The Pioneer Woman Mercantile

by Isa Ciccotelli | Jun 12, 2017 | U.S.A.

Starting about two years ago, exactly like clockwork, I would turn on Food Network at the start of my working-from-home 1pm lunch hour (I like lunching late) because The Pioneer Woman was on.

I’m gonna be honest here: I’m not a huge pie person. Wait! Don’t go! I like pie just fine, but it’s highly unusual that it’s my first choice for dessert. But when it comes to cream pies—coconut, French silk, peanut butter, KEY LIME—I am 110% into pie. So, when Brian and I were down in [...]

by Brian Ciccotelli | Jul 22, 2016 | New York City, U.S.A.

We were super excited about tonight. The High Line, which we've been on plenty of times before, invited the City to come out and play after dark, in an event they called Up Late on the High Line. Along with the ability to roam the park after normal closing hours, they invited artists to create [...]

Secret Nature Sanctuary in Central Park

by Brian Ciccotelli | Apr 22, 2016 | Central Park, New York City, U.S.A.

Today I checked another box off my bucket list. I explored the extremely rarely open (as in a few hours per year) Hallett Nature Sanctuary. The Hallett Nature Sanctuary as seen from across the Pond.
