After a night of camping midway between Quebec City and Montreal, we hit the road with our sights set on our room at the W in Montreal. We were ready to see what the city had to offer, but didn’t really know what to expect, despite having a Frommer’s. Basically we wanted to do some [...]
After about 24 hours of driving/camping/gorging, we made it to our first of two cities to check out: Quebec City. This city is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. Maybe Florence challenges it. The center of the city is elevated and built behind a wall. It’s the only city in North America with [...]
Last month Audrey and I took a much needed vacation. We’ve been trying to go to as many places in and around the northeast as we can and the next on our list was Canada!
I’ve wanted to drive to Montreal and Quebec City since we first moved here. I’d heard so much about Quebec City [...]
I was fortunate to have a chance to go to Texas not once, but twice in the past several weeks. The first trip was to Houston, which was a nice city, but seemed like it was mostly parking structures and freeways. It actually reminded me a lot of Orange County, CA, except lots of accents. [...]
On our last morning, we decided to head to the place with the frozen fountain from the first night which offered a solid cajun brunch buffet! We were pretty wiped out at this point with so much walking, eating and drinking, so we took it fairly easy…
The aforementioned brunch
The fountain was even more a mess. [...]
The morning was rough after the cocktail tour and run in with absinthe. The only cure was to be brunch and a bloody mary it was decided. Off we went to Brennan’s, which I think is famous for inventing Banana’s Foster, but I might not be totally correct on that.
Audrey outside and prepped for a [...]
Definitely one of the highlights of the trip was our Cocktail Tour we went on. This little sassafras of a lady from N.O. named Sandy led our yankee asses around to some of the biggest tourist traps best bars in the city. Actually, they were touristy I guess, but even the tourist traps in N.O. [...]
Last year Audrey and I decided we needed to go to a warm place every winter that we’re on the east coast. Last year it was Aruba, this year I didn’t want to miss a ton of work, so we decided to keep it domestic and chose New Orleans. Neither of us had been and [...]
Audrey and I are lucky to have made some really good friends here in NY. They bring our carless asses around on weekend getaways and show us all the great things in the northeast area. This past weekend they took us wine tasting in the Finger Lakes area of upstate NY. If you know maps, [...]
We’ve been seeing a lot of California commercials out here in NYC over the past few weeks. This begs the question, would you rather go to an Arnold-endorsed California or Brazil?
California
Brazil
This is going to be where the search and other helpful things go. Patience baldies!
