A few weeks ago I felt the urgent, desperate need to flee New York City.
There was something about the city's noise, its attitude, its frenetic pace that was driving me out of my mind. I felt caged in by the narrow tenement buildings of my Lower East Side streets. A taxi driver honked unnecessarily and I felt the irrepressible urge to slam on his front hood and yell "WHAT THE HELL DID ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Filmmaker Alex DePhillipo just released a surfing documentary, "Dark Fall," which profiles the New Jersey surf scene, as well as some of the state's top surfers-including former World Championship Tour qualifier and cancer survivor ...Weekending: Veliko Tarnovo

You luxuriate in the things your expat home lacks, ...Weekending: Bodrum/Greece

As an expat in Istanbul, I am very fortunate to have awesome opportunities for short trips around Europe and the Middle East. My previous weekend jaunt was to Beirut, Lebanon.

The most recent hotel vying for the attention of "Jersey Shore" fans is none other than The Tropicana Casino & Resort in Atlantic City,

Feb 11th, 2010 at 1:30PM: Rumor has it MTV is moving its popular and controversial show "Jersey Shore" to Miami for its second season, but where will the show put its castmates?
According to the Miami Herald, MTV producers are scoping out hotels in South Beach instead of renting a beach house, a la Jersey Shore, season one. But where does one put "The Situation" and "Pauly D"? What hotel says "Snookie"? I'm actually ...Surf's up, East Coast!
Aug 22nd, 2009 at 4:30PM: Although Hurricane Bill is playing havoc with weekend travel plans for many on the East Coast, it's proving to be a landmark event for surfers up and down the Eastern Seaboard. This Saturday and Sunday are shaping up to be some of the biggest wave days in recent memory, and the excitement among Eastern wave riders is palpable. With sustained winds at over 100 MPH, Hurricane Bill has been whipping ...
