Four Plates to Try When You’re at Todd Jurich’s Bistro in Norfolk, Virginia
I sat at a table in Todd Jurich’s Bistro in Norfolk, Virginia with zero expectations of the dinner that would come. As part of a group of writers visiting Norfolk to cover some of the restaurants in the city, I was eager to dine in another restaurant to review the food. Previously eating in Saltine,
What to Order from Four Eleven York’s Menu Before It Changes
The waiter came from behind me and put the amuse-bouche in front of me. I was sitting at Four Eleven York in Norfolk, Virginia with a small plate presenting a tater tot with crab. I couldn’t hide the confused look on my face as I processed that the fairly fancy restaurant placed the cafeteria style
Grab Everyone You Know for a Dining Experience on Spirit Cruises Norfolk
I don’t know if Matthew knows how great he is at his job, but he is pretty great. Chances are you’re confused at whom Matthew is and that’s fine, for now. The hope is that by the time you reach the last sentence on this page that you’ll know why he’s the best at his
Make a Trip to Doumar’s to See the World’s First Ice Cream Cone Machine
Stepping out of the van I thought I had walked into the past. With both feet planted on the ground and looking around me I could have sworn I was somewhere in the mid-1950s, but in an area that wasn’t so racist. Is that likely considering the year and where I was? No, but seeing
The Rustic Tart Invites You to Have Some of the Best Desserts in Norfolk
I didn’t know what to expect when visiting Norfolk. While I have a friend who went to college in a neighboring city and another friend who relocated to Norfolk, my only frame of reference for the city is what I’ve been told. I never had the chance to create a first-hand opinion let alone establish
“The World is Her Office” Podcast: How Doing Free Work and Failed Interviews Led Me to Eating Overseas
I talk a lot. That’s not a realization that I’ve recently stumbled upon, but it is a fact that I can admit out loud. What has become more apparent to me, in addition to talking, is that I’ve been traveling more often for the blog. At the start of 2018 I made a goal to
Check In and Stay a While at the Sheraton Waterside Hotel in Norfolk, Virginia
I don’t do well with traveling. I wish I could say that I’m the perfect type of traveler who can pack her bags early, find comfort in being in the air, and steps off the plane like a model to a runway. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. I’m a last minute stress packer, I
Find the Perfect Swedish Meatballs at this Stockholm Restaurant
17,638. You may be wondering what that number represents. It’s not how much I owe in student loans because it’s way more than that. It’s also not my daily calorie intake because if it were, I would be dead. Instead, it’s the amount of steps I took in a single day while in Stockholm. On
Start Any Stockholm Morning with Fika at Haga Bageri
You often take for granted how great it feels to put on clean clothes. That is until you think you’ll have to wash your current clothes in your hotel shower to wear again the next day. Trust me, it’s not a pleasant thought. However I thought about doing that when I was unsure if I
Stockholm’s Elite Hotel Carolina Tower Offers a Great Stay at a Great Price
The first day was the hardest. When the plane landed I didn’t know what to think, but it didn’t take long for me to realize that this was going to be the hardest day. I partially blame the older man sitting next to me on the 10.5 hour flight who wouldn’t stop telling me how
