Is an evening elegant without a visit to Saint-Gaudens? No.
If elegance is learned, Saint-Gaudens National Historic site is a university.
Fizzy Coffee
I needed to congratulate two elegant women on career advancements so I took them to Lucky’s Coffee Garage to enjoy a shot of espresso in ginger beer. I’m a fan of fizzy coffee and this is my favorite combination by far. I also recommend Lucky’s cold brew syrup in mexican coke and espresso in blood orange soda.
Barre Quarries
I love visiting Barre because due to poverty and realness it is not on any Vermont tourism brochures.
Where We Store Our Photos
As the aerial tram car ascended into the cloud cover the driver announced, “Welcome to the cloud – this is where you store your photos.”
I laughed.
I like to pick a day every year with horrible weather to take the tram up Cannon Mountain.
Cannon Mountain Tips
- I love taking the tram up to the top of Cannon on the last weekend of the season in October because the top is often covered in snow.
- The tram car swings at the first support tower which is my favorite.
- You can allegedly see all the way to Canada from the top on a clear day. Clear days are lame.
Hudson Yards
I hate Hudson Yards. I only went there because it is near Penn Station and at the end of the High Line. If you are in NYC go visit it just to see how unenjoyable it is.
