Pierre, Phil and Jim…

As some of you know, I am a licensed New York City tour guide.  However, this past weekend, my focus shifted to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  I went down to see the Philadelphia Museum of Arts’ exhibit on the late works of Renoir.  (yes, I drove about 100 miles to see an art exhibit..

Practically Perfect

Genius…one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. ~ Thomas Edison It is quite apparent that a lot of perspiration, serious thought and hard work have been invested into Buttermilk Channel.  As a tribute to the area’s history, the  restaurant  is named for the tidal strait...

Delicate Flower?

Exploring Peru

The subject of geography has always appealed to me.  My family immigrated to New York’s melting pot from another melting pot in the Caribbean, so a basic understanding of the subject is necessary just to keep track of my family tree.  As a foodie, my palate has also encouraged my interest.  A...

Just A Little Swing

It is easy to take your hometown for granted especially when you live in a big city.  I see the  Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty every day but I had not visited either since I was 12 years old.  Guests from out of town can make you see your home through fresh eyes, and take you out of your...
