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!

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