Whether it’s a hotel, tour, or travel gadget, checking reviews is the smart first step. That’s why I test everything myself (with help from my family!) and share the real results here. No fake ratings, just useful reviews you can trust.
Don’t waste money on bad trips! My unbiased travel reviews cut through the hype to tell you what’s actually worth your time and cash. I test everything, from luxury resorts to budget backpacks, so you don’t have to!
I actually use the products, stay at the hotels, and visit the destination. Here’s what makes my reviews different:
New Orleans is known to have some of the most unique foods created in all of the US that are native to this city. This was one of my missions, to try as much local New Orleans food as possible. And there’s nothing better than starting with a staple famous food: New Orleans Po-Boys. Naturally, […]

Confession time – I am probably the only New Yorker who has never eaten at a gourmet deli. Crazy, I know! So when my family and I traveled to Florida I decided it was time to introduce my kids to a real delicatessen. The main reason why delis even came up on my radar was […]

Locals, tourists, born-and-raised New Yorkers all have one thing in common. They all love Central Park. And they gather here for all types of events, activities, watching street performers, listening to live music, making out, or having their kids enjoy either the carousel, zoo, or a million other things it offers. And the best way […]

Did you know that brunch can be one of the most interesting meals offered by restaurants? Breakfast is probably one of the most favorite meals and when it is infused with lunch this gives the chef complete freedom to create meals that you wouldn’t normally have. And when this takes place in restaurants like Oceans […]

Before planning a trip anywhere, I do tons and tons of research. It’s probably my favorite thing to do, other than being in the actual destination. The same rule applied for preparing our Hollywood Studios Florida in Disney World trip. Ironically, I found myself learning more about this trip than any other! Quick bits of […]

Few zoos truly can call themselves cage-less. Yet many (too many) pretend to fall into that category. In my opinion, long gone are the days when animals are boxed into small cages where they stress fully pace back and forth from one short end to the other. Miami Metro Zoo can definitely be placed above […]

One of the fun things about Tampa is that everything is so close to one another, you can easily fit several fun activities for kids in one day without fatiguing them or driving them around too much. A good, easy day with kids would be to start at the Glazer Children’s Museum. Have lunch either […]

South Florida and Japan have a long history together – much to my surprise.

Eating out at fancy-schmancy restaurants is fantastic and a dream for most parents traveling with young kids. We always fit in two or three dining out adventures, and they are great fun. But nothing beats eating at food stands and trucks. I hunt food trucks everywhere we visit, Boston is no different. Recommended Read: Dining in Boston, […]

Philadelphia may be one of the smaller cities in the United States, but it has more history and things to do than most larger cities I’ve traveled. It is one of the most important places in all of US history. Aside from being the place where the US Constitution was written and signed, this is […]

Whenever my family and I travel, we love to take tours of the places, predominantly cities, that we visit to get a good understanding of where we are and also what there is to do overall. Normally, with kids, we either do a bike tour or bus/trolley tour. Since Charleston was the chosen spot for […]

What are the first things that come to mind when you hear New Orleans? For me, it is: Jazz, Mardi Gras, and Voodoo. Interestingly enough, I was at Mardi Gras over twenty years ago and the Jazz Fest over fifteen years ago, so the only real thing for me to sink my teeth in that is […]

My planning for Legoland began in December 2012. That was a long time to wait for a cool place. But it was a great way to keep my kids behaving (for the most part) during the year, knowing that the carrot at the end of the reward stick was Legoland. So you can imagine how […]

New York City is one of the easiest and most accessible cities to get around.
