Film photos from an intimate, socially-distanced dining 5-course experience at Eataly’s Bar Milano from a few weeks back. The array of cocktails was so visually appealing that I couldn’t stop photographing them. I never take for granted experiences like this that I get to have by being in this digital industry. It still positively overwhelms me even after many years. These past months in NYC has made me miss the time abroad, but it also made me realize how lucky I am to have had those experiences because of the hard work put in. I didn’t start traveling much until I started my blog and moved East Coast in 2011, and my first big trip to Europe was a dream come true. It felt like the gears of everything I was working towards were finally moving. With big travel on pause right now, it’s a relief to know that a taste of Italy is just a subway ride away. Next time we are back, it will be for takeout.
