Hi! Hello and welcome! Let me first explain what I’m doing here- asking you to read and all… ugh, exhausting! Having temporarily given up my friends, family and dream career in the name of luuvvv and moved to the Big Apple, I’ve recently found myself struggling to find a connection to something, other than myself (and my couch). To be quite honest (a naturally occurring character trait here), taking the bar, quitting my job, moving from Raleigh to New York City and leaving my best friends and entire family behind for one person (albeit, my now husband) has taken a toll (to say the least) and it’s about time for me to get back to, well, me. In the past months, there has been soul searching, boundary testing, and let’s face it- A LOT of eating and drinking. I have finally come to the conclusion that I want to share all of these moments with you all in an extremely personal way: through a blog on the world wide web.

Many of you may have noticed (by the ever increasing size of my ass) that the one thing that I have maintained an interest in since moving to the city is FOOD. So yes, while I’m trying to sell this blog to you as a way to stay in touch, it’s actually a food blog. Let’s face it- who doesn’t like to eat? I happen to LOVE to eat and I just happen to live in the best city in the country for eating. (We can’t hold a candle to France or Italy. Not worth the argument.)

I’ve had the privilege of dining at some of the most amazing restaurants in the city (and the world) since moving to Manhattan, one year ago today. Looking forward to sharing my dining experiences with you all over the next year!

Stay tuned for what's next and in the meantime, check out my ABOUT page, peruse the images on here and on my Instagram account!
