Sidetracked! Max Brenner
Blog: Family Friendly Hotel, Resort, Suite Reviews: Travel Savvy Mom » blog - 22 April 2010
I literally threw myself on the mercy of our hotel desk clerk, imploring her to get our weekend back on track by recommending a dinner location which would impress the kids *and* the adults in our party. It was a tall order, but she came through for us in a major way with Max Brenner.

Rita’s Comes to NYC
Blog: Broke-Ass Stuart's Goddamn Website - 16 February 2010
When I say the words “water ice” outside the city limits of Philadelphia, people look at me like I’m some backwards hick who just crawled out of the Schuylkill River.

Blog: Ciao Bambino! - 4 November 2009
I was born and raised less than half an hour outside of Philadelphia. I grew up going to Phillies games, watching “Rocky” movies and eating cheese steaks and soft pretzels. It’s easy to see why I loved Philly as a kid. Now, as an adult, I love taking my kids. As a parent, if you want to take your kids on a city vacation, it’s easy to forget about Philadelphia. Think about the competition. There’s New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, just to name a few.
