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

The Best View in Dumbo Now Belongs to the New Cecconi's

The Best View in Dumbo Now Belongs to the New Cecconi's

The incredibly gorgeous new Cecconi's on the Dumbo waterfront is the newest iteration of the Soho House restaurant group, owned by Nick Jones. With outposts around the world, including the flagship in London, Jones seamlessly brought Soho House's elegant vibe to Brooklyn.

My favorite part of checking out a new restaurant is taking a look at the small details. I love a good, stylish dinner party and eating out at a chic restaurant feel like a natural extension of that. More than likely you'd find me at the bar having dinner, since I prefer the ease of sitting down on my own and starting conversations with whoever's next to me.

Cecconi's describes itself as a classic Italian restaurant in an airy, sophisticated space. According to Eater, "there’s also an aperitivo menu from 4 to 7 p.m. with drinks and dishes between $4, $7, and $9". Open 7 days a week, with views of the Manhattan Skyline, the all-day small bites menu makes my heart sing!

So, yes, you should be heading over to Cecconi's. And, yes, you are going to like it. Enjoy!
