After departing the Cape, we drove north along the shore of Massachusetts and hit the city of Plymouth. Yes, the Pilgrims official landing spot. The city is actually really cool and has a good beach-town vibe, but let’s face it, we were there to see the Rock. After parking our subcompact rental, we set out [...]
Last weekend was a getaway weekend for Audrey and I. She’s a few weeks into her new job and I was a few minutes from complete insanity, so we jumped on the chance to see my old Gateway boss and great friend, Chris Caravello while he was up in Boston visiting family.

Last Monday was the final night of the Bryant Park Summer Film Festival, which also happened to be the first night Audrey and I happened to make it out to the event. What drew us? 1976’s Superman!!

I haven’t been a religious watcher of the Olympics for many years now, but I did want to catch the opening ceremonies on Friday night. Strangely enough, one thing led to another and I happened to be in a bar at the 8pm start. Fortunately, the bar had several flat screen TVs, all tuned to [...]
Few things in New York are as constant as Mr. Softee’s horrifying face adorning the sides of countless white ice cream trucks through all five boroughs. Outside of Manhattan, $2 will land you the best, fat-filled, soft serve ice cream to ever tickle your taste buds. Mr. Softee’s human representatives will even dip your cone [...]
