Celebrity Travel: Go away with Tanaye White

Jae-Ha Kim, Tribune Content Agency on Jul 13, 2021

A: For a casual meal, I love SeoulSpice. It’s like Chipotle, but with Korean comfort food. If you go, be sure to get a bowl with purple rice as your base! For a fine-dining experience, my favorite is La Vie in D.C. Their drinks are made to perfection, and you have a great skyline view overlooking The Wharf.

Q: Where are your favorite weekend getaways?

A: A couple years ago, I spent a weekend at the Great Oak Manor in Chestertown, Maryland, for my birthday. It’s this beautiful estate on the Eastern Shore. The inn had the best accommodations, including bushels of crabs, a romantic boat ride on the Chesapeake Bay and happy hour with several charcuterie board options. It was the best staycation I ever had.

Q: What are your five favorite cities?

A: New York City, South Beach, Tulum, Washington D.C., and San Juan.

Q: Where would you like to go that you have never been to before?

A: I wanted to celebrate my birthday in Thailand last year. But the pandemic made that impossible to accomplish. I have several friends who’ve been to Thailand and I’ve heard nothing but great things. I’d love to spend a few weeks there to visit.

Q: When you go away, what are some of your must-have items?

A: Let me just preface this by saying that I pack my entire life when I travel. You have to be prepared for the unexpected! Some of my must-have items are an Afro pick and hair moisturizer, sunblock, extra underwear, heels, a sexy dress – just in case – and allergy medicine.

Q: What would be your dream trip?

A: A place that I go on my honeymoon. First, I have to get a husband. But when that time comes, I dream of flying away to Bora Bora or the Maldives. Being in the middle of the ocean with my life partner, experiencing the most beautiful crevices of the world – that’s my type of vacation.
