FAVORITE CITY

Anywhere in New Mexico

TRAVEL DESTINATION

Anyplace off the beaten path

HOTEL

From Villa San Michele (a 15th century monastery that overlooks Florence) to the Silver Creek Inn (a century old B&B in the middle of nowhere in Mogollon, New Mexico) – I like a balance of luxury and plain ole dirty fun

RESTAURANT

The same philosophy for hotels transfers over to cuisine – I love Le Duc in Paris for fine dining (it’s a 6 months wait) and Chico’s Tacos in El Paso (it’s the equivalent to taco stands on street corners in Mexico)

DRINK

The Last Dollar made of Vodka, St. Germain and grapefruit juice – Kelly Pfoser at Casa Tua in Aspen makes the best!

BREAKFAST

Any one of my juice recipes – my favorite is Aloe Anew
