Rarely do I go to Baltimore. Not because there aren’t things to do there. In fact, Baltimore’s grown to be quite the quick getaway destination for Washingtonians. No, no, the problem for me is that having so many cocktails that I lose my purse in the trash, then...

We love getting away to nearby Annapolis during the warmer months. This quaint little town by the water is small but packs a lot of charm. There aren’t as many options compared to DC, but there are highlights not to be missed. Be sure to take a loop on the free...

Middleburg with its rolling hills and equestrian training centers offers more than five-star hotels, although we are partial to all three. With at least a dozen wineries in the surrounding county, each is one of the over 260 wineries and vineyards present around the...

by Alison Magistrali It’s 7:00 pm. You just finished a grueling day of work, battled terrible weather on your commute home, and now you’re hungry —it’s a feeling we’re all familiar with. I don’t want to eat out… I just want a home cooked meal! Is that too hard to ask...

After an incredibly first night during the #DoAC Fall Getaway last weekend, there was nothing more that I wanted to do but get some zzz’s! While Atlantic City has a host of fun nightlife options, all that good eating and laughing really wore me out. And after a great...

Only having been to Atlantic City once, I was sadly under the impression that the city was little more than a bunch of casinos, clubs, and a beaten up post-Sandy economy. Unbeknownst to me was that Atlantic City is much, much more. A lovely city full of lively people,...

by Emma Lord This summer I lived boldly and decided that after my month-long internship in Seattle, I was going to hop down the coast and spend a week traveling alone in the beautiful city of San Francisco. And my heart was stolen. Or, more accurately, my stomach. I...

Some argue that Philadelphia sucks. I strenuously object. I love its outdoor murals, funky South Street shops, art in the park, liberal BYOB policy and people who go out of their way to be kind (raging Eagles fans excluded). More thrillingly, I love that Philly’s...
