Last night I went to see the first Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim’s and Hugh Wheeler’s Tony Award–winning masterpiece A Little Night Music, directed by Tony Award-winner Trevor Nunn.  I love a lot of things about this production: the musical scores, the story line. But what is so fabulous about theater is that no matter how [Continue]

When friends come to New York City, there is always a list of things I like to recommend that they do with their families while here. However, doing much in the city, especially when traveling with the family, isn’t always something that is affordable to do. Hotels in New York are taking note in that [Continue]

Ah, New Orleans. I still remember the excitement with which I visited and New Orleans didn’t disappoint. In fact, it exceeded expectations. One of the things we enjoyed the most was the food. Oh the glorious food. I had a list of things to taste and hit the ground running once we got out of [Continue]

Recently I heard that New York City’s very own Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) had a program that was not only family-friendly, but catered well to the younger kids too. This came as a surprise to me for the MoMA was one of those places I had definitely set as a “never go to” place [Continue]

Anytime I have ever asked anyone about New Orleans I have heard about how fun it is. “The jazz clubs!” “The art scene!” “Mardi Gras!!” And after visiting New Orleans on this Summer’s road trip, I can say that all of these are definitely a strong part of the city’s culture. But what about the [Continue]

Asheville was the last stop on our 2010 Summer road trip and by this time we had pretty much spent our “extravagant restaurant experiences” budget. We could have stressed out a little wondering where all the inexpensive places to eat were in this new town we’ve never visited before. But because we were staying at [Continue]

I was very excited about traveling to New Orleans, but never having been there before made it difficult to determine where to stay. Lucky for us we had the help of the New Orleans Conventions and Visitors Bureau and they partnered us up* with Le Richelieu, a lovely hotel in the beautiful French Quarter. Located [Continue]
