Here’s what to know before you go to Viola’s Room, by Punchdrunk
My whole trip to New York was “artsy.” I had a slate of museum visits already, but Viola’s Room at The Shed provided an additional kiss of culture to fill my creative soul. To say that I saw the exhibit would be inaccurate. This auditory presentation is one that you have to experience. Crouching, slithering,…

And now, the food at the Langham Hotel in New York
When I booked my stay at the Langham Hotel in New York City, I did it through American Express. That gave me daily breakfasts, a credit to be used for dining, and a whole lot of excuses to try the food. Multiple mornings, I started breakfasts in their dining room. On one side of the…

Quick note about the service at the Langham Hotel NYC
Yesterday, I started writing about my experience at the Langham Hotel in New York. You can read about my thoughts on the room (or not, the spoiler is that I was not impressed) but today I’m focused on the other aspects of the hotel. Upon arrival, I was greeted warmly by the front desk staff.…

A sorta room tour at the Langham NYC
After staying at the Langham Hotel in Boston, I got curious about the other properties they had around the world. This summer I made my way to the New York location. I went up to the room, using the key card enabled elevator. The bathroom was stocked with Diptyque products. There was a welcome treat…

Where I’d be
If things were different, I would find myself traveling even more. I’d question the need to even have a permanent address because of how often I’d be on the go. This alternate me would be living the real me’s dream. There are times I sit down in a hotel room and think, “If only this…

Fond memories of Le Jardinier
Two years ago, I found myself in New York City in the fall. It was a work trip, but I decided to make the best of my visit. I decided to eat well, even if I had to eat alone. I wandered down the streets and decided to head into Le Jardinier. To be honest,…

The one destination that is certainly not on my hot list
North Korea, a nation that has long shrouded itself under secrecy has opened up a luxury beach and tourist area. I can tell you right now I have no intention of booking a trip. The Wonsan Kalma Coastal Tourist Area is located on the shorefront, with beach access as well as cultural and “touristy” amenities.…

A new addition to my travel wish list
I was minding my own business online, when an ad popped up: Amanyara. This Aman resort in Turks and Caicos features villas over the crystal blue water. And like all properties in the brand, pure luxury abounds. While I continue to want to visit the Maldives at some point, this location seems to offer a…

A Copenhagen restaurant to try: Vækst
As a foodie, I was well aware of the lore of Noma, the epitome of pretentious high fare dining the Danish capital. (If you watch The Bear, you’ll hear a lot about it there, too.) But elevated dining experiences in the city don’t stop there. Down an unassuming alley is Vækst, yet another Michelin starred…

My first Hyrox and all I got was a lousy patch
Now that I am on the other side of my first Hyrox experience with my finisher patch in hand, I am looking back at Hyrox Atlanta 2025 with event management eyes. I enjoyed my experience challenging myself during the race, but these are the things I noticed as part of the greater event. Crowd Crossings…
