She Recommends a Family Trip to Williamsburg

By Torie Temple “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”These famous words filled the ears of the Williamsburg, Virginia, citizens who gathered to hear the reading of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.

Fall is the season of spice as well — the craving for dishes and drinks laced with cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. In honor of autumn, here’s a cocktail party menu highlighted by savory crostini topped with a cinnamon-tinged butternut squash [...]
