Insane!   So many customers.  All the knock offs of designer labels you can dream of.

Jaded since all my fellow fashion designers come to knock off the knock offs.  Don't get me wrong, it's a vicious cycle propelled by unimaginative bosses overwhelmed…More »

Quebec has so much charm and makes you feel as though you've gone to Europe without even leaving the continent.  The cobble stone roads and the Old World architecture just add to all the charm.  The locals all speak French and encourage you to join…More »

How I long for the days I could travel to Paris for work.  My guilty pleasure was always visiting the Saint-Germain Laduree Bonaparte Shop after a long day of shopping.   I still can't choose my favorite flavor to this day.   They make the perfect…More »

I went here for my brother's rehearsal dinner before his wedding and I was blown away by how lovely Pittsburgh is.  Not at all what I expected and the view of the city at night was just beautiful.  

The service was great and the food was very good,…More »

The flying fish is a rarity.  I basically saw them when camera crews were around.  The flowers look amazing but when I brought them home and to work they died the next day.  The food is mainly the same as the amazing freshly stocked grocery stores.…More »

Love this store.  I can always find something to buy for everyone I know... I have to run out of it so I don't spend my paycheck away.  I guess I'm just a kid at heart since I can spend as much time in the children's book and toy section as any of…More »

After being an old train line which looked horrible for years and an eyesore to one of the trendiest neighborhoods of NYC, aka the meatpacking district, it is now so lovely.  A great way to reuse an old space and make it into a gem of a tourist…More »

I lived in NYC and I lived very close to the Frick, Met, and only one block away from the Whitney.

The Philadelphia Museum is so lovely.  My only wish is that it would do more and better costume exhibits.  The most memorable was the Schiapparelli.

Love the experience of getting a cheese steak from here.  The attitude and location are fun.
