You’d better visit Eos now because once word spreads about the great food you’ll need a reservation. Eos is the new Mediterranean-inspired restaurant from Chef Michael Psilakis (whose New York City restaurant Anthos is one of only two Greek restaurants in the world with a Michelin star), and restaurateur Donatella Arpaia. It’s located on the […]

A Conch Tour of the Florida Keys
I love spending a weekend in the Florida Keys. It’s a quick drive from South Florida but it feels so much farther away. As soon as I turn onto the Overseas Highway and can see sparkling blue-green water on both sides, I immediately feel happy and relaxed. Of course no visit to the Conch Republic […]
Wine and a Performance at Aureole
For a unique wine experience in Las Vegas dine at Aureole, where you get dinner and a show. At the heart of the restaurant is a four-story, temperature controlled wine tower. Bottles are retrieved by “flying wine angels,” women clad in black spandex who soar up and down the tower using an elaborate pulley system. […]
Champagne Brunch Buffet at the Wynn
You can’t visit Las Vegas without checking out at least one buffet. My pick: the weekend Champagne brunch buffet at the Wynn. For me, buffets can be dangerous — no matter what I tell myself beforehand I always eat way too much and leave uncomfortably full. I never seem to learn that my eyes are […]
Deering Seafood Festival
If there’s a food festival going on, I’m there! Yesterday I had the chance to check out the 5th Annual Deering Seafood Festival on the Bay at the Deering Estate at Cutler. It was my first time at both the seafood festival and the Deering Estate and I had a great time. Grey skies and […]

Dining at the Fontainebleau: Scarpetta
Scarpetta is Fontainebleau’s Italian restaurant, located in the lobby level of Sorrento. It’s by Scott Conant who recently opened a restaurant of the same name in New York City. Peering in through the entrance, the restaurant gives off a very hip nautical vibe. The color scheme is a soothing light blue, gray and light brown. […]

Pearl Oyster Bar’s Lobster Roll
After hearing about my love of lobster rolls, a friend said I had to try the one at Pearl Oyster Bar in Manhattan’s West Village. Earlier this week I took the subway down to West 4th Street to try one for myself. During my senior year of high school and in college, the West Village […]
