Richardson's/Rokerij: A Renewed Favorite
I've been going to Richardson's as my favorite neighborhood local since they opened over 20 years ago. Great southwestern food, seafood and margaritas. They opened a sister restaurant a few blocks away called Rokerij a few years ago. It was really...
Lyndhurst's best diner!
Another of my favorite diners, which is close to Newark, NJ. This one is right next to the river and with a full bar you can have a bloody mary with your bacon and eggs at midnight!
1400 miles of life lived
A buddy of mine and I rode 1400 miles from San Francisco through Yellowstone, Death Valley, Lone Point, Las Vegas, San Bernardino, Santa Margarita, Monterey, and Highway 1. The idea for the trip started with plans to reconnect with friends in...
In the hood at AFAR SF: Réveille Coffee Co
I can't get my day started without coffee from the lovely Christopher, Carley, and Tommy at Réveille. If you're ever in the North Beach area or Financial District in San Francisco, check it out–everyone's doin' it (by that I mean AFAR employees)!...
In the hood at AFAR SF: Yo-Yo's

Fun fact: the chefs at nearby Quince...
Wyoming Rodeo
If you're anywhere in the neighborhood... don't miss the Days of '49 in Greybull, Wyoming next weekend! The rodeo and Lisa's Restaurant are the two must-dos in Greybull.
entryway to the library, Seattle
One of Seattle's landmark buildings, the downtown Public Library is a dramatically asymmetrical 11-story-tall glass-and-steel 'sculpture' that takes up an entire city block. Designed by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, the interior features a...
Snoqualmie Falls
Just 25 miles east of Seattle, in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, is Snoqualmie Falls. Winter and spring are the best times to see the thundering 268-ft waterfall; summer brings sun (believe it or not), but less rain and snowmelt.
Although...
Labyrinth With The Perfect View
Land's End in San Francisco is an easy hike with huge payoff. This labyrinth sits just below the Legion of Honor parking lot and the Lincoln Park golf course. You can then scramble down to a beautiful rocky beach.
