Three Lesser Known Gems in Lima

Unless you've been living under a rock, or Staten Island, you know by now that Lima, Peru is one of the best food cities in the world. I already discussed La Mar and I will write a post on Merito (spoiler alert: Its good) at some point. We had surprisingly one less than stellar meal at Alegría Picantería Piurana, and three excellent meals at spots you normally dont see on the "Best of Lists"....

Virginia is for Foodies

Although I dont have a Virginia category on this blog, I feel this is one foodie and nature destination New Yorkers should pay more attention. Even though some of the sites are as close to us as the Finger Lakes, Virginia still feels worlds away. But not many realize that its home to our closets National Park, Shenandoah. While not as jaw-dropping as Acadia, and most National Parks out there frankly, it's something....

Efimero – Cusco’s Best Kept Secret

It will be interesting to see the the next Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants, coming out on December 1. I've never paid much attention to this list before. In fact, I didnt even know it exists as a separate list from the World's Top 50. But now that I started exploring South America (better late than never), I'm all too familiar....

19 Cleveland – Whats in a Name?

"America has only three cities: New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans. Everywhere else is Cleveland" - Tennessee Williams. I've never been to Cleveland but I'll take his word for it. I also doubt Eyal Hen and his partners ever been to Cleveland, otherwise the conversation on how to name this place would be longer. Three visionaries with a naming block (yes there's such a thing) settling for the address that includes "Cleveland"....

10 Tips for Machu Picchu

Planning a trip to Machu Picchu? You came to the wrong place. Unless you are holding a baby, you have to drop what you are doing and get those MP tickets, before its too late. But since you already here, might as well check out these tips. I can almost guarantee that some of these will be new, even after extensive research....

La Mar – The Prototypical Lima Experience

Some people eat to live, some live to eat. If you are the latter, Lima should be high on your mental list, if not there already. If you are the former, Lima is not for you. Why selective eaters come to Lima is a small mystery. To see the erotic pre Colombian art at the Larco Museum? The homeless cats of Miraflores?...

Markette – Just Another British owned Euro Caribbean in Chelsea

First meal after a long trip usually feels like a mixed bag, even if the meal goes well. You are reminded of the quality and vastness of the NYC food scene, but at the same time, the cons get more noticeable. The more you travel, especially for food, the more you evaluate and reevaluate service, environment, and value in your own town....

Top 10 Things We Ate in Campania

Without further ado... Rabbit at Montecorvo (Forio, Ischia) Starting with a no brainer. Stories, poems, and children books have been written about the Ischian rabbit. Ok, I'm making up stuff here, but it is indeed famous. At this old-timer in Forio you need to order it when you make reservations. And the result is juicy, tender and flavor packed. Like a fine Cacciatore....

The Case for Napoli

Add me to the Napoli bandwagon. It only took me about 20 years. While post Covid revenge travelers continue to flock to Florence, Rome, Positano, Venice, and Cinque Terre, there's no shortage of emptier gems all over the country. Many of which like Turin are arguably more pleasant to visit these days. I dare to say Napoli was more enjoyable than Rome last June....
