A few weeks ago, some photographer friends and I rented a car and went in search of spring blossoms and fresh green leaves. Instead, we were enchanted by the wonderful ‘Sleeping Giant’. After a quick stopover in Westport for brunch, Sleeping Giant, with its riverside location and bemusing ruins, was quite a lovely ...
During February of 2014, Denny and I embarked on our first-ever Southwest adventure. He grew up in Phoenix, so we went out to meet his folks and do a mini-roadtrip. It was amazing. This year, we wanted to explore the west again but in a slightly different setting–and ended up deciding on West Texas and New Mexico. The scenery was absolutely ...
Some four miles from the nearest (tiny) town, The Mitchel House is in Halcott Center, just under the three hour mark from NYC. From the outside, you might not guess it, but this beautiful four-bedroom is utterly unique, filled to the brim with antiques. It's also centrally located in the Catskill Mountains, far enough away from ...
It may not feel like it, or look like it, but it's officially spring! Congratulations, everyone, we made it! We survived another winter and got through the last snowstorm (fingers crossed) of the season. Pretty soon we won't need our jackets anymore, tulips will be blooming, and this snowy, long winter will be a fond ...
Delaware was the last place we ever expected to vacation. It’s not that it seemed uncool, or too far–it’s just that it was completely off our map. As the famous scene in Wayne’s World so eloquently depicts it, most people have no idea what to think about Delaware. I don’t want to bullshit anyone, so I’ll ...
Whenever our travels take us up Route 17 we always make a detour into Roscoe to stock up on vodka and gin at Prohibition Distillery. Housed in an old firehouse and using the bootleggers of prohibition as their inspiration, these craft distillers proudly use New York State corn to produce naturally gluten free spirits. Let's ...
Modern design meets rustic chic at this 20 room motel that’s been totally renovated by a team of designers based in NYC.

New Yorkers are on "historical blizzard" notice until Wednesday. I just got home from our office closing early–it's ugly out there. There are lines around the Trader Joe's in Cobble Hill and I witnessed a fight break out at the Key Foods in my neighborhood. But I can't help but be really ...
Thank god it's Friday. Don't get us wrong, we've had a great week–we mapped out travel plans for next two months, met with some incredibly talented creatives, and we landed on Fathom's 24 Best Travel Blogs and Websites of 2015. But we're ready for the long weekend. To celebrate, we thought we'd announce our grammin' getaway giveaway! Here's the ...
Just two hours north of NYC, the Catskills are the perfect easy getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. (And if you follow our Instagram, you already know that this is our go-to escape.) Denny and I "discovered" it just three years ago; a friend recommended a trip upstate to celebrate our ...
