Newport is quickly becoming one of my favorite places in New England. It's a quick trip from Boston, there's so much to do year-round, and the food scene isn't too bad either. Even though Newport is small in size, finding a larger hotel that's close to Thames Street is key. I love a small bed and breakfast, but sometimes you want the amenities of a resort. Luckily, Gurney’s Newport Resort & Marina made its debut on Goat Island in 2017 and has been a welcome addition to the Newport hotel scene.
It’s impossible to write an evergreen guide to New York City. Every time I visit, I fall in love with another restaurant, shop, or neighborhood. Plus things are constantly changing. I had a rather epic trip to NYC over a long weekend in January 2019, so here are my favorites spots from that visit.
New York City is one of my true loves. Every time I visit I'm inspired and I when I leave I'm excited to create. This past trip was no different. Though I left with a bit of a travel bug that's left me little time to write (like this blog post, for example).My home, while I was in town, was The Chatwal in Midtown. The Luxury Collection's New York City art deco style hotel is the PERFECT respite while you're exploring the city. (It doesn't hurt that they have a house car that will drive you anywhere in a 20-block radius that makes exploring particularly easy.)
I recently visited Quebec City for a few days at the end of December. It was my first time there, and after all my research, I knew I wanted to primarily explore the Old City for its quaint charm. Here are my favorite spots from my trip.
I planned a rather last minute solo trip to Quebec City at the end of 2018. I was really obsessed with going to Quebec City in the winter and had the motivation for one last trip before the new year.
I had this picture in my head: snowy cobblestone streets, eating French Onion soup in a cozy bistro, curling up in a castle for a few days to relax before returning to work. I needed all of that, and the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac was just the place for me to stay during my little getaway to Quebec City.
