Confession time. I’m a picky eater. A very picky eater. It’s painful to admit because of all my identities I consider myself first and foremost a cultured, adventure-loving traveler.

You’re amazing and you bring out the worst in me. New York was my Shangri la. Before I was old enough or worldly enough to dream of Bangkok or London, New York was undoubtedly in my mind the center of planet Earth and all activity that existed on it. […]
