind, Etta James’ At Last is playing and I seem to be gliding through a field of daisies…where am I? At Trader Joe’s. What is it if you haven’t ventured through its doors? A grocery store chain from the West coast that finally brought one store here to South Florida a little over a year ago. …
The 90’s: we had the end of the Cold War, Hurricane Andrew, Microsoft Windows, Anita Hill vs. Clarence Thomas & his Coke can, let’s not forget the O.J. Simpson trial, the Spice Girls, Nirvana, Harry Potter, Millennium parties and the reason I’m writing this…Pulp Fiction. I wasn’t sure how to start this blog, considering that …
Savory smells beckon you along Ponce de Leon Boulevard, and there you are standing before Swine. The interior is a combination of brick and wood, the lighting is perfect, and the ambiance is ideal for a romantic dinner or a group of friends catching up over dinner; the latter was my scenario.

This Groupon adventure begins with the fact that I desperately needed a manicure and pedicure after weeks of hiding my toes in ballerina flats. I had just returned from NYC where you can get a mani/pedi for $15-20, and I stumbled upon a promotion by …
Okay, so it’s NYC and there’s tons of things to see, places to eat, etc. Here’s what I did, broken down into places I ate at, hotels I stayed at, museums I visited, places I visited, and my preferred means of transportation. So here goes: Ate at: First things first, it’s Restaurant Week through August …
On our second day, the first place we headed to was the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, which has been at the center of a lot of controversy. It’s an emotional experience as you would anticipate. When you first step onto the plaza, you will probably be facing one of the two enormous reflecting pools where the …
I’m going to have to break this up because it’s NYC and therefore, amazing. I’ll get right to it after I complain about the taxi driver that ripped me off (you know who you are cab #8N21 that picked up unsuspecting victims from LGA around 9 a.m.!)…I know – I have Waze (great app) and you took …
I admit: I have a flair for the dramatics. I’m a little hyperbolic according to my mother, and I tend to overreact…you know, sometimes. With my studies, I was/am overly critical of myself. An A- feels like an F. Etc. So, imagine how I get with family. When my kid was a few weeks old …
