Two Flower Cafe is one of the best dining experiences to be had in downtown Great Barrington. Delicious drinks, fresh food, and a quaint seating area completed the peaceful atmosphere.

Now, I've tried a lot of food in LA. Countless boba shops, infinite acai places, and really just all the trending places that you see TikTokers rave about. After trying all these sweet snacks, I found myself going back to Wushiland Boba and Oakberry Acai.

Colorful cakes of soaps shaped like downy clouds, tiny pink rosebuds, tarot cards, jars of face masks, “bath potions,” scrubs, salts, and oils – meet Witch Baby, a gothic, magical twist on traditional selfcare.

My cousin and I have found a newfound love for thrifting. It's an eco-friendly way to find pre-loved statement pieces. Naturally, last time we met up, we had to visit a local thrift store - ever since that escapade, I've been searching for ones nearby me. However, I was rather delighted to rediscover one right under my nose. It's one of those places you know about, but once you walk in, you just CAN'T believe you haven't visited.  Say hello to the Junior League Summit Thrift Shop, quaintly housed in Summit at 37 Deforest Avenue.

Ah, bubble tea. Just thinking about that seamless combination of tea and sweet tapioca pearls makes me happy.

And whether you’re a boba connoisseur or just starting out on your bubble tea journey, here’s a list of 3 Places to Cure Your Boba Craving.

Where is the flair in ice cream? Where is the pizzazz? If you’re like me and feel the urge to ridicule an inanimate food based on its appearance, ridicule no more. Ice cream is no longer boring. How did I make this discovery? By walking into Z-Rolls in Summit NJ, at 452 Springfield Avenue. This workspace makes a very special type of ice cream - one rolled into ribbon-like shapes! The concoction is made by mixing any add-ins (such as Oreo pieces) into the base, chopping and spreading the mix onto a cold metal slate, and finally rolling the ice cream into individual pieces. Delicious and definitely fun!

In a world turned upside-down by a series of unexpected events, the business and working world has changed. After the past two years, many workers find themselves feeling as though their work and home lives have combined – but it doesn’t have to stay that way. A relatively modern concept, co-working spaces offer a ‘no strings attached’ approach to the work day. Summit, NJ’s The Co-Co is an exceptional co-working space – providing a light-filled, impeccably clean, and beautifully designed open workspace, as well as a strong and diverse community.

When I think of summer, I think of swimming in the ocean, long walks on the beach, and ice cream. Ice cream is my absolute favorite summer treat. However, I have a slight problem: I'm allergic to dairy and nuts! That means I'm constantly on the hunt to find the best non-dairy ice cream out there, and after years of vigorous searches, I've finally found it: Zita's Homemade Ice Cream at 1790 Springfield Ave, New Providence, New Jersey. So, I'd like to highlight two delicious flavors that I've absolutely fallen in love with: Blood Orange Sorbet and Vanilla Oat Milk.

Looking out at glittering water, Édith Piaf’s Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien playing softly in the background as I sip on a sparkling glass of lemonade – no, I’m not in France. I’m at the Liberty Bistro in the Financial District of New York City.

Liberty Bistro is a fairly new and beautiful brasserie stationed next to Battery Park, overlooking the Hudson River. The servers are warm and welcoming and the authentic French cuisine is spectacular. It was a delight to dine there, and I believe the experience is definitely worth the money.

The first municipality in the state to recognize gay marriage, South Orange is accepting and welcoming towards anyone lucky enough to stop by. Additionally, they offer many different restaurants that satisfy a multitude of culinary tastes!

We all know that summer means all sorts of things, like no school, tank-top season, and about a million people starting sentences with  “Ugh it’s so hot I’m dyyyyyying”.  But for me, the beginning of summer means one thing: It’s time to stuff my face with sugar and have fun doing it. So, here are 3 amazing places in Summit, New Jersey that are sure to satisfy even the most stubborn sweet tooth. 

These days, many Summit residents are opting to eat in the streets, sitting down for dinner at one of our stellar local restaurants. I spoke with Dylan Baker, owner of Summit House and of BarBacoa, about his thoughts on downtown Summit’s decision to take tables under the sun.

It’s no secret that I am a total bookworm! I mean for goodness sake, I run a whole blog where I make drink and book pairings! One thing that Liza and I have loved most about our time in the Berkshires is discovering all of the amazing local book stores. Amazon has put a huge damper on the book industry, and so many mom and pop shops are struggling to survive.

To kick off The Berkshires Reel, I couldn’t think of a better business to highlight than the one that made me fall in love with The Berkshires! So basically, you can count this as my love letter to The Southfield Store…
