Last weekend I fell in love with Montauk…though part of that was probably because, while there, I was surrounded by love as we celebrated Shawn and Kathleen’s wedding. We spent both nights after the wedding festivities at The Sloppy Tuna. It’s arguably Montauk’s most popular bar and I can see why. All of Montauk has…

Yesterday I told you I preferred The Clam Bar to the other seafood place across from my Montauk hotel. But that doesn’t mean the other spot was bad. Cyril’s Fish House is definitely worth a visit, if for no other reason than to see Cyril himself, always situated at his corner table with his flowing…

I’m gonna say it: I am obsessed with The Hamptons. Ugh how bougie of me. But the area is just too cute for me to function and Montauk, in particular, is relaxed and beautiful. It is the perfect area to enjoy the food of the season: lobster rolls. Lucky for us there were two seafood…

I came of age in France so I am drawn to a coming of age novel set in the country. Isabel is an American from California that I would categorize as flighty. She has dropped out of film school and has moved to France to help her pregnant sister, Roxy, prepare for the arrival of her…

I’m off to another wedding tomorrow morning, but this week’s “3 on Thursday” is all about the wedding weekend I just came from. With all the weddings I have, it’s become very tough for me to make it down to Atlanta, where so many of my college/home friends live. If I’m going to go to…

When Third and Long closed abruptly, I mourned the loss of a pub that was a great place to watch Rangers games. The space stayed empty for months until, finally, signs of life began to reappear. When Ted’s Corner Tavern emerged, it was entirely different from its predecessor. It was nicer, with a marble topped…

Learning a new language is a common bucket list item, but I feel people usually limit themselves to learning the romance languages like French, Italian, or Spanish, often based on places they’d like to visit. Few people realize sign lanugage is an ACTUAL language that must be learned just like any other. I have always…

I have this weird thing where I only allow myself to wear jeans on Fridays, even though I work in a casual office. Turns out, I may be onto something. People who dress up feel more powerful – a trait that’s beneficial in the workplace. Last weekend, I received a text from my boyfriend telling…

Like any good Lowcountry gal, I love my pimento cheese, particularly on a sandwich made with white bread. Sigh. That takes me back. But last week when I made a batch, I wanted to try something a little different. In a very simple recipe that is perfectly adorable for snacking, I stuffed halved mini bell…
