Brunch at Musette
Located in the heart of Cape Porpoise in a historic white house just on the edge of the water, lies the cozy restaurant, Musette. Named after the traditional cycling “musettes” which are bags used to quickly transfer food to cyclists during long races, Musette the restaurant serves up culinary delights that you can savor at your table without having to pedal.
Distant Afternoon at Fore Street
I constantly seek interesting cocktails that combine some of my favorite spirits, such as tequila, in new and creative ways. Dining at Fore Street, which specializes in locally sourced and hand-crafted food in Portland, I came across a unique combination of flavors in their Distant Afternoon cocktail.
Oh K-Dog NYC
Strolling down Ludlow with an urge for a late-night snack after mid-town cocktails and conversations we were guided to a simple yellow sign that glowed with a mysterious corn dog-like symbol high above the road.
Los Tacos No.1
It is no secret that I love good Mexican food and after living for nearly ten years in France, I never miss an opportunity to eat a good taco or plate of enchiladas. When I knew I was heading to NYC, I messaged a fellow-born Texan living in the West Village to get his recommendations […]
Buvette Gastrothèque: West Village
Strolling through the Village on a sunny spring day, we happened to pass by a neighborhood eatery, Buvette, which caused us to turn around and take a second look as it reminded us of a small European cafe. The outside street-seating was mostly full and buzzing with life on a Wednesday afternoon so when we […]
Belmondo at Ludlow Hotel Lounge
Walking into the Lower East Side’s Ludlow Hotel, the lights are dim with a roaring fire warming the rustic, yet refined Lobby Bar Lounge on this cool spring night. The atmosphere is easygoing with a design aesthetic that feels slightly old-fashioned under the exposed wooden beams. An abstract painting of a James Dean-like character with […]

What happens when you mix cold Maine winters with Covid indoor dining restrictions? For most restaurants it would mean shutting down until warmer temperatures arrive in the spring, but not Kennebunk’s Batson River Brewing.

The Best Hot Dog In The World
Baejarins Beztu – a popular hot dog stand in central Reykjavík, Iceland, was named The Best Hot Dog Stand in Europe by The Guardian in 2006. We would argue that no trip to Reykjavik would ever be complete without a stop at Baejarins Beztu (often referred to as “BBP” by locals), Icelandish slang for, ‘the […]
Semiramis Hotel
If you prefer the ordinary beige, big box, generic business hotel, don’t stay at the Semiramis- the visionary brainchild of art patron Dakis Joannou and creation of famed industrial designer Karim Rashid. Located in the upscale Kifissia neighborhood of Athens, the Semiramis is the farthest thing from traditional, liberally displaying a rainbow of colors across […]
