How do you follow a terrific meal in Saratoga’s finest restaurant? The answer (for me) was an overnight stay followed by a few hours enjoying some of Saratoga’s other assets. First stop – Mrs. London’s for my usual almond croissant and glorious bowl of latte. Carbed and caffeined, I made my way to Saratoga National … Continue reading Soaking it in

Deliver this love letter to 15 Church
I’m almost embarrassed to admit this, but I had dinner last week for the first time ever at 15 Church.

3 (Lunar) b*tches and a witch
On a recent and beautiful Sunday morning all three of the Lunar b*tches rendezvoused in Greenwich to run our last scheduled trail race of the season, the Wandering Witch. It was our first time running in this event and we couldn’t have asked for more ideal conditions - the sun was shining, foliage was popping … Continue reading 3 (Lunar) b*tches and a witch
