One World Trade Center in NYC

This past week, I was in NYC for work.  One of my friends who owns Victory Marketing flew me up to help manage JC Penny’s rebranding event.  They hired some high up people from Apple and…

Miami Dad courthouse building

Miami is a new city.  With virtually nothing  older than a 100 years, the rather impressive skyline is punctuated by soaring glass skyscrapers that exude a modern and fast-paced ambiance. But before all the glitz and glam which The Magic City has become known for, Miami was the end of the line, literally.
Miami’s first boom came after […]

Nightlife (pic from Lela Luxe)

The city that never sleeps? Well, who can blame New Yorkers when there are nightclubs to see and be seen in, toe-tapping rhythms escaping from basement bars and breaking indie acts gracing the stage of…

A cheesesteak at Pat's in South Philly

Whenever someone finds out that I’m from Philadelphia, I either get, “I’ve never been there, but I’ve been to Boston, New York and Washington D.C.” (screw you), or, “Phillllyyyy, Pat’s or Geno’s?” (screw you again). …

Arepas in Caracas

The following is a guest post from Victoria Serra.  She is the creator of It’s in Miami, an online resource for all things Miammmmiiii.  She was born in Venezuela, and she wrote this post to…

Factory workers in Bogota

I love Craigslist.  While it still looks like it was designed by some amateur in his basement in 1998, it has provided me with a wealth of opportunities from furnishing and renting my apartment, endless fun…

How to pour a Boddingtons the right way

So I went out for dinner with a couple friends of mine from college last night to one of the only breweries in Miami, Gordon Biersch.  After a couple Hefeweizens we decided to go walk over to…

Beautiful Street in Athens Greece

My Aunt Randy recently went on a trip to Athens, Greece. She’s pretty cool (she even has a Wikipedia)! so I asked her if she would write something up for The World or Bust on what her perceptions…

Cool art at Art Basel Miami 2011

So it’s my favorite time of the year in Miami, the humidity is gone, it’s 75 degrees every day and the sun shines perpetually. The “Winter” event season has begun and I’m straight chillen.
Art Basel Miami Beach has begun, and for the next 4 days, every artist, socialite, hipster, cheapo, wino, student and mutant will […]

Here are some pics from Downtown Philadelphia (known as Center City).  As you can see, I like skyscrapers. Believe it or not, there was actually a “Gentleman’s Agreement” in Philly (up until it was broken…

I love Thanksgiving. It’s a holiday about be being thankful for what you have in life,  minus the fact that Jesus, Allah, God or Shiva had anything to do with it (at least in my…

When I first moved to Miami 5 years ago, I was surprised to learn that there are not 4 seasons like I was used to in Philadelphia.  In fact, the seasons here aren’t determined by…

After spending four days in Sofia, I needed to get the F*** out for a minute.  My new friend Téodora who I actually met through CouchSurfing (check out that website if you don’t know what it is!)…

The final leg of my two week travel to Eastern Europe culminated in Sofia, Bulgaria.  I took the bus from Plovdiv which took about two hours and offered some pretty nice scenery.  Bulgarians have the…

Plovdiv, Bulgaria is a really nice place to visit after being in a bustling city.  It is the second largest city in Bulgaria, but is still rather small and relaxed.  The population of the entire…

  So I began my journey westward from Turkey to Bulgaria yesterday, and after hearing how miserable the bus ride is, I decided to take the train. The train left Istanbul at 10 PM and…
