Mall of America Food Tour – Seriously? Seriously!

April 3, 2017

There aren’t many things that I hate more than malls and hotel food. Just the thought of walking through the claustrophobic, shiny corridors makes me clam up. And then there’s the lights and signage and digging through store racks for something that might look good on me. No thanks. I’ll do my shopping with StitchFix. And hotel food? Seriously? Why eat in your hotel when there’s an entire city to explore? Why…

A Taste of St Lucia Cuisine

September 17, 2015

I knew from the first bite of fish cake at the manager’s reception that I was going to like the cuisine of Fond Doux Resort and Plantation. It wasn’t a morsel of food pulled from the freezer, thawed, and then heated. Nor was it a perfectly shaped masterpiece surrounded with an artist’s drizzle of dipping sauce, meant more for the eye than the mouth. Instead, each fish cake on the platter was…

Best Cuban Food in Miami

June 26, 2015

Maybe that title is a little misleading. Is it really possible to define the best Cuban food in Miami when there are so many delicious options available? Actually, it is. The best Cuban food I ate in Miami was at my friend Eddie’s house for his birthday. His mother made the most flavorful masas de puerco fritas that I’ve ever tasted. The pork chunks weren’t dried out like they tend to be from an…

What to Eat in Hong Kong – Hipmunk City Love

May 29, 2015

Hong Kong is a melting pot of cultures uniting expats from throughout Asia, mainland China, and other far-flung corners of the world. Each of those cultures brings its own cuisine helping the city to create a culinary scene where almost any ethnic food is available. Many wealthy residents and visitors are also attracted to the city’s open business scene. Fine dining establishments have followed their wallets helping further to define Hong Kong…

Eating Barcelona

May 21, 2015

I felt like a zombie as I limped into the lobby of the Le Meridien Barcelona. I needed a shower and sleep, and I needed it now. The transatlantic flight had not been good to me and I managed less than an hour of sleep. I approached the receptionist foolishly hopeful that my gold status would work a miracle and my room would be ready at 9am. She rudely explained that I…

A Foodie Guide to Dubai – Hipmunk City Love

April 24, 2015

We all know about the outrageous and the uber expensive in Dubai. Stories of palm tree shaped manmade islands, Ferrari World, and an indoor ski park in the desert make crazy and splashy headlines. Then there’s the chic shopping and the ultimate in five-star hotels in Dubai. That story’s been told. But what about the food? Like the rest of Dubai, the food scene is just as varied offering travelers a range…

Our First Meal in Cape Town

April 22, 2015

Good food and good wine has the ability to unite. To bring people together who otherwise might not be friends due to age, socio-economic, or other life differences. Happy taste buds and uplifted souls draw smiles to our faces that engage others by breaking barriers and inviting both laughter and conversation. Our first meal in Cape Town did just that. We were by far the youngest participants on our African Culinary Adventure….

Best Foodie Hotels in San Francisco – Hipmunk City Love

March 19, 2015

I love to explore the local food scene when I visit a city, and San Francisco has one of the best. I spend many hours researching blogs and reading restaurant reviews, pinpointing the best gastronomical finds. I admit that I completely ignore my hotel restaurant. Something in my subconscious tells me that no hotel restaurant can deliver a good meal, or that they’re too dang expensive. But sometimes, I’m tired. It’s been…

A Gourmand’s Itinerary for Visiting Vienna, Austria

February 23, 2015

Vienna, Austria carries with it a rather long list of “must-see” attractions to experience all the city’s grandeur. For starters, visitors must visit at least one the Habsburg’s grand palaces – the Schonbrunn or Hofburg. When you’re done touring the Hofburg, you might as well stop by the Spanish Riding School and watch the horses perform maneuvers to the waltz. Speaking of music, don’t forget to visit Mozart’s house. Then there’s the…

Best Restaurants in the World – Part Two

February 10, 2015

One of my favorite things to do when I travel is eat. But not at the chain restaurants. I want taste like the locals. I want to eat what they’re eating and where they’re eating. I want to gorge on local dishes, not another hamburger. Thus, I thought it would be a cool idea to ask some of the top travel bloggers what they’re favorite restaurant was. Below is part two of their…
