24 Hours in Tribeca: A Detailed Itinerary

I recently found myself in the triangle below canal street, also know as TriBeCa. There are certain neighborhoods that I am drawn to in any city. In London, you could find me in Notting Hill on any given day. In San Francisco, I would sip champagne in the Marina District on a Sunday afternoon. And in New York, it’s been a toss up between TriBeCa and Chelsea. Both neighborhoods contain so much hidden charm within the concrete walls of the city. Both also cost an arm and a leg. It’s obvious that I am not alone in my love for these areas of the city, as you will find locals swarming the best eateries and cafes each weekend. Continue Reading

Prepare yourselves, this is going to be a long one.

I felt it was about time that I created an ‘Ultimate Guide’ to my favorite city in the world. I am actually extremely proud of how many things I accomplished while living in London. It’s true that you will never find yourself complaining of boredom in London.

Like most metropolises {yes, that’s a word}, there are so many neighborhoods to explore. Here in New York, I am having a hard time knowing what neighborhood I’m in, when I’m in it. And it’s not for lack of trying. But you walk around the corner, cross a side street, and suddenly BOOM, you have crossed from TiBeCa to Little Italy.

Advantages of Traveling Solo

by Rachel En Route April 3, 2017 No Comments

If you don’t already know, I am a huge advocate for traveling solo. I enjoy traveling with friends, understand the importance of traveling with a significant other, and reminisce on past family vacations. Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages to every type of travel.But nothing {and I mean nothing} surpasses the freedom and independence you feel when you travel alone.

THE MOST STUNNING VIEWS IN NEW YORK CITY FOR UNDER $3

by Rachel En Route March 27, 2017 4 Comments

As I mentioned last week, my very best friend of over twenty years was in town for a whopping five days. Now, five days in New York feels more like five minutes.

But I feel it is important for us to reflect on history, in the hopes that it will never repeat itself. Continue Reading
