National Geographic: Asian-Inspired Chocolate in Brussels

March 25, 2013

I spent a morning with chocolatier Laurent Gerbaud in Brussels and got to indulge all my fantasies of opening a chocolate shop in the wonderful country of Belgium. Here's more on National Geographic Urban Insider.

Renewed membership. Stopped for a William Greenberg black & white cookie on Madison (of course).

My favorite park in Brooklyn feels like Europe and is cool and moody in a flash flood.

Yes, social media is a highlight reel and everyone has problems and heartbreak and pain...but I wanted to post this to remember this weekend and THIS smile which still makes me nervous (in a good way). Thanks @alexherrmannnyc for a heart-fluttering, beautiful couple of years.

Beautiful hike to Lion's Head, just outside the (adorable) village of Salisbury, CT - five miles from the NY border. This view! "Not Switzerland but almost," says @alexherrmannnyc

The MOST BEAUTIFUL garden and lake with Chinese & Japanese design elements.

Every June summer weekend cliche and I love it. #strawberries #icedcoffee

Friday morning panel talking travel trends and independent hotels with @jackezon @acqualinaresort @ruurdhooijer @leadinghotelsoftheworld #virtuosotravel Fun fact: 87% of Leading Hotels' portfolio (around 400 properties worldwide) is family-owned. Love that!!

This weekend, my girlfriends (and sister) were my lifeline, laughter, and love. A great reminder that this is a #1 priority.
