InterContinental Century City, Los Angeles, CA USA

24 hours in LA.  I had some solid meetings lined up, but the original purpose of this trip was the Shoah Foundation 20th Anniversary Benefit Gala. I don’t recall ever having been to a gala before, so this would be a first. And a great one to lose my gala virginity to: hosted by Conan […]

224 Boston Street, Dorchester, MA USA

Walking into 224 Boston Street I felt nothing but excitement. I had never dined in Dorchester, but had heard positive reviews about certain neighborhoods and their local “spots.” Tonight was the night to try one out! This was not a decision spearheaded by me.
