Dining at Montpelier Plantation (The Mill & 750)
The first night at Montpelier Plantation, during the cocktail hour, I found it a little funny that random visitors from the Four Seasons on the other side of the island were showing up for dinner, but after tasting the splendid meal that evening, I realized that the food and dining experience at Montpelier was an attraction in itself. These weren’t hastily-prepared meals from a limited and long-set menu – each day, careful consideration was given toward the freshest of ingredients from the island, and the way in which they would be prepared. You would receive a menu at the social … Continue reading Dining at Montpelier Plantation (The Mill & 750)

JG Melon It was only a few minutes after we dropped off our bags at my aunt’s apartment, that we walked up Third Avenue to this Upper East Side staple.

Schiller’s Liquor Bar Schiller’s was packed to the brim by the time we made it over to the Lower East Side for dinner. We loved the style and feel of … Continue reading New York City
Washington D.C.
Last spring Michael & I hopped in the MINI and made the trek down to Washington D.C., as I was shooting a wedding in the country right outside of town. Spring had already come to D.C. (not quite so in Maine yet), and we took full advantage of the flowers and cherry blossoms as we walked all around town. We were excited to try out a few restaurants that we’d read about online, and also stumbled upon a couple of spots by chance that we really enjoyed. 2Amys I had often read about 2Amys on Rockstar Diaries, and found myself … Continue reading Washington D.C.
