What It’s Actually Like Out There — Traveling During COVID

Should we have been traveling during COVID? It’s a question I attempt to answer on Fodor’s Travel this week. My wife and I recently traveled to the Dominican Republic, to the Hard Rock Punta Cana, and lived to tell the tale. Here’s why we went even though she’s immuno-compromised, what […]

48 Hours in Galveston, Texas’ Curious Tropical Island

Is there a Bubba Gump shrimp in Galveston, Texas? You betcha there is. A Joe’s Crab Shack too. This slender strip of land is a beachfront tourist hub after all, and it shows, in parts, but there’s more than mile upon mile of sandy gulf coast shoreline and the requisite […]

Leesa

She doted on me at my half-filled two top, making me feel like the celebrity my Gaylord keycard lied and said I was. Leesa made sure I stayed hydrated while in her care, on account of the altitude and my not being an acclimatized native. A mile high, forever grounded. […]

Why I’m Returning to: Cheyenne Wyoming

I’ve been to the western side of Wyoming. It’s stunning. Many know this, for that’s where Yellowstone and Jackson Hole and The Grand Tetons lie. In August of 2019, I had the chance to spend a few sunny summer days and cool crisp nights on the eastern edge of the […]

There’s room for you in Nebraska

You’ve flown over Nebraska without giving much thought to the 37th state 37,000 miles below. I get it, you were probing around the bottom of your tiny bag of pretzels in search of loose salt as the forgettable movie played on the seat back in front of you. Maybe you’ve […]

The Best Sunday Brunch in Houston Heights

The tomatoes are bite-sized and tossed in a housemade pesto vinaigrette, the asparagus has been roasted to fork-knifing perfection, the air inside the 70-seater restaurant in Houston Heights was being moved by Ingrid Michaelson, HAIM, and Vampire Weekend, the dominate art feature (each Postino location has one as a calling […]
