The first time I went to this new place was with my lovely friends. We hadn’t met for so long and it was Marta’s birthday. Well, let’s celebrate! Cátia found Bar Douro and was dying to go there. Ana and I were up for whatever as long as it was tasty. As Cátia’s ...

I’m publishing this series of articles to share and discuss my ruminations on coping with a troubled and messy world. You can “follow” me to never miss an article. In mid-December, the Colorado Supreme Court took the unprecedented step of banning Trump from being on the State&rs...

While parking our car, the thud-thud-thud of dance music could be heard, but no one could see where it was coming from. There was a long ...

Welcome to my avian paradise. Who knew that a few innocent bird seeds would turn my backyard into the hottest bird bar in town? There I was, sprinkling birdseed around my yard, aiming for Snow White vibes — then, the word got out. And all of a sudden, my tranquil backyard lanai became an avian...

I wasn’t surprised when I read the Page Six article that Madonna had a rare outing with her kids on Mother’s Day at Alice. Alice is a restaurant potentially on the verge of breaking out from beloved neighborhood spot to destination restaurant for the two T’s, TikToker’s and t...
