We spent 10 days in Southeast Asia with stops in Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. In between beaches, massages (our preferred method of avoiding rising 90° mid-afternoon heat), elephants and more beaches, I found time to try the food. Here are some highlights:...
The high-energy town of Condado in San Juan, Puerto Rico, may not be what you’d expect–the streets are full of Chinese restaurants, New York-style pizza joints, and American fast food. Ask a local what the deal is and they might reply that Puerto Ricans are just...
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...
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...

My trip to New Orleans sure was a good time. I haven’t had that much fun since Paula Deen hosted cornmeal-buttermilk wrestling at the Playboy Mansion. Louisiana Creole cooking is influenced by a melting pot of cultures–French, Spanish, African, among others–which is...
As a true East Coast girl who had never been to San Francisco before April, I am head-over-heels in love with this city. I haven’t been this smitten since my 6th grade boyfriend asked via email if he could kiss me, with the subject line: URGENT.All mushiness aside, SF...
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...
