Turkish desserts: an amalgam of odd and wonderful

Here’s a confession: I’m a serious foodie. I mean, I am a world-class eater. I don’t know how people become food critics, but I will tell you this, it’s one of my secret dream jobs. Navigating my way through a whole new cuisine was one of the most exciting prospects of relocating to Turkey. There weren’t many Turkish restaurants in the places that I lived and to be honest with you, I’m not sure I would have made a point to seek any out, not having heard...

Home is Wherever...I Am

Every time I land in a...

What a difference a few avenues can make. And who would I be if I didn't share my discoveries on my little blog. You never know when it might come in handy for those visiting or relocating to New York and it never hurts to give a shout out to good businesses that deserve new customers, whether they...
