NYC Eats – March 2025
Hi, friends! I’m here to document another trip I went on this month. You know I was in San Antonio last weekend… this weekend, I was in NYC. Now, I wouldn’t normally do out-of-state trips back to back but I booked this NYC weekend trip, a few months after the San Antonio trip was already planned, for a concert which ended up being indefinitely postponed (I am still very sad about this 🥺). Anyways, we made the most of it by eating lots of food and seeing a Broadway show instead (watched Six which was different and fun)! We ate a lot and we ate nonstop so brace yourself!! Our…

Winter Weekend in Wilmington
Hi, friends! Rex and I took a very quick weekend trip to Wilmington during President’s Day Weekend, and it was the loveliest time! I have been wanting to visit Wilmington since my very first time just a couple of years ago, and it was Rex’s first time in Wilmington actually. We went for just Saturday and Sunday and decided to not rush getting there. Leaving from Durham, we arrived just around lunchtime and went straight for CheeseSmith. Their Landfall location is pretty new, I think. It’s basically in a strip mall so it was very easy to get to and find parking in. Somehow, the grilled cheeses were better than…

Our First Ever Beach Week! Pt.2 Outer Banks
Hi, friends! Back today (better late than never!!!) with part 2 of Our First Ever Beach Week! For the second leg of the trip, we booked a place in the town of Manteo in the Outer Banks. Manteo is a charming little coastal town. We were in walking distance (or a short driving distance) from downtown which we walked around every day while we were in town. Downtown Books was one of the cute local shops in Downtown Manteo. It is on the smaller side but it was packed with adorable bookish items and a great selection of titles. Of course, I had to leave with a souvenir–I picked up…

Our First Ever Beach Week! Pt. 1 Beaufort
Hi, friends! I’m here to recap our first ever beach week, or rather the first part of it. Since Rex and I have been working from home full-time since the beginning of the pandemic (we were hybrid worker bees before), we had tossed around the idea of working from not-home, and it finally happened! Although I’m more of a mountain person (or 계곡 person IYKYK), Rex has been wanting to go to the beach so we decided to visit a couple of coastal towns in the state. We loved Beaufort last time we visited and have been meaning to go back the last couple of years so that was a…

Charlottesville, Round Three!
Hi, friends! I was in Charlottesville the last few days–this was my third time visiting, and it might have been my favorite trip yet! Naturally, I wanted to share about the trip with you (as I did after my first trip to Charlottesville back in 2020). We (me, Rex, my sister Jiyoung, and her husband Daniel) spent a total of three days and two nights in Charlottesville, and that felt like a good amount of time where we did a ton and didn’t feel rushed or bored. We drove up from Durham Thursday morning and headed straight to Thai ’99. We went there during my sister’s bachelorette trip back in…
