Hi, I'm Maia.

(Pronounced Maya)

I'm a visually obsessed, native New Yorker, who's always searching for the coolest in design, food & travel.

Over the last 5 years, I left a well established career in healthcare to pursue my passion for design and writing. This website is my little piece of inspiration, thoughts & adventures as I seek out the most creative spaces & experiences around the world.

I hope you find this inspiring & share with me what inspires you as well! I'd love to hear from you. Thank you for visiting!

xx,

Maia

Jul 30 A Quick Stop at The John Dory Oyster Bar

Last week I stopped by The John Dory Oyster Bar for a quick drink. It's adjacent to the Ace Hotel on 29th and Broadway, so if you are staying there or happen to be in the area, give it a try! The decor is energetic, fun and chic, much like the Ace Hotel itself. There is a clear nod to seaside culture, with a color palette consisting of cool blues and greens, and a $2 happy hour oyster special anyone would love! Let me know if you give it a try!

Maia
