In less than 3 months, Kevin and I will officially tie the knot in downtown Los Angeles. To celebrate, Kevin’s friends from his Stanford days invited us up to San Francisco for a low key celebration. It’s a great place to celebrate a gay bachelor party given San Francisco’s progressive attitudes…
Each year, it has become a tradition to visit Las Vegas the weekend before Christmas. Check out our top picks from the last trip. There really isn’t a better time to visit — the hotel rates plummet, the weather isn’t unbearably hot and there are a lot less visitors in general….
Heading to Philadelphia for Christmas? Kevin and I recently returned from a weekend with the family in Philly. There isn’t a better time to visit the city than the holidays with special museum exhibits, festivals and Christmas markets right in the heart of downtown. Plus, the food! If I lived…
It’s December, which means one thing if you live or are visiting New York City — it is crazy busy! But I love all the energy and think it’s one of the best times to visit. A few months back, Kevin and his cousins concocted a fun idea: to hit…

This year, I surprised Kevin for his birthday with a trip to Seattle (including the nearby San Juan Islands and Mt. Rainier). It was a big birthday year for him. You know, the kind of birthday where some people stop counting (or in LA, where we start subtracting!). To avoid the reality of getting older,…
It’s my birthday! Well, technically my birthday was last week. But in my family, we don’t believe in just one day (a tradition that Kevin has quickly adopted especially when its his birthday). In fact, I’ve earned a (much-deserved) reputation of having a birthday month! I own it. Dinner at Bestia,…
The Christmas time fun continues with the family in Tampa, Florida. This year, my mom planned for us all to do a food walking tour of Tampa’s historic Ybor City, located just northeast of downtown. Let’s just say, this food tour went MUCH smoother than the one Kevin and I planned last…
My mom bought me a food walking tour through Old Town Pasadena for my birthday. Okay, so my birthday was back in August. I sure know how to stretch out a celebration, right? But to be fair, Kevin and I have been gone a lot of weekends… And there was that…
