The many brands of Starwood Hotels (now part of Marriott) range from budget to luxury and I tend to stay mid-range hotels (Westin, Sheraton, W) when I travel. As I needed to reposition myself to New York for an award ticket on British Airways from JFK, I figured why not stay overnight, go to a …

I had one day in New York to explore before my 10 pm flight to London but what to do and where to go from morning to night without a hotel room to come back to? Maybe a Brooklyn Walking Tour? Despite my many visits to New York City over the years, there are a …

To be honest, I didn’t know much about Hamilton on Broadway other than “it’s the hottest (and hardest) ticket to get” and something about the revolving list of actors playing the King. I didn’t listen to the soundtrack, didn’t have the t-shirt or lament on Facebook about never winning the line lottery. All I did …

New York City has a dizzying array of food options and yet, I always find myself in Midtown Manhattan in search of food – solo. While in the past, I’ve ventured to Chelsea for Eataly, the frigid weather kept me within a few blocks of the Refinery Hotel in the Garment District and the Broadway …

My “travel hacking” hobby as some call it, has definitely provided me with unbelievable memories from trips around the world. One of the best parts of this “hobby” is sharing the travels with my family. Two years ago, my then eleven year old niece, traveled on her first trip to Paris & London (business class) …
