“Best $2 I Ever Spent!” Kids Cheese Runza And Fries Over PMc
[Kids Cheese Runza and Fries over PMc. Photos by Rachelle Hruska]
Go HERE for more photos from my adventure home.
Runzas are just one of the things I enjoyed on my trip home to Nebraska. Also, my ticket home cost well under $2k. In fact, I didn’t even come close to spending that much money the entire week I was there. And, not only did I get to enjoy Oktoberfest, the annual holiday taken ever so seriously in Omaha, I got in a nephew’s fourth bday party, a brother’s homecoming (including outfit shopping), a sushi adventure, TWO football games (Friday Night Light’s style), AND a fishing trip! Click below for a video of the Oktoberfest adventure, where only $2 got you some utra exclusive German beer.

Our Man At Burning Man
Go Here for more photos from Andrew Freston
How do I even begin to describe Burning Man? It’s ironic because my friends who went there last year had the same problem. You really can’t describe all of it; you must experience it. But on your first day, you feel as if you were blasted into space and you landed on the moon, to only come across the biggest intergalactic party ever. If you don’t dress up in crazy outfits or don’t dress up at all (naked) you simply do not fit in.
People go all out and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Art Cars that drive around the Playa keeping the party going strong. I was in the Robot Heart camp and we had a London double-decker bus outfitted with a 20,000-watt stereo system and TV, it was the loudest Art Car on the Playa. There was another Art Car designed as a rubber ducky which had a platform to hold over 200 Burners while it drove around, which was pretty impressive too.

A Novice Learns To Trim A 505, And Other Newport Adventures…
From: hamptons.guestofaguest.com:
This is a 505 sail boat. It is one of the most complicated boats to sail. With just a little bit of help, I took one out for a spin yesterday in Newport’s beautiful waters (that’s me out on the trapeze harness). Here’s some more things I learned from my weekend in Rhode Island:
Top 10 things I learned in Newport, R.I. this weekend:
10. The Folk Festival is quite the party. You missed it already but the Jazz Festival you can still catch, which I hear is equally as fun. Just take it from me…you’re better off watching from afar.
9.The “boom boom room” downstairs at the Clark Cooke House is apparently quite the scene.
8. The New York Yacht Club has the perfect hill for sliding down at fast speeds…
7. Real sailors drink Dark and Stormys…How to make a Dark and Stormy:
* 2 oz Gosling’s Black Seal rum,
* 3 oz Barrit’s ginger beer
* lime wedge for garnish if desired.
Christine’s North Fork Foodie Tour: From Sag To Shelter To Greenport
The South Fork has some amazing local resources for the culinary aficionado, but those in the know look to the North Fork for some really remarkable finds.
Every summer when time allows I get in the car and head up to the North Fork from Sag to Shelter to Greenport. It sounds tedious but when you have the day to explore it is a wonder way to enjoy the East End away from 27 and from the crowds.

Live From PJ’s Pancake House, Princeton, NJ
Coffee today was at PJ”s Pancake house. From the Hamptons to Princeton, the prices have dropped but the carbs have risen for me. Though it”s been months since I have been here on the weekend, I am positive the lines outside this pancake house, where droves of Ivy League pancake lovers flock to enjoy stacks of pancakes, (Einstein himself is rumored to have favored the spot), are still down the block.

The Richards Sisters Take On The Glastonbury Festival
[Theodore and Alexandra Richards with Nur Khan at the Glastonbury Festival]
You know how when you meet someone and you instantaneously know that they have never had to work at being “cool”? This is how I perceive the Richards sisters. No surprise that they are hitting up hip performing arts festivals with Rose bar”s Nur Khan.
What is the Glastonbury Festival? It”s the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world and a template for all the festivals that have come after it…

“Best $2K I Ever Spent!”
[Different model, same glaze]
Today”s winner for “Best $2k” came straight from Denver”s own 5 Degrees club, (yes there are clubs in Denver), where apparently they were having a little fashion show. I”m 100% positive that his front row tickets were considerably less than the entrance prices out east, but, as you can see by his FROZEN STARE, whatever price he spent was priceless. Here”s more into the nightlife of a Denver, Colorado club:

4th Of July In LA With Scott And Naeem
Go HERE for more pictures from Scott and Naeem
Every year, we take a fourth of July road trip and this year we decided to head to Los Angeles. We arrived thursday afternoon and before we checked into our hotel we headed to In-N-Out to fill up on our favorite snack. We’re not big fast food eaters but we can’t stop craving the double cheeseburgers made animal style. Afterwards, we headed up the street and checked into our room at the historic Roosevelt Hotel.

What You Aren’t Missing In Ibiza
Downbythehipster posted this Ibiza image perhaps hoping to invoke some sort of envy in his small readership who may have flocked to the Hamptons instead, or to make all five of them feel as if he knows what he is talking about. Since he doesn”t, we”ll help him out. Hotspots across the Mediterranean Sea are riddled with “gift girls” throughout the summer reaching a highpoint in August.
There is nothing unique or fleeting about it. If you have the euros and you want to pay, you too can be a “hitter” for a stint in Ibiza or Monaco or wherever.
Happy 4th Of July From Miami

Thankfully, the party goers from Miami decided to stay south this year. Things looked sizzling hot at the 4th of July Pool Party at the Surfcomber.
Like it or not, these are our fellow Americans and they were ready to celebrate our Independence Day in style.
Day Tripper: Volume Two: Sleepy Hollow, New York
I suppose my little travel guide for July 4th is turning into a discover New York series, so please forgive me if you don’t love NY (not just tourists have those t-shirts). But, instead of looking elsewhere for new and exciting places, this series will open your eyes to all the beauty and exciting places hiding right under your nose. Second Stop: Sleepy Hollow, NY
