Travel Blog Post: Tulum and Playa del Carmen

When I’ve heard people describe Tulum, it was described as a laid-back, Boho, magical mecca and it truly was!  Tulum is about a 1.5-hour drive from Playa del Carmen. Expect to find plenty of vegetarian-pescatarian spots and gorgeous mezcal bars.

Travel Post: Pacific Northwest Food and Cocktail Ramblings Part 3, Portland

While Portland has plenty of dive bars located in unassuming street corners, it has quite a thriving international food scene.  Not only do they have amazing vegan and vegetarian food, they have a prominent Indian and Vietnamese food scene.  I also had Swedish food there, which is not really a popular European cuisine in the U.S., so that was refreshing.  Did I fall in love with Portland the way I fell in love with Seattle?  No.  But I am so happy I was able to experience Portland in its sustainable, vegan glory.

Travel Blog: Pacific Northwest Food and Cocktail Ramblings Part 2, Seattle

Have you ever been to a vegan prix-fixe dinner?  I hadn’t been or even heard of this amazing concept until I went to Seattle.  Most prix-fixe restaurants in Chicago tend to be pretty meat-centric with a sprinkling of seafood and it’s kind of a pain to switch because you want to get your money’s worth.  But we didn’t have to worry about this in Seattle.  We could eat everything on the prix-fixe menu, as is, and not pay an arm and a leg at $65 per person.  It is definitely a special occasion, but it is much more affordable than other prix-fixe experiences.
