Right…so in approximately 24 hours, the weekend will be upon us.

Ergo, I bring you my top 3 recommended places from Urban Daddy to fill your weekend with good times and better memories:

The Rooftop at Jane Hotel – Picture it – Sipping choice brandy while your love interest has a dirty martini, the view of the Hudson and Jersey in perfect view from your ultra cozy corner seat. No? No love interest? Well then, how about 5 or 6 friends sitting around a large lounge table and making toasts with Jager bombs to the good life? The Rooftop is essentially a choice drinking spot that has been in the works since 2008 and just recently opened last year late 2012. It sits atop The Jane hotel, and can be found by heading to the 6th floor. For more details, check it out on UD here and The Jane hotel website.

San Francisco. When I think San Francisco, I think art, culture, and little hills that feel like you’re hiking in the Himalayas…but mostly art. Which brings us to Photobooth: San Fran’s first Polaroid Portait Studio.
Talk about kicking it old school. Being a fan of photography and a photographer myself, I’ve honestly gotta say, this is one place you can’t afford to pass up. It’s great for friends, dating, or when you just wanna bring out your creative side. The place is literally a photo studio comprised of white walls and lighting equipment, allowing you to get creative with polaroids or tintype photographs (tin type is an early version of photography, google it and you’ll find some pretty cool stuff), with Polaroid cameras for sale plus other accessories. For full details, I recommend checking out the website, and a more detailed description on the UD article. The place is epic, you don’t wanna miss it.

I was very good friends with someone who was a resident in Las Vegas once, a friendship I’ll never forget…they were the definition of a good time (*wink*), and knowing how to find a good time. If you’ve ever been to Las Vegas, you know the nights out are as crazy as the gambling and Elvis Presley weddings. Yet what about when you want something more refined, more, low key? This, is where Cognac Lounge at Caesars comes in.Though it may just be one little room within Restaurant Guy Savoy, they have a rather impressive, and rotating cognac menu, some dating back as old as a century. So if you’re trying to make an impression on that first date with a seductive, one-on-one setting, or just seeking some quality alone time to appreciate the finer aspects of alcohol, you can check out the original website and more details here, on the UD site.

And that’s about it…I really hope you guys have a great weekend and above all, make it one to remember. In the meantime, look out for Musings: Episode 1 – this Sunday.

Stay awesome.

A mind that is …

Musings: Quote Wednesdays….

“A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Pretty relatable, don’t you think? It really hit home with me when I read it.

As humans – the minute we progress – regression is unfathomable, hardly an option. Forward is the direction life was designed for – not up. When people say, “the only way to go is up,” I think “the only way to go is forward.”

Because the thing about going up is…there’s a gravity factor. 😉

Musings: The Prologue

Ever wake up one morning, look out the window, gazing out at a clear blue sky and think to yourself – “Life’s pretty good right now, but there’s more to life than this mundane routine….and it’s gotta go. Starting now.” – and then realized…you weren’t sure where to start?

My first revelation like this happened early in life…..I was 5.

Fast forward years later, and in my 20s I find myself inadvertently holding true to this way of thinking, constantly setting and reaching mini milestones laid out for myself.

I’m sure everyone’s felt this way at some point…the tingle you get driving down the road when a ’67 AC 427 Shelby Cobra breezes by. The daydream of summer nights in Fiji that distract you at work from noticing the bitter fact it’s only been 5 minutes since you clocked in, with 7 hours and 55 minutes to go.

It’s the feeling of knowing that there are more things to do, more places to go, and more people to meet out there than what many have been conditioned to settle for. I’ve discussed and debated this for a while now, discovering new philosophies and ideologies in my adventures of travel and entrepreneurship….and every time learning something new.

I figure it’s time to set a new milestone, and I figure why not start here. I’ve blogged on and off for the past few years, and finally find myself at WordPress.

This should be fun.
