My relationship with Barry’s Bootcamp started with love at first class. I thought I was literally dying from exerting every last muscle in my body, until the very last sprint on the treadmill. Then, as soon as the class was over, a feeling of euphoria washed over me like the ones you get after you have

A Night of Luxury and the Secret Society of Freemasons
I’m going to tell you a secret. But first, let me give you a bit of back story of where this happened. When I was first told about an evening of journey through time at the Andaz Liverpool Street Hotel (formerly the Great Eastern Hotel dated back to 1884), I knew that an adventure awaited me at one

A Taste of Cornwall in London
Last time I was in Cornwall, it was at the height of British Summer time. Sea breeze, soft lush pale golden sand between my toes, and some of the tastiest food I have ever had. The local produce was fresh, seasonal, and there was never a dull plate of food. The locals relish in their culinary traditions and make

Views from the Sky Garden in London
Lately, I have been on a bit of a merry-go-around with skyscrapers in London. As space becomes more scarce on the ground level, London’s skyline is growing to become more like New York, building one skyscraper after another.

The main gripe Mr.New Yorker and I have about Valentine’s Day is that any typical celebration involving a restaurant means that we’ll be dining with many other couples at the same time. We have never actually celebrated the actual occasion on

New Yorker Meets London Art Fair
I have always had a passion for art. I love creating them and I love being surrounded by them. When I was a little girl, I have always loved drawing whether it’s on the back of a paper napkin at the restaurant or to my parent’s discontent, our lovely white walls around the apartment. Thankfully, my Mother

A Korean Food Revolution
As I popped into the taxi with a handful of orders from On The Bab, the pungent yet delicious smell of the Korean bulgogi beef sitting comfortably in their spicy savoury marinade peeked out of my food haul. “What is it, is this Chinese food?” The lovely Turkish driver looked back through his thick rimmed

Return of the Lobster…Burger & Lobster That is!
So as you all know me quite well by now, if I could just live on seafood (any of our fellow delicious crustacean friends), I would for 24 hours and 7 days of the week. Case in point, check out this photo of me digging into a crab claw in the Barcelona’s famous El Cangrejo Loco
