Posted on June 15, 2018 by Emily Wasserman

Posted on March 6, 2018 by Emily Wasserman

Seattle will always have a special place in my heart. I showed up for the first time a couple years ago to visit one of my best friends from grad school, Stephanie, and my brother. At the time, she had … Continue reading →

Best Dining Moments of 2017

Posted on December 13, 2017 by Emily Wasserman

I’m usually not a fan of end-of-the-year roundups, especially because they tend to happen a few weeks before the end of the year. There’s still life to live, people. Also, some of them tend to be dripping with nostalgia. I’m … Continue reading →

NYC

Posted on November 1, 2017 by Emily Wasserman

When I think of New York, I think of music. Maybe it’s because there are so many songs about the city. Maybe it’s because I constantly have earphones in to drown out the sound of traffic. But for whatever reason, … Continue reading →

Shaw, St. Louis

Posted on October 10, 2017 by Emily Wasserman

Shaw is one of my favorite neighborhoods in St. Louis. I like it for a bunch of reasons, but one of them is that it’s still relatively secluded. When you go to Shaw, you’re walking into a community. Everyone is … Continue reading →

Banana Date Smoothie

Posted on October 3, 2017 by Emily Wasserman

Los Angeles and San Diego

Posted on September 19, 2017 by Emily Wasserman

When I was little I wanted to move to Southern California. I wanted to be an actress for a while and I pictured myself living in a shoebox apartment and going on auditions. It seemed like a rough life, but … Continue reading →
