Boston Part’s 1 and 2 After the USS Constitution I headed off on a walk of the neighborhood, passing by Winthrop Square. As with the rest of Boston, it was very snowy, and I didn’t pass many people walking on the street…and minus one or two large groups, I think I was one of the …
PART 1 HERE After the Irish Potato Famine Memorial I tried to go to the Boston Massacre Site and Old State House, which was unfortunately closed for the day. And with the weather as it was (and me first wandering off in the wrong direction) I paid a few $ for a taxi to go …
This past weekend I went to Boston, staying by a college friend and her husband. I left for Boston at 3PM on Thursday after work, prepping for a long rush hour drive.

Yesterday I went down to the Belmont race track, home of the Belmont Stakes, where California Chrome recently missed winning the triple crown. This was my first time there, but the goal had been to watch a horse named after one of the anchors at Fox Business. I give you Bartiromo: I hung around for …
This past Sunday, for the second consecutive year, I headed up to Bear Mountain for another adventure in #AvisTravels. We headed out early, leaving Brooklyn around 8AM, beating traffic out of NYC and making great timing up to Bear Mountain. The weather couldn’t’ve been better. If you were to plan a day out, this was …
