Let’s talk about brunch. Specifically, brunch at Essex, right here in New York City, which is arguably the capital of the weekend tradition.
I had never heard of Essex until I got a text from a friend inviting me out to brunch here. Located on the Lower East Side, it’s a bit out of my usual realm of things — I live in Midtown, and while I love the food scene in the LES, I’m by no means an expert on things below the East Village.…

Normally I’m right in the heart of things, but every now and again, I can’t find a place that’s up to my standards, so I venture out just a bit further than I might prefer, in order to find a place that delivers what I’m looking for. The more I travel, the more my flexibility wanes on certain things.…

Last year I was in Paris for Fashion Week right at the beginning of July. Which is about the most expensive time of the year in terms of hotels and accommodations. Not only is selection sparse, but prices skyrocket, meaning it’s about near impossible to find anything worthwhile.
I hopped onto Booking.com and was lucky enough to score a week at Hotel Mayfair, located right between Place Concorde and Place Vendôme.…

Paul is sort of everywhere in Paris, and I’m pretty ok with that. This is one of my go-to places when I’m in the City of Lights because it’s inexpensive, reliably delicious, and I know what I’m signing up for. No hidden menu tricks here. You can stop by for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and there’s going to be something perfect.…

People tend to think my job is pretty glamorous. I’m a videographer/producer and do a lot with fashion, travel, and lifestyle, so I get to travel around and have access to some pretty fun things. Lots of models, lots of backstage catering, and there’s probably more gloss to my normal everyday than I realize.…

I recently went to Alder in New York City, which I can best describe as an approachably experimental restaurant, with a touch of German flair. Sometimes it’s a good thing to venture out from the usual routine, and I feel like I’ve sort of settled comfortably into a rut of Italian/French/Mexican food.…

La Cava, in New York’s Midtown East neighborhood, may just be one of the best kept secrets of the area. A jewelbox of a tapas bar, La Cava offers a welcome change of pace from the usual pubs and chains in the area.
This is the go to place for me when I have a business meeting, or want to get a glass of wine and a bit of charcuterie.…
