Weddings.
They make you do crazy things.
Like drive 11 hours in less than two days from Boston to NJ.

As if I'd come to expect anything less from a Kimpton hotel, The Palomar in Midtown makes for a comfortable, home-away-from-home stay during the few times I have visited Atlanta. From the easy check-in, to the clean-clean rooms to the painless…More »
After staying in a boutique hotel like the Saint Sulpice, it's hard to ever imagine staying in a Hilton/Marriot/Chain ever again! From the moment the valet took our car to the multitude of questions we asked during our stay, to genuinely polite…More »
