If you didn’t know by now, National Parks are my current list. First it was collecting mini Cabbage Patch Kids dolls, then it was Broadway shows I’ve seen, followed by states I’ve slept a night in, countries I’ve backpacked through, breweries I’ve drank at, and now it’s National Parks. I’m not somebody that enjoys exercising … More Montana, Idaho & Wyoming – Summer 2021
It’s become a tradition to visit Portland each year, since one of my best friends made this city her new home four years ago. With each trip, we’ve continued to dive deep into this old port city and enjoy getting to know all of the aspects that make this coastal vacation spot so special. Portland … More Pigging Out in Portland (Maine)
We road tripped through New England and spent 2.5 long days in Montréal. I say long, only because we showed up with zero plans and managed to fill our days with almost as much food and culture as I would have intentionally planned. Although my research was minimal, due to lack of time and a … More Meandering in Montréal – Aug 2019
Atlantic Offshore Fishery is one of the best hidden gems in the area. Tucked down a side street just off of Broadway, this family-owned fish market sells and serves the freshest locally-caught fish at reasonable prices. In the few months that we’ve been eating there, it’s become tremendously popular. This week, we noticed that they … More Atlantic Offshore Fishery – Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey
Cheap flights and the “city of lights” warranted another (for me) trip to Paris. There’s something so rewarding about navigating the streets of a foreign city; getting lost in the hustle and bustle of languages and practices different from your own. During the holiday season especially, everything is so picturesque. From the cobblestone alleyways to … More Feasting in France
Bryce Canyon National Park was the most beautiful landscape I’ve ever laid my eyes on. Whether we were driving along the stretch of overlook points or hiking down deep into the canyon, we found ourselves constantly at a loss for words. It is $35 to enter the park by car and you get a week … More Utah & Arizona – August 2018
Gastronaut Girls turned 3 this past June and I have to say that I couldn’t feel more accomplished as a writer, a traveler and not embarrassed to admit, an eater. While 800 Instagram followers and a few handfuls of blog readers isn’t that impressive, I am proud that sharing some of our favorite hobbies can … More Home Is Where You Roam
Spicy Garden in Manasquan has quickly become our favorite new take out spot. They’ve been open for about two months and they aren’t on social media yet. They are a Thai fusion restaurant containing classic dishes and selections from other Asian cuisines. Everything is really freakin’ good. The vegetables are fresh and the chicken is … More Spicy Garden – Manasquan, New Jersey
Bagel Station is our newest local bagel joint and unfortunately, we can walk there. These bagels are way too good and they’re about the size of your head. *see photo below* The outside has a perfect crisp and the inside is nice and chewy. Whether you’re eating there or taking out, a bagel sandwich makes … More Bagel Station – Spring Lake Heights, New Jersey
Our experience at Aarzu in downtown Freehold was nothing less than wonderful. From the excellent service to the unique dishes, it is obvious that this Indian restaurant is more noteworthy than any we’ve been to in a while. Most of the dishes that they offered on their brunch buffet were unlike anything we had tried … More Aarzu Modern Indian Bistro – Freehold, New Jersey
