New York City is the kind of place where you can get anything you want, and on a quick weekend trip to the city, we had our heart set on cocktails.

We’ll be the first to admit that we’d need an entire year in New York, going out seemingly every night, to even get a nice cross-section of them all. So in this visit, we really wanted to be strategic in targeting some of the very best cocktail bars in New York City.

We went to five, and we have to admit, these blew us away all for very different reasons!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City (aptly called The Met for short) is one of the world’s best museums. 

Featuring art and artifacts from the earliest days of human history through to modern times, sourced from all over the world, to say this one has a little bit of everything may be a bit of an understatement. Naturally, it means the museum is huge and, if we’re being honest, impossibly hard to see everything on a single visit.

As such, you really need to have a plan for visiting this museum so as to ensure you are getting most out of your ticket price. In this one, we thought it’d be fun to look at different ways to plan a visit to the museum in lieu of sharing great exhibits outright because, again, there are just too many!

Key lime pie is one of my all-time favorites, and, true to name, you have no shortage of options when traveling around the Florida keys.

We made it our mission to try as many Key lime pies as we could, from Key Largo to Key West, and certainly ate our fill during our three short days in the area.

But while we could talk about all of the Key lime pies we sampled in this one, instead, we wanted to focus on our three favorites. The best of the best. The Key lime pies we still dream about. The places where you’ll want to immediately order a second slice. The kind of place that I would feel sad if anyone missed- they’re just that good.

So if you’re looking for Key lime pie perfection, do not miss these three staples in the Florida Keys!

Key West has a bit of a reputation as a party town, and, in a way, it is well earned. The business districts within Key West are quite popular for those looking to enjoy nightlife, and most businesses offer music, events, and of course ample libations nearly every day of the year.

But what is there to do in Key West when you aren’t drinking (or for those who do not drink at all)?

In this one, we thought we’d skip the bars and share some of the best things to do in Key West that do not involve alcohol!
