There’s so much to do in NYC! My favorite things to do in the city are: (1) to eat (see below for my foodie guide), (2) go to a broadway show (the TKTS stand has great discounted tickets – and I personally pick the shows I want to see based on the cast), and (3) walk around and explore the different neighborhoods! Each neighborhood has its own charm – I particularly love Chelsea (you can walk the highline and get something to eat at Chelsea Market), Nolita/Soho/Little Italy (which are all in walking distance of each other), and there’s nothing like walking around central park (with a stop at the Plaza Hotel or Columbus circle). It’s touristy, but I love 30 Rock (get something from Magnolia bakery while you’re there), and if you’ve never done the tour it’s fun to see the SNL set and hear from a real NBC page! Obviously, Columbia has a beautiful campus but unless you’re venturing uptown there isn’t that much else to do there. Brooklyn is its own magical world (and each neighborhood there is different too - Brooklyn Heights is bougie and beautiful, Williamsburg is hipster AF, and generally the pizza is the best in Brooklyn). But my favorite part about living in NYC was that chances are if you see a cool pop up or random event happening on instagram/social media, it’s happening in New York and you can be a part of it! Eater and Thrillist are two places that share these types of events.

Where I’ve stomped, wandered, and played. My real-life adventures and favorite haunts.

The last time I was in Galena, I went on a couples' getaway with my hubby. It was so fun to stay at a hotel, get up and have breakfast together, then we went on a tour of President Ulysses Grant's home. We went back to our hotel and sat in the whirlpool, then went on a ghost tour. The ghost tour is a great way to see alot of the historical buildings! We went in one mansion that was over 100 years old and it was priceless to see the architecture and original furniture.

All my absolute essential liquids when traveling! I used to travel for work 80% of the time - that meant at least 2-3 days A WEEK. I had my packing routine down pat and I still pack like this today.
