Happy at Harney

Best sushi in San Diego. Hands down.

Miso Harney (it's on Harney Street....get your mind out of the gutter!)

Awesome, mouth watering, adventurous, creative rolls such as the vietname-so-harney...
Tuna, salmon, avocado, cucumber, sprouts, microgreens, strawberry, jalepeno, shiso wrapped in rice paper, sweet citrus chili dipping sauce...

Beautifully served food and a totally cool atmosphere. Indoor/outdoor seating with a DJ spinning music. This restaurant offers visitors a true taste of San Diego.

Sam's @ Louis Boston



The fabulous new space where Louis Boston resides also houses Sam's restaurant. Besides the gorgeous location, views, and architecture, the food is locally sourced and the drink menu is sublime. This is a score for the Seaport and Southie. Cannot wait to return.

Hot Whiskey, Warm Soul



It is currently a tundra of snow, ice and wind at a chilling 19 degrees. Nothing takes the chill off (or keeps the flu away!) better than a hot whiskey. Hot whiskeys are commonly served in Ireland. You'll be surprised how sweet, aromatic and soothing this drink is.

2 1/2 oz Irish whiskey

1 slice fresh lemon
2-4 cloves
1 tsp sugar or honey
hot water

Pour the whiskey into a whiskey sour glass. Add cloves into the fresh lemon and place into the whiskey. Fill with hot water and dissolve in the sugar. Serve immediately.

Book Worm

Vogue Gallery

I have a slight obsession with bookshelves for a few reasons...

a) They add warmth and personality to any room
b) They give great insight to a person's dreams, beliefs, value system, and passions
c) The endless opportunity to rearrange them

The one above belongs to Lauren Santo Domingo, a vogue.com contributor who seems to have a warm, earthy, yet futuristic aesthetic for her abode in Manhattan.
