Do you enjoy traveling?

I do! It is one of my favorite hobbies that allows me to relax and refuel. Unfortunately, I do not get to do it as much as I would like due to my schedule. For instance, the last time I traveled for leisure was a year or two ago. Nevertheless, I still get to see new places within the USA as a part of my business model.

Does your work ever require you to travel outside of New York?

Yes, since many of my properties are located across the US, I am travelling frequently. I also travel frequently for out-of-state conferences, investor summits, and other industry events as well.

What was your favorite location that you visited recently?

My favorite location from these past few years would have to be Charlotte, North Carolina. As a natural-born New Yorker, most of my traditions and upbringing habits are completely different from some of the common ones in the South. So, I always enjoy getting to visit those regions and learn about our differences.

Moreover, going to Charlotte was fun simply because of the fact that the city itself is extraordinary. From the rich downtown area all the way to the gorgeous surrounding regions, there are innumerable attractions that people can visit. Not to mention that this part of North Carolina in particular, is slowly growing into the latest business epicenter where some of the largest companies are building their headquarters.

Where would you advise people to travel at least once in their life?

Although I may be a little biased, I genuinely think that everyone should visit New York City at least once. Whether it is for business or pleasure does not matter. Getting the opportunity to come to the Big Apple and witness our style of life is a one-of-a-kind experience. Additionally, it is undoubtedly one of the most unique destinations that exist in the world. So, even someone who is a seasoned traveler will be able to see things that they have never seen before.

Besides New York, I think that people who are in a position to do so should visit some of the popular cities in Europe. A great example would be the capital of France, Paris. I doubt that Paris needs much introduction, however, as most people are well aware of the things that it has to offer. Other notable destinations, in my opinion, are Barcelona, Rome, and Zurich.

Do you have any trips planned in the near future?

Not at the moment. Cedar Grove Partners, LLC is currently cycling out of a busy period that it has been under for almost a year. In fact, it seems unlikely that business will slow for long, as the number of projects just keeps increasing. So, given how busy my schedule has been thus far, I cannot say that planning for travel is easy. 

Nevertheless, I do intend on taking a few days off this year to go somewhere within the U.S. The most realistic scenario for accomplishing this is to take some time off during the summer and go to the West Coast. I have never visited Portland, for example, and I have been interested in going there for many years now. So, I think that my next trip will be to Oregon.
