My Culinary Adventures

For a small-town Southern girl, NYC held a certain allure for me. I had visited before and found it both exciting and intimidating. I grew up in Sutton, WV (population less than 1,000), went to college in North Carolina (go Demon Deacons!), studied abroad in Mexico and Spain and figured, upon graduation, that I needed another adventure. I moved to 45 Wall Street on September 19, 2004 and haven’t look back since.

I learned early on that one of my favorite parts of this city is going to new restaurants. I began collecting business cards from the places I visited and eventually amassed so many that I created a Google map for easy access the next time someone asks for a recommendation (and I love being asked). My all-time favorites include Babbo, Lupa, Café Havana, P.J. Clarke’s, Pearl Oyster Bar and Blue Ribbon Sushi. My recent favorites include Minetta Tavern and Convivio.

So here you have my map of culinary adventures - I hope you enjoy it!
