Another round of coffees down the hatch! Thank god for Little Dom’s these days. Work has me sleep deprived.

Surfeit in Savannah
It ain’t easy eatin’ healthy in Savannah, that’s for sure! Come hungry to this Southern town, because the food is famous – and equally fattening. But that’s part of the fun. Besides, if you’re not out touring Savannah all day by bike, you’re doing it all wrong anyway! Make sure to hit Clary’s Cafe for a full breakfast. This greasy spoon has been serving up fried eggs and corned beef hash since 1903, and the staff is sweet and sassy like right out of a a sitcom.
Mrs. Wilkes’ Dining Room is essential. A line gathers each morning and at 11am the doors of Mrs. Wilkes’ famed boarding house swing open. Tabletops are crowded with platters of fried chicken and cornbread dressing, sweet potato souffle, black-eyed peas, okra gumbo, corn muffins and biscuits. The fixins’ are served family style among friends and strangers sharing tables of ten. The food is beyond delicious – just don’t forget to bus your plate before you go. ‘Dems the rules.
Sometimes you pull off the side of the road and order ribs. When in Savannah, you might as well try the local spots outside the Historic District, too. Randy’s Bar B Q is a little road side stand big on keeping it real.
Bourbon Bacon Brownies, I mean!!! These little Tex Mex heart attacks were homemade by my favorite coffee shop in Savannah, Foxy Loxy. I tried Gallery Espresso, The Sentient Bean, Goose Feathers, but no shop came close to the fresh brewed goodness at Foxy. The best.
The iconic Chanel No. 5…with a twist. Artist Hongtu Zhang’s Kimchi-Chanel, 1997.
If anything ever happens to La Luncheonette, I swear I will quit New York! This gem is in Chelsea, though not really part of it. Because when you step inside, you’re transported to another time and place in NYC, where regular characters share stories and a house tab, a husband and wife team prepare cassoulet and duck confit as an accordion player passionately serenades no one in particular from a dark corner. It’s the sort of place where you order a moscato and they top you off now and then just because. At the corner of Tenth Avenue and 18th Street for over 25 years, it’s a testament that love and good cooking can still stand tall alongside the gleaming glass highrises of West Chelsea.
Things I need: a soft pretzel pool floatie. And, um, a pool! Discovered via Oh Joy, one of my favorite blogs. From one pretzel-eating-sun-worshipping Philly girl to another: Oh Joy, you’ve done it again!
Ice cream season!
Writer munchies!
Brioche in the oven. Yummers from Modern Farmette.
Table setting at La Pause. You can feel your entire body relax as you enter the dirt road and succumb to its splendor.
La Pause is a bohemian desert oasis about an hour outside of Marrakech. No electricity, only panoramic views of the desert and the High Atlas Mountains and elegantly appointed open-air guestrooms that ooze authentic Moroccan charm. It is truly a magical place. Ladies lunching, La Pause style.
There’s an entire section of the souk in Marrakech dedicated to olives. Imagine the dirty martinis!!
Today’s dreamy lunch locale: Grand Cafe De La Poste. Casablanca meets The Jane Hotel in Marrakech vibes.
