After a Summer of work, work, and more work we decided to take a few days of R&R before the holiday season. September through November is considered the off-season for Mexico, so it’s a good time to catch decent deals on travel and accommodations. Unfortunately, this is also the hurricane season which could be disastrous if attempting to travel during this time. Throwing caution to the wind, we booked our trip for late September and ended up with a storm-free week of fun and frivolity. The forecast literally called for Thunderstorms every damn day! It probably only rained for 20 minutes during the entire five days we were in Mexico. Otherwise, it was sunny and hot. We divided our trip into two parts; we spent two days exploring the streets of Playa Del Carmen before heading to The Grand at Moon Palace resort.

One of France’s favorite street food, the humble kebab is now available in an elevated atmosphere. Kut takes the kebab off the street and into a brick and mortar dining room with modern decor and a cafeteria-like atmosphere. The concept comes from world traveler and restauranteur Henda Miliani, who seized the opportunity to bring her favorite street food to the big apple. Executive Chef Flourent De Brunelis has over fifteen years of experience in the culinary world and previously worked under former White House
