I guess Friday was just all about the UK because after Meyers of Keswick we went to dinner at Whitehall. It doesn’t feel overly British, but you will see a good deal of gin on the cocktail menu. They also feature not one but four of my favorite gastropub touches: subway tile on one wall,…

Sometimes I think there’s a place you’ve just got to know about and my Public Service Announcements (PSAs) will give you the full skinny. I keep a little list on my phone of things I want to do. I’m not sure exactly when Myers of Keswick made it onto the list but it’s been sitting there…

Home ownership used to be the American Dream, but now people are really into renting. Unfortunately, the market can’t quite keep up with the demand. This is a whole new kind of housing crisis. Forget the toilet seat liners; looks like nature has made your own skin a good enough barrier to germs. Some people…

When my Mom visits we like to just…walk. We don’t usually make a strict plan ahead of time and we stop whenever we see something interesting, whether that’s a restaurant or boutique.

Food trucks love the area by my office. There are tons of hardworking folks who never bring lunch from home and usually just want to run out and grab something quickly. I don’t usually take advantage to my proximity to all this great food because 1) I try to be good and pack my lunch…

This avocado and egg pita is one of my earlier Pinterest pins. Somehow, however, I never got around to making it which is crazy because it’s easy enough to throw together in the middle of the harried getting-ready-for-work dance. I like to toast or warm my pita a bit first. Then, while the egg fries,…

I obsessed over the Fiske Guide to Colleges when I was in high school. I’m not sure this scorecard can fully replace it (particularly without an input for test scores or GPA), but I like to see the White House taking the steps to encourage all students to go to college and to find the…

Date nights don’t have to be on weekends. On Wednesday Albert asked if I wanted to hang out and even had the idea to grab a quick bite and go to a fun indie flick downtown. It was so different from a typical Wednesday and embodied everything I love about this city. We saw the…
