Georgetown + Capitol Hill, D.C. I don’t do Halloween, but I do enjoy other people’s commitment to it.

A little spooky, a little cute, and a whole lot of effort. 🎃👻

Some people in D.C. really don’t mess around when it comes to Halloween decorations. And I’m here for it.

A few favorite stoops, houses, and spooky little details spotted around the city this fall.

Hartford, Connecticut. A quick escape, a little exploring, and not nearly enough eating. 😏

Didn’t have time to see or taste nearly as much as I’d hoped, especially when it comes to Hartford’s food scene. Clearly, my priorities need some work. Or I need a longer weekend.

A few snapshots / recap from this little Connecticut escape. 🍂

Places are tagged on the photos. 🙌🏻

I’m weak for pumpkins on stoops. At this point, it’s becoming a personality trait. 🎃🍂

Another pretty D.C. doorway, another charming fall stoop, another photo for the collection.

New York City in the fall. 🍂

Pumpkin-covered stoops, colorful leaves, fog rolling over Central Park, rainy streets, and perfect golden sunsets. Apparently, NYC decided to showcase its entire fall collection in one weekend.

A little moody, a little dramatic, occasionally sunny. Basically, New York and I have a lot in common. 😬

A few favorite autumn views from wandering around the city. No itinerary, just pretty streets, and beautiful brownstones.

New York City, we still have chemistry. ♥️

Four years apart, and apparently all it takes to rekindle the romance is a few good restaurants, some beautiful bars, a little culture, and an unreasonable amount of walking.

A weekend of eating, drinking, museum hopping, and admiring gorgeous interiors. Just enough culture to pretend this wasn’t mostly about eating and drinking.

NYC, you’ve still got it. Not that you needed me to tell you. 😏

A few favorite stops from the weekend.

A little rain, a lot of pumpkins, and just the right amount of gloom. 🎃☔️

Some people wait for the sun to come out. I apparently wait for the skies to turn moody.

Fall in Washington, D.C., looking rather lovely.

Just casually judging Washington, D.C. neighborhoods by their pumpkin stoop game. 🎃

Fall has officially arrived, the pumpkins are multiplying, and some of these front doors are showing off.

So far, so good. More to come.

Chicago skyline, two moods.

Daytime: cute.
Sunset: showing off.

Same view from the Oz Park area. A few hours apart. Equally committed to getting my attention. 😏

Buffalo, NY. You were a pleasant surprise. 👀

A little downtown exploring, charming neighborhoods, Niagara Falls (both 🇨🇦 and 🇺🇸 sides) doing the absolute most, and enough restaurant stops to justify another trip.

So happy I finally made it to the Falls. And Buffalo? You deserve a little more attention.

20 photos, plenty of places worth bookmarking (all tagged on the photos), and absolutely no regrets about the amount of food consumed.

Le Diplomate, Washington, D.C.

A little French charm, a lot of attitude, and a façade that knows exactly how good it looks.

Even the Frenchman had to stop and take a picture. And trust me, we’re not easily impressed. 😛

Terrace season is almost over, so get your French fix while you can.

Assuming you can get a table. 😏

Cafe Deko, Chicago.
A weekend in the Windy City, when I got to catch up with @sdamiani and @leylalately in the beautiful @cafe_deko_20 (Printer’s Row location, only 1 geo tag available).

Long overdue chatting sesh. Then I spent an unreasonable amount of time photographing this corner.

Came for the company, stayed for the interiors.
Because friendship is important, but so is good design.

Sorry ladies, you were lovely too! 😛

A few Washington, D.C. city scenes before the pumpkins take over and everything turns orange. 🎃

Also a reminder that D.C. is more than monuments: pretty streets, old houses, hidden corners, and neighborhoods quietly showing off.

Enjoy the green. Its days are numbered. 😛
