Loving this virtual tasting experience from @nyscraftbeer - what a great idea! Bringing travel to your house with local food and drinks 🍺 Our friends signed up for the experience and brought the box of goodies to our house. Here’s what was included: 6 cans of Live From Somewhere, the collaboration double dry hopped imperial IPA 2 cans from @hudsonvalleybrewery: Willow Blade, a lager with rice and honey Minuet, a sour DIPA 2 cans from @otherhalfnyc: All Citra Everything, a double dry hopped imperial IPA Strata Mosaic, another double dry hopped imperial IPA 2 cans from @prisoncitybeer: Elegant Pride, a hazy pale ale with mango tea and lemon zest Wham Whams, an imperial stout with toasted coconut and vanilla bean There’s also some goodies to snack on! Roasted red pepper cheese from @murandacheese Oil from @hotcrispyoil Genoa salami from @schraderfarms And dessert from @sweetonchocolate Throughout the zoom, the brewers are answering questions and doing brewery tours. Great way to spend a Saturday stuck at home.

What’s your favorite New York winery? Tag them in the comments to let them know!

So grab your best gal pals or your loved one and visit a new winery this weekend. Not from New York? Tag your favorite local winery so I can check it out when we can travel again 🥂 . . #winery #newyorkwine #nywine #thinknydrinkny #newyorkstate #iloveny #tasteny #fingerlakes #fingerlakesny #flx #flxwine #winecountry #vineyard #femaletravelbloggers #yesny #newyorkonly #senecalake #girlslovetravel #thattravelblog #newyorkblogger #nyblogger #drinklocal #dametravelerfoodie #instafood #instawine #winelover #thisisupstate #upstateny #upstatenewyork

Finally made it back out to Cazenovia this weekend to check out @meierscreekbrewing! (Previously Empire Farm Brewery) Let me just say that the beers are on point! And they have something for everyone: IPA, stout, pilsner, lager, sour, kolsch... you really can’t go wrong. My favorites? The Honey Kolsch and the El Gordito - a chocolate churro stout 😋 Just like the previous owners, they partner with the farm across the street to source their Wagyu beef - which makes for some INCREDIBLE burgers! They also have some great pizzas, wings, Korean beef tacos, and a flavorful fried chicken sandwich. The building is also just as beautiful as ever. You can’t go wrong enjoying a beer while looking out over the snow-covered hills. Perfection! Breweries, restaurants, and small businesses are struggling right now, so get our there and support them! . . #gifted #brewery #newyorkbeer #nybeer #thinknydrinkny #newyorkstate #iloveny #tasteny #femaletravelbloggers #yesny #newyorkonly #roadtripusa #girlslovetravel #thattravelblog #newyorkblogger #nyblogger #supportlocal #instabeer #dametravelerfoodie #foodie #instafood #nyloveswinter #thisisupstate #upstateny #upstatenewyork #craftbeer #craftbeergirl #craftbeergirls #beerselfie #craftbeerbabe

Happy Mardi Gras! Laissez les bonnes temps rouler! Hopefully you're safe and healthy at home with your family stuffing your face full of delicious food. But secretly? I'm wishing I was back in New Orleans, where I celebrated my 30th a few years ago with one of my best friends. Unbelievable food, haunted cemeteries, beignets, bayou tours, animal encounters, beer, beignets, movie scenes filming, Bourbon Street, and did I mention beignets?! So until it's safe to travel there again, enjoy learning about the famous cemeteries in NOLA and the historical people buried there. Head over to the blog and search “New Orleans” or copy the link below. https://wanderlust-onabudget.com/new-orleans-cemeteries/ . . #neworleans #nola #visitnola #visitneworleans #mardigras #fattuesday #throwbacktuesday #laissezlesbontempsrouler #takemeback #travelblog #sheisnotlost #femaletravelbloggers #girlswhotravel #girlslovetravel #gltlove #louisianatravel #visittheusa #roadtrippers #roadtrip #wanderlust #travelsomeday #cafebeignet #beignets

How are you holding up in this crazy world? Because, let’s face it - it’s hard. From the pandemic and the politics to the economy and unusual work situations, all on top of our own personal struggles, it is tough. We all need a little more love and light in our lives. Today marks one year since I lost my cousin, one of my beat friends and closest confidants. Little did I know that that was the beginning of a very long and very difficult year. And no, just because it’s 2021 things aren’t all perfect and back to normal. We all need to come together and build each other up, not tear each other down. So while you might have grown old of social distancing and zoom meetings, it’s all still just as important as ever. Check in our your friends and family. Make an extra plate at dinner and bring it to your neighbor. Take a mental health day from work. Most importantly, check in on yourself. If you find you’re struggling at all, know that you’re not alone. Know that there are people out there who love you and want to support you. And even if you don’t know me personally, my inbox is always open. This photo is a throwback to better times visiting some of my best friends in Baltimore. I’d give anything to go visit them right now, but I know it’s not the most responsible thing to do to travel. But if you are in Baltimore, or are planning to visit once it is safe to do so, check out the @baltimoreloveproject by @michaelowenart. The murals can be found all over the city. Because we all need a little more love in our lives. Hang in there, friends. 🖤 . . #baltimore #baltimoreloveproject #lovemore #loveyourself #mentalhealthawareness #visitbaltimore #visitbmore #charmcity #maryland #visitmaryland #streetart #streetartchat #girlswhotravel #femaletravelbloggers #femaletraveler #womenwhotravel #girlslovetravel #letsgo #localguides #streetartgirls #letsguide #thattravelblog #streetartofficial #wanderlust #muralsofinstagram #visittheusa #loveisallyouneed #loveisallweneed #loveislove
