I always struggle with how to cover New York City on this blog. As a lifelong New Yorker, I consider this city to be the world's greatest tourist destination and I could easily devote my entire blog to what to see and do here. But one of my goals for Travelogged is to cover as […]
New York City's St. Patrick's Day Parade showcases planning and execution at its finest, followed by a less fine display of drunkeness and disorder at the bars near the parade route. But New York's Easter Parade is the opposite — it's a much less formal affair with a rather sober aftermath. Every Easter, the city […]
(photo by Daniel Cooper, Esq./Flickr) I won’t even try to pretend that I’m out on at the clubs every night — or any night in recent memory. But luckily, guest blogger Trina Mezzacappa, who writes the nightlife-oriented Love, Your Favorite City Girl, is willing to share her expertise of what’s hot right now. She can’t […]
Right now, the world’s largest parade is taking place: the 248th St. Partick’s Day Parade in New York City. It’s a beautiful day in NYC, and I enjoyed being one of the estimated 2 million people who watch the parade — especially because I was standing toward the end of the route near the Metropolitan […]

But if you've blown your limited clothing budget on dining, Broadway tickets and museums entry fees instead (hey, nothing wrong with that!), fear not. A […]
After transporting us to Rio and Belo Horizonte with his videos, Ivan (aka The Food Poet) takes us around his neighborhood, the Upper West Side of New York City. This is a useful — and entertaining — culinary guide whether you live in NYC and are looking for new places or whether you’re just visiting […]
I was at the coat check at the Whitney Museum of American Art in NYC, deep in thought about the Alexander Calder: exhibit I had just seen. I was thinking about how Calder truly exercised his imagination, creating wire sculptures of animals, faces and figures like no one had ever seen before. Not to mention his mobiles […]
