Cat Cora’s Gourmet Market, Salt Lake City, UT USA

We had a 5pm flight and I was hungry for comfort food as we arrived at the Salt Lake City airport. Rachel and I wandered around looking for attractive dining options, with no luck except for a cool-looking Italian restaurant (or Tuscan kitchen, I believe it said).

The Parish Cafe and Bar, Boston, MA USA

I had never dined at Henrietta’s Table, but had heard fantastic reviews. My only excuse was that I went to high-school in Cambridge and after graduating, tended to avoid the Harvard Square […]

Hilton MSP Airport Mall of America, Minneapolis, MN, USA

 “Looks like we won’t be making it to Jackson Hole tonight,” my father said in disappointment as we scrambled last minute to find flights that might work. Delta had delayed our flight from Boston several hours, which meant we were missing our connection to Jackson, Wyoming. Evan was not a happy camper; stuck on connecting […]
