Perfectly situated between Euston and St. Pancras, made the Hilton just the man for the job of homebase for London, but a jump off point for trains. There’s not too much to say other than the hotel was just fine. Not great, not awful, just the soul-less lodging you might expect from a north London…

Bancone: A Solo Diners’ Paradise in London
On a recent solo jaunt, I tailored my lady’s day out around a stop for Bancone. On my list for years, Bancone appears to be professional pasta connoisseurs but within a reasonable budget – something we all need these days! Solo diners are popped at one of the many bars and I was glad to…

Tuna Tacos and Scenic Views: Experience The Seahorse Club
Well situated on the Playa d’en Bossa is The Seahorse Club, perched just high enough above the beach for perfect views and removed from the folk hawking goods in the sand. Peaceful comes to mind. With it’s well styled space and bright colors, it reminds me of a quirky Kimpton property. Really, you can’t beat…
