If you’re looking for a northern escape, try a trip to Maine. Being located on the Northern East Coast, it is a perfect summer get-away for summer vacationers from the South.

As you enjoy the beautiful scenery, you should also be sure to enjoy the food of the area. An episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay featured a throwdown with the owner of The Lobster Dock, which is well known for crabcakes made mostly of Maine ingredients.

If the pampered princess needs a weekend away from normal life, why not visit the Big Apple for a delightful city escape? 

It is a treat just walking the streets and taking in the sights.  Here just some of the treats awaiting you there:  

  • Statue of Liberty
  • Ground Zero
  • Empire State Building
  • Stock Market Exchange
  • Hot Dog Stands
  • Delightful Coffee Shops
  • Ford Theatre
  • Macy’s Department Store
  • Time Square
  • Paramount Building
  • Toys-R-Us

New York City isn’t that far from Atlantic City for your inner gambler.


New York is a representation of the “melting pot” that America is known as. It’s a good opportunity to try something a bit different from another culture. I recently watched an episode of “Throw Down” with Bobby Flay, which in which he challenged the owners of Caracas Arepa Bar to a throw down. The results looked delicions. I definitely plan to give them a try the next time I visit NYC!

What’s an Arepa?

Gift It!

You’ll proabably want to save this type of gift for someone special.  You’re looking at $500-$1000 for this get-away, unless you happen to stumble across a last-minute special.  Of course, the more you want to do and the fancier the hotel, the more it will cost you.  At any rate if you can spare the splurge, this one is fun!
