A Day of Decadence in Paris
I don't like food. I don't even love food. A huge part of my motivation to travel abroad is finding amazing places to eat and tasting delectable new dishes. Cuisine is both an authentic and intimate way of experiencing local culture, so seeing what's on offer food wise is always number one on my to-do list.
Arthur Ave -NYC's Real Little Italy
Just some of the selection at Mike's Deli Tourists will go down to lower Manhattan looking for Little Italy, but those in the know will head to the Bronx. Just west of The Bronx Zoo is the Belmont neighborhood, and the heart of Belmont is Arthur Ave (...
THAT's what a Hamburger's all about....

Mary's Hash House, Las Vegas
Anyone who stumbled onto this blog searching for "hashish" might as well leave, because that's not what this post is about. It's about good food, not good weed. The Las Vegas food scene has changed a lot since I first visited the...
Jestine's Kitchen, Charleston
In the past decade or so, Charleston has emerged as a food/foodie travel destination. On an extended weekend visit to Charleston, we enjoyed superb food every single meal. Most everything is fried and a little "heavier" than we're...
Times Square and Hell's Kitchen
I hate areas filled with tourists. Not just in NYC but wherever I travel. They are crowded. People just stop walking in the middle of the sidewalk. No one is really paying attention to what is happening around them. Unfortunately, sometimes I just...
