WHAT’S ON Courtney Ruscin
Instagram name: @courtneya2182 and @sundaysarrow My favorite escape:Long Beach Island, NJ. When I get there: Spotty cell service and my dad’s refusal to have wifi in the house forces detachment and relaxation! Because of, and despite, that I love to spend time with my family, having Uno and gin rummy battles. I go for morning runs that usually end at Ferrara’s Bakery (home of the world’s best jelly doughnut) – which is totally counter-intuitive yet so rewarding. I spend all day watching the surfers and having paddle ball tournaments on the beach, walking back home to catch the always breathtaking sunsets, before a great seafood dinner. Postcard to Hell’s Kitchen:Living that LBI life is easy today. There is a cool ocean breeze, the waves are perfect for riding, and the live music at Tiki Joe’s starts at 5pm. Wish you were here, but we’ll have a few Coronas in your honor. Vacation hashtags: #jerseygem #18milesofhappiness

Instagram name: @Maura_Patricia_ Lynch My favorite escape: Anywhere with good food. When I get there: I tend to survey everything carefully before I choose my first taste. On this trip I got off at the wrong ferry terminal on the way to Smorgasburg, but decided to stay and check out the Brooklyn flea market instead. Postcard to Hell’s Kitchen: Sometimes getting off on the wrong stop is the right stop. Vacation hashtags: #bestfriesever #trufflefries #oopswrongstop #getoutofthehood #touristforaday
