Located between First Avenue and Avenue A, The Baths have been an institution in lower Manhattan since 1892. It’s a place that every man who lives in or visits New York should put on the top of his priority list. It’s old, it’s falling apart a little, and it’s filled with old men. Are you sold [...]

Greg Michaels — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 23:43:34 +0000

Our summer vacation this year is a trip to Halifax, where I was raised for a few days, then we’re off to Edmundston, New Brunswick. We’re bringing my mother in-law and she is a first timer to Halifax. We’ll probably check out Peggy’s Cove, the downtown waterfront and drive by all of the places that meant something to me. For example my old schools, my childhood home, maybe a few work places too.

(So many travel shows do that for some reason) And the food looked great..BUT, I do have a bone to pick with the Travel Channel.
