    First Timer’s Guide to Hudson Valley & Catskills (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Upstate New York promised all of my favorite things… touching grass, cute boutique hotels, quaint shopping streets, charming farm stands, damn good food, and even better antiques. I am happy to report that the trip lived up to all of my expectations, and then some. Below, you’ll find a first timer’s guide to Hudson Valley & the Catskills. As is always the case with a TTS guide, I conducted an excessive amount of research pre-trip, saw every single location for myself IRL, and whittled it down to

    The Food City You’re Probably Overlooking (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    It’s Philly. Philadelphia, PHL, the City of Brotherly Love. As LA’s food scene continues to bore me to no end, I can’t help but pay extra attention to the cities that are doing it right - innovation, passion, experimentation. Unique flavors and concepts, something that has an edge. People that are thinking a little differently. I spoke to this last week re: my life-changing meal at Stissing House.

    This week, we welcomed three new bakeries to the city of Santa Monica. Because I am secretly competitive and need to know everything first, I visited all three over the course of 4 days - I had to get first glimpse, up close and personal, IRL, to see and experience for myself.Something I pride myself on for Ticket to Sarahdise is prioritizing on the ground reporting.

    The Best Places to Be Bored in LA (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    I’ve been thinking a lot about boredom and “underconsumption” lately, as I enter a new chapter of my life that (I hope) will be filled with time to be bored.Dopamine culture (see below for some wonderful words from TJ Power) pushes us to seek out constant entertainment and stimulation. We’ve been led to believe that scrolling = relax and unwind time, when in reality - it’s far from it. <a class="embedded-post" href="https://tjpower.substack.com/p/weve-normalised-overconsumption-podcasts?utm_sour
