Henrietta’s Table, The Charles Hotel, Cambridge, MA USA

The Microsoft Outlook Calendar invite arrived in my inbox with a date, time, and place for our meeting: 12:30pm at Henrietta’s Table.  Excellent. I had never dined at Henrietta’s Table, but had heard fantastic reviews. My only excuse was that I went to high-school in Cambridge and after graduating, tended to avoid the Harvard Square […]

Hilton MSP Airport Mall of America, Minneapolis, MN, USA

 “Looks like we won’t be making it to Jackson Hole tonight,” my father said in disappointment as we scrambled last minute to find flights that might work.

Acting Café, Terminal 1, Shanghai/Pudong Airport, China

All I wanted was Starbucks. That’s it. I was flying from Beijing to Okinawa, connecting through Shanghai, and with a 4 hour layover all I wanted was to sit at a Starbucks and sip on an iced latte while answering emails. I was in the international terminal of Pudong afterall, this shouldn’t be a big […]
