With the 4th of July behind us, summer's now in full force, and we literally cannot stop traveling! What can we say?–we have the itch. Since we're having so much fun, we thought we'd put together another Escape Brooklyn Getaway Giveaway, this time to Woodstock, New York. The Escape Brooklyn Summer Getaway Giveaway includes: • Two night ...
My other half (and adventuring partner) Darren and I live in Pennsylvania and New Jersey (respectively.) We'd been meaning to head up to Watkins Glen, New York ever since we found some old photos in an antique shop showing some long-gone tourist's photos of the gorge. This past May, as spring was springing, ...
Historically, Fort Orange was a 17th Century trading post on the banks of the Hudson River, which would later become the site of the City of Albany. Friends Caroline Corrigan and Katy Smith, met in an Albany college ten years ago, fell in love with their adopted town, and decided to stay. ...
Escape Brooklyn Summer Camp 2015: we came, we camped, we fished, we tubed, and man did we get rained on. But we didn't let that get us own–we had an incredible time with the fourteen brave souls who did make it out. A picture is worth a thousand words, so we thought ...
Memorial Day weekend is fast-approaching and we couldn't be more excited to start our summer residency at Phoenicia Flea! Though we're kicking off at last year's permanent location, The Graham & Co., this year will be a traveling market featuring multiple fun and scenic destinations. The Phoenicia Flea is comprised of a well-curated group of ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
