Having been at the pinnacle of my “must-visit” destinations for quite some time, it would be an understatement to say that I was excited upon receiving an invitation to review a new restaurant at Seven Stars Resort in Turks & Caicos. The sandy white beaches, those turquoise waters…it’s really stunning […]

SkinnyPig Travels: The Indonesia Beyond Bali
Before I dive in here, let me just say that there will be an entire blog post dedicated to Bali. Sorry, but I’m not going to sit here and pretend that I didn’t love it at the risk of sounding “basic” or “mainstream”. I’ll take all the damn basic and […]
SkinnyPig Travels: Los Angeles, CA Part II
As the week slowly gets away from me, I finally got around to compiling the spots from the last leg of the trip. And I’m just as sad writing about it as I was when I had to actually leave. That said, the majority of this part of the trip […]
SkinnyPig Travels: Los Angeles, CA Part I
Take me back. That’s all I really want to say about this. It’s actually very interesting – people have told me my entire life that I would “hate LA” because I’m “such a New Yorker”. Yet…75% of the people I met there were FROM New York, and a lot of […]
SkinnyPig Travels: Charleston, SC
Cute cute cute. I think that was the theme of our trip to Charleston. Everywhere we went, we just said “oh my god, it’s so cute!” Their slogan should be: “Charleston: like a giant box of kittens and puppies”. Rayna (of @onehungryjew) and I stayed for 5 days in this […]
#tbt to Greece and Why You Need to Go
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 […]
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 […]
