Over Christmas, Justin and I popped over from Philadelphia to New York City for a weekend filled wth art museums, Jewish and Chinese eateries, and other wanderings. Would you believe I’ve never ever been to the Guggenheim before? I finally made a visit thanks to my SFMOMA membership, which includes reciprocal access to the Guggenheim, The Whitney, and…
I love getting to kick off each new year with a little gathering of my friends as I indulge in a bit of a birthday celebration. Last year, we took a pottery class, while the year before, we threw a swanky party in the garden at my studio. This year, I riffed on the crafting theme as…
Vermont was the perfect weekend getaway to kick off the new year. We did intend to go skiing initially, but the poor snow conditions meant we skipped the slopes and stuck to the cozy cottage and all the small-town cheese and maple syrup shops.

The last Saturday of my November New York trip, we headed to Brooklyn for a tour of Mast Brothers Chocolate. You might recognize the graphic, patterned papers that encase Mast Brothers’ chocolate bars. Every single bar comes from this very Brooklyn factory. This is my only photo of the actual “tour” part, as they don’t allow…
I headed toward the freezing cold chill of New York to celebrate Jesse’s birthday back in November. During the week, I made small excursions around his ‘new’ neighborhood in Midtown (my last visit, Jesse was still living downtown). And of course at night and on the weekends, we had plenty of foodie adventures all around Manhattan…
Stephanie and Ian are one of my awesome wedding couples for 2015. And while they’ll be getting married here in California (at the Berkeley City Club), they actually currently live in Washington, D.C., and they used to live in New York City together. So it was just great luck that we were all in New York City…
We walked amidst giants. The trees towered over us, scenting the air with that distinctive redwood smell. We breathed it in, grateful for this salubrious excursion outside the city. It was the perfect Presidents’ Day adventure with three of my friends, all newcomers to San Francisco. We kick it off with some images from the…
We had spent the whole day lounging around on the beach at Half Moon Bay, just down the cliff from the elegant Ritz Carlton. It wasn’t until Jesse asked the concierge for suggestions on what to do next that the tide pools listed on the pamphlet caught my eye. It was already 4:30, and the…
Many thanks go to my friends and to my boyfriend for celebrating my birthday with me. Jesse flew in for a few days, escaping the snow in New York and trading it in for some sunny California adventures instead. Our first meal: Roka Akor, a Japanese robataya house. We got seated at the bar, right…
I spent Christmas Day lounging around at home until it was time to head to the airport. Overnight, I flew cross-country to New York City, and there I arrived, dark and early, at 6am. This was my first time spending the holidays in New York, and with all the crazy snowstorms this year, it was…
