On a river cruise through Bordeaux, I learned to savor the slow route to enjoy great French wine, food, and charming towns.

Gorgeous fall trip idea: Weir Farm National Historical Park preserves the Wilton, CT, home & landscape American impressionist J. Alden Weir loved—it supports today’s artists too. Story in Side of Culture: https://t.co/RTgUfR6EaQ #findyourpark #nytravelwriters @_NatParkService

Great 5-minute trailer of upcoming film from Garden Conservancy about the house and garden of Harlem Renaissance poet & activist Anne Spencer (open by tour) in Lynchburg, VA. My story is on SideOfCulture (.com). #harlemrenaissance #visitLYH @visitLYH

Anne Spencer (1882-1975) was a Black poet and activist whose Lynchburg, VA home and garden were a creative space and an intellectual salon for Harlem Renaissance writers and civil rights activists. An inspiring place to write about! #lyhlovesyou #gardens

Toasted James Beard Foundation’s TasteTwenty chefs at cocktail party for 2023-2024 Taste America events (held in 20 cities) in NYC. Nice #vegan bites from NYC’s Cadence. JBF’s Platform space is at Market 57 at new Pier 57.

Loved writing about #FrankLloydWright and the Pope-Leighey House, a small but stunning Usonian house in Alexandria, VA, close to DC. https://t.co/DTSekzo56k

Philly’s terrific Museum of the American Revolution presents “Black Founders: The Forten Family of Philadelphia” through Nov. 26. Don’t miss this remarkable, less-known story. I covered it for Side of Culture. https://t.co/QX6qFQ3hs8 #visitphilly @AmRevMuseum #nytravelwriters

Scenes from the wonderful souks in Marrakech: poufs (unstuffed for packing), pottery, sandals. And more…The bargaining is not hard: resisting purchasing too much is! You’re bound to get lost in the mazelike alleys, so enjoy it. #Marrakech #Morocco #souk #nytravelwriters

A Moroccan cooking class at Chef Tarik’s school teaches you about Morocco’s favorite herbs and spices before you prepare three tagines and salads—and then you feast! Great experience near Marrakech: https://t.co/yPaUs4IdNe #morocco #moroccanfood

Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech is gorgeous with bamboo, cactus, bougainvillea and more, plus brilliant colors like cobalt majorelle blue. YSL and Pierre Berge restored it. To avoid big crowds, reserve ahead and go when it opens! #marrakesh #jardinmajorelle @NYTravelWriters

Hello, Marrakech! Checking out the medina as seen from the rooftop of Riad Kniza, and some gorgeous spaces in this 18th-century home-turned-inn before an alfresco dinner there on a cool evening. #Marrakech #Morocco #riadlife #nytravelwriters

Great to write about the superb new Jackie Robinson Museum in NYC. He was an activist and entrepreneur and, yes, an iconic athlete. #nytravelwriters #JackieRobinsonMuseum @JRFoundation https://t.co/2csrtuKUAA

AD calls out the splendid architecture in Buffalo for a 2023 visit, from F.L. Wright’s Martin House to the upcoming reopening of expanded Albright-Knox (now AKG) art museum. I wrote about the city for https://t.co/gO1KX3H0fi last year. @buffaloniagara @buffaloakg #inthebuf

If 2022 was the year of “revenge travel,” 2023 will no doubt be an even bigger year for travel. https://t.co/r2RX0NuyDC
