DeVotchKa with Seattle Symphony
Over the years I've seen DeVotchKa several times in more typical rock band venues, and they always put on a fun, lively, passionate show. But this sold-out performance with the Seattle Symphony was bound to be really special.
The Modern
Our last night in New York was spent dining at The Modern, a chic, Michelin-starred restaurant that overlooks the sculpture court at the Museum of Modern Art.
Noguchi Museum
I'd been wanting to go to The Noguchi Museum since the first time I visited New York City in the early 1990s. I'm pleased to say that, over twenty years later, I finally made the time.
Eleven Madison Park
I knew we’d be fortunate enough to have a few really nice meals in NYC, but I wanted to have at least one over-the-top extravagance.
Sushi Nakazawa
Sushi Nakazawa is unassuming from the exterior and you could easily miss it as you walk by, but the interior is chic and modern with a different vibe than your typical sushi restaurant.
SAAS STREAM Grand Opening
Almost four years since work started on the master plan for SAAS' STREAM building, its opening day has finally arrived and the building is full of life -- with students, robots, art, and excitement around every corner.
EL Ideas
It's an intimate set-up with a casual, friendly vibe. There is a loud, eclectic playlist and Breaking Bad art in the restrooms. But the food is serious. Well, that's not entirely true; some of it is quite fun and playful, but all of it is beautifully presented, carefully curated, absolutely delicious, and at times mind-blowing.
Chicago Architecture
One of the best ways to take in all of the amazing architecture Chicago has to offer, while also learning a little bit about the city's history, is to take an architectural boat tour.
Vancouver
It's always great to get away on a long holiday weekend, using it as an excuse to make the quick trek up to one of our favorite weekend get-away locations: Vancouver, British Columbia. Other than some dinner reservations, we didn't have much planned for the weekend, which allowed our mood and the weather to dictate the rest; and what we ended up with was reasonable weather that didn't force us inside, along with some outstanding and memorable meals.
