I spent this past weekend in Philadelphia and I decided to engage in the age old South Philly argument of which place has better cheesesteaks, Genos or Pats. I have been to Philly several times before and have in fact made runs from college in DC all the way to Philly just to have an […]
Vegas Baby!
Today is once again that day where I will be heading out to Las Vegas for the weekend. This time it’s for my friend Adam’s bachelor party and it should be a fun weekend, especially with the NCAA Tourney going on this weekend as well. I am sure there will be no sleep but hopefully […]
The Democratic Political Process?
I usually don’t write about politics and I am not going to try to push my political views upon anyone here but I am just so baffled, confused and annoyed about this years Democratic political primary process that my head is spinning and it seems to me that nobody has any clue what’s happening either. […]
Planning a Trip to the US
I get a lot of emails from people who live in Europe and other places about how they should structure their trip to the United States. Obviously, the US is a huge country with a lot to see and do and the distances between places can be vast. There is a lot of planning that […]

I visit Los Angeles very often, at least 2 or 3 times a year and each time I leave to come back home to cold New York, I wonder why I don’t live there. Obviously there are many negatives, mainly the traffic, but I love the restaurants, the laid back vibe with the healthy outdoorsy […]
Problemos en la Riviera Maya
The Mexican Riviera or the Riviera Maya, as it is known in Mexico, is full of great beaches and Mayan ruins. In July 2003, my friend Jake and I were spending a week in Playa Del Carmen, which is about an hour south of Cancun and where you catch the ferry to Cozumel. In my […]
Downtown Cabo San Lucas
Downtown Cabo San Lucas is pretty much what you’d expect from a central area in a Mexican resort town. The only real difference between Cabo and some of the other Mexican tourist towns I’ve been to is that Cabo has a nice harbor in the downtown area that contributes a little something to the appeal. […]
The One & Only Palmilla
The Palmilla in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico is the way all hotels should strive to be, it has unmatched beauty and is one of a handful of properties around the world from the One & Only group. With the focus on impeccable service and the amazing upkeep of the property, you almost don’t mind the […]
New York State of Mind
I was having a conversation the other day about how people are ruder and nicer in certain parts of the States. I was asked where I thought the rudest people were in America. Without even thinking about it I replied, New York. I have lived in New York City for seven years now so I […]
