In the past, Upstater.com was a real estate hub geared toward New Yorkers who were looking for weekend homes or relocation upstate, mostly in the Hudson Valley. It was (and still is) a great resource for people–it's short and often witty real estate listings got right to the point, and even ran a ...

On our last roadtrip from Dallas to Austin, Denny and I explored both cities and their outskirts over a six day jaunt. During those six days, we stayed in four different Airbnbs, swam in a natural spring, caught some bands, sampled local craft beers, and ate way too many tacos. We also met another travel ...

Bell’s Christmas Trees: A Holiday Tradition

Before we started venturing beyond New York City every weekend, for a long time Denny and I's Christmas tree tradition was something that held little joy, because as much as we–okay, I–love putting it up, decorating it, and enjoying it for a month, there was no getting around a 30 minute walk in the ...

Roadtrip from Dallas to Austin, TX

Denny and I were a little stumped after a wedding invitation to Dallas landed in our mailbox. The only associations we had with it were thanks to the television show, their football team, and the Dallas BBQ in the East Village in New York City. Admittedly, Dallas isn't high on many people's bucket lists–but ...

During the past couple years, we can't help but notice the major shift in popular culture looking again toward the great outdoors. Americans, desperate to get away from their computers and desktops, are returning to mother nature for inspiration. Popular Instagrammers with nature-heavy accounts have followers in the hundreds of millions; there's a never-ending steam of apps and websites dedicated to the ...

What We’re Packing: Hot Times, Summer in the City

By |2021-05-06T07:38:38+00:00July 20th, 2015||

Denny and I spend a good amount of time on the road, often packing our bags a half hour before we leave (and not unpacking them again until a half hour before the next trip.) And thanks to Denny's attempt to be over-organized, we have two or three of everything–you should see our phone charger ...
