Ups and Downs is a blog about my life and as it happens, it's come to focus on a variety of topics close to my heart such as restaurants, hotels, and nightlife in New Jersey, New York, and Philly (hopefully Orlando & Pittsburgh soon, too) sports, music, movies, whatever! Anything’s fair game... I hope this blog will give tips when planning a birthday, meal, or trip, inspire you to try something new, or at the very least entertain. Happy Internets!
About Me
