Sunset Sunday – La Jolla, California

by on January 23, 2011 in Sunset Sunday

After a November on the left coast with adventures both north and south of the border, I wanted to spend my last afternoon taking in the sunset. So, before heading to the airport and the red-eye back to New York I stopped in La Jolla on the California coast. I set up a late lunch […]

Surf’s Up in the Land of Smiles – Thailand

Surf’s Up in the Land of Smiles – Thailand

by on January 20, 2011 in Beach, Destination

On any journey, I always search for a place to surf. As I mentioned in last week’s Beach Thursday post, when I hear “beach,” I think ‘surf’ or ‘ocean.’  And when traveling to Asia, I knew about the beaches, but I didn’t know about the surf outside of Indonesia. I researched and discovered a beach […]

After five fun filled days loaded culinary delights, charming walks and a wild weekend of college football, my trip to South Carolina had just one more evening.  Earlier in the week, I watched a warming sunset from the Charleston waterfront and this night, I decided to see if I could find a sunset in Columbia. […]

The Pearlz inside South Carolina Oysters

After a ninety-minute bus tour of Charleston (available at the Visitors Bureau), I asked the very knowledgeable driver for dining recommendations. He provided a few. I sampled them, but I never had the chance to visit one- Pearlz Oyster Bar. I thought next time. Then when talking with John over my crab cake at the […]

A Slice of New York in Charleston

A Slice of New York in Charleston

by on January 13, 2011 in Culture Thru Cuisine

On King Street a gentleman stated, “pizza by the slice.” I stopped. He extended his hand to give me a pamphlet. Puzzled, I thought was “by the slice” really a novelty or a selling point? I guess with the American restaurant scene becoming a “chain nation,” it’s true. A single slice might actually be hard […]

Salkehatchie and the Beaches on the Savannah River

Salkehatchie and the Beaches on the Savannah River

by on January 13, 2011 in Beach, Destination

If I played the word association game with “beach,” my first thoughts might be either “surf” or “ocean.” I’d rarely think “lake,” and might never think “river.” Yet during a visit to the Salkehatchie region of South Carolina I enjoyed some brief, but memorable beach moments along the Savannah River. Ninety minutes north of the city […]

Charleston Crab House is much more than a good Crab Cake

Charleston Crab House is much more than a good Crab Cake

by on January 12, 2011 in Culture Thru Cuisine

After a taste of the savory barbeque and the classic of shrimp and grits one item still existed on my personal Charleston ‘must eat’ list: crab cakes. So where better to eat a low country pan seared cake of goodness then the Charleston Crab House. With the first steps inside the restaurant the mood was […]

Charleston Cuisine in Blossom

The vibrant restaurant scene of downtown Charleston makes for a perfect place to take in an evening meal. And after watching the sunset down on the waterfront, I headed up to East Bay Street for dinner at Blossom for a delightful dinner in Charleston. Just as my martini arrived, the chef came out to greet […]
