Easter Sunday at Hillsong NYC: 2014
Although the majority of articles on my blog revolve around various reviews, tonight I just wanted to give props to the man upstairs for continuing to make an impact in my life, and for reminding me of who I am to Him, and in Him. Having lived in New York City for the past 9.5 ...
Show Review: Ulalena (Maui, Hawai’i)
Photo Credit: mauitheatre.com While planning out our evening activities, I happened to fall upon an advert for Ulalena in one of the many brochures at our hotel. I’m usually not the type to scour through advertisements in magazines as I prefer finding my info online, but in retrospect, I’m incredibly happy that I did as Ulalena ...
Restaurant Review: Nai Tapas Bar (LES, NYC)
Just another one of those inconspicuous Manhattan restaurants, whose storefront doesn’t do justice to the experience that is awaiting inside. A few weeks ago, a group of friends had agreed to meet for a birthday celebration at Nai Tapas Bar, located on the Lower East Side. For larger groups, Nai provides a delicious fixed menu for $40 per person, that ...
Hotel Review: Providence Biltmore Hotel (Rhode Island)
Located in the heart of downtown Providence, the Biltmore is conveniently location in close proximity to City Hall, the Rhode Island Convention Center, various museums, Brown University, and plenty of dining options. After a long ride on the bus from NYC, it was nice to see that our drop-off location was only a block away ...
Restaurant Review: Havana Cafe (Bronx, NY)
I don’t often venture out into the Bronx just for a meal, but the one exception I will always make is for the mouth-watering Lechoncito ($17 at time of review) at the Havana Cafe. Easily one of the top 5 meals I’ve had the opportunity to experience while living in NY, the bone-in roast pork ...
Restaurant Review: Las Tinajas (Panama City)
For anyone that’s been to Hawaii, the overall experience at Las Tinajas is much like a luau (delicious food+folkloric dances), but Panamanian style! As I was traveling solo, the hostess decided that I would get the ‘special seat’ for the night. I was pleasantly surprised to find that my table was right off the side of stage, which gave me ...
Restaurant Review: La Sandwicherie (Miami)
It was my first time in Miami and based upon a friend’s recommendation, a few buddies and I ended up checking out La Sandwicherie. This turned out to definitely be the best decision of the trip! I decided to go with the Prosciutto and Fresh Mozzarella, and it ended up being absolutely to die for! Just look at the pic…a ...
Latin Dancing in Seoul
Arrived in Seoul a few days before my family last summer, so I decided to take the opportunity to check out the Latin scene back in the motherland (Yes, Koreans dance salsa, haha)!. Based on recommendations I’d seen online, I decided to check out Club Turn (the reputation being that they had some of the most hard-core dancers). My ...
Hotel Review: Blux 901, Medellin (Colombia)
“Great place to call home while in Medellin” Stayed at the Blux 901 luxury rental apartment for 8 days in November 2012 and would like to state how impressed I was by the overall experience. The apartment is situated within a beautiful, state of the art building with exceptional amenities such as a rooftop pool, gym, ...
Hotel Review: Arlington Place, Bogota (Colombia)
“Very pleased with overall stay” Initially had a bit of a hard time finding the location (taxi driver seemed to have a difficult time with the address), but once we arrived, all three of us traveling together were quite pleased with our accommodations. It was nice to have a modern, upscale room to return to ...
