I don’t know why I’ve never written about this before – it’s literally one of my favorite places on Earth. Aside from the fact that everywhere looks like a fucking postcard, it’s just amazing food, people, and culture. Some might argue that last part, but whatever, forgive me for thinking […]

SkinnyPig Travels: Gurney’s Newport, Rhode Island
The oppressive heatwave blasting through NYC a couple weeks ago gave me the best excuse to get out of dodge for a bit and say hello to clear blue skies and orange sunsets in Newport. We could not have picked a better weekend to go, and could not have picked […]
#STORIES: Angry Orchard Tour and Private Concert
If I haven’t made this abundantly clear yet, I love Fall. It’s my favorite season. Not because of pumpkin spice, but because of the holidays surrounding it, the food that comes from it, and the crisp in the air that just can’t be beat. I had the pleasure of celebrating […]
SkinnyPigTravels: Foxwoods Resort Casino Bachelorette Party
First off, this was not for MY bachelorette party. That won’t happen until hell freezes over and the flying pigs go ice skating. But I digress. I’m the Maid of Honor in my friend Helen’s wedding in October, so I was in charge of helping plan the bachelorette party. We’ve […]
SkinnyPig Travels: Ocean Beach, Fire Island
There’s a few things you should know about Fire Island before visiting: It’s expensive. It’s kind of a pain to get to. It’s not that fun. Just kidding on the last part. Had to lure you in somehow. I actually really like Fire Island, but you have to be the […]
SkinnyPigTravels: Cayman Islands and Camana Bay
For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you know I spent 5 days in the Cayman Islands a few weeks ago. The trip was amazing, filled with culinary adventures and ample beach hair. The humidity was something else. I went from Dara to Diana Ross the second I […]
Peeling The Onion in Miami: Chef Helene Henderson of Malibu Farm
As we patiently await Spring in NYC, I find myself reminiscing about my trip to Miami for the South Beach Wine & Food Festival a few weeks ago. Maybe it’s the longing for the rooftop pools and ocean breezes, or maybe it’s because I JUST did my laundry from that trip, so it’s […]
Peeling The Onion at SOBEWFF: Jamie Schweid, President of Schweid & Sons
After all these years of attending Burger Bash at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival (and by attending I mean eating my way to an early demise), I had the opportunity to sit down with Jamie Schweid, President of Schweid & Sons, who presented this event with Heineken Light (hosted […]
Behind The Scenes: SOBEWFF
It’s been just a few days since I returned home from the South Beach Wine & Food Festival. Cozy in my Brooklyn apartment, I stretch out on my couch and go through the ol’ camera… Every year I have the same slight tinge of sadness when I leave Miami. Maybe […]
SkinnyPigTravels with: Foxwoods Resort Casino & Guy Fieri
Have you ever seen a more clickbait headline? Nope, me neither. It’s true(ish) though. I visited Foxwoods Resort Casino a couple weekends ago for a little mother-daughter trip, and despite losing my mom to the slot machines, it was a great time and we ate at Guy Fieri’s Foxwoods Kitchen […]
