The Parc Brasserie is a charming bistro and cafe located on Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia. It is truly A Step Back In Time. A Step Back In Time Parc recalls a lovely time in turn of the century Paris. Indeed, restaurateur, Stephen Starr spent a few years trolling the French countryside to locate each of the antique design elements which give the cafe its truly authentic Parisian feel.

The Jersey Shore
The Jersey Shore in Cape May. No, this is NOT a post about Pauly D, Snookie or J Woww. I will however shamefully admit to having viewed an episode (or three) of this indescribable phenomenon and justifying it as research for this trip.

Philadelphia Freedom

This was a lesson learned earlier in the day while visiting the Philadelphia Mint. No pictures are allowed though. The original Miss Independence and her escort on the ... View the Post
When Dinosaurs Attack
I have no idea where he gets his sense of humor. Oh wait, I seem to remember his dad “holding” up the Leaning Tower of Pisa among other classic shots. When Dinosaurs Attack. When Dinosaurs Attack We took the train from Kelly’s house in New Hyde Park (on Long Island) and then jumped on the subway to head to the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Can anyone guess by this great mosaic where we got off? All of the die-hard New Yorkers I am sure are yelling out “The American Museum of Natural ... View the Post
