On a recent ladies’ weekend in Miami, I had the good fortune of dining at the hotspot du jour, Sunny’s. My friends are planners and managed to snag a reservation the moment they were available. Given that it was raining sideways, we had the extra good fortune of a corner booth inside, next to Robin…

Beware the Bar Termini
Every chef I’ve ever seen interviewed claimed that one of the top bars in London is Bar Termini for Negronis. I was super surprised they weren’t hand crafted but were poured from a premixed bottle- flashback to my Bacardi days. The drinks were nice but I don’t think worth the price of admission. It was…
Hidden Gem in Margate- Bottega Caruso & Wine Bar
My sweet husband surprised me with a night on the coast on a drive back to mainland Europe this summer and brought me to tears finding a local restaurant in my family name. Both a wine shop, billed “deli,” I was expecting a charcuterie board to tide us over, but a glass of lovely dry…
Korean
One unseasonably chilly evening, The Husband took me for a surprise dinner that turned out to be Choi’s in the List neighborhood. Low key, buzzy, with a line out the door, you knew it would be good before even sitting down. We started with a seafood pancake- me- and some Korean fried chicken in two…
Honest Review: TRS Ibiza’s All-Inclusive Experience
The boho chic, TRS Ibiza, was a festive blend of party pool and reading pool. The food felt the same, a real range of deliciousness. The hotel hosts a buffet restaurant which was delightful for breakfast options, rather rammed and sad at lunch, and with some stepped up options at dinner, but just a little…
Surprise Ibiza Getaway: A TRS Hotel Experience
The Husband walked in one day and asked me if I could take a few specific days off of work for a surprise. Luckily, my boss obliged and granted me the leave, so I could head to Ibiza (surprise!) for a last minute getaway. It was long over due to try out our new airport,…
Is the P&O Ferry Lounge Worth the Fee?
Since our new airport, Hannover, offers far fewer flights to London than Geneva, we are now driving (ugh) to the UK to see the kiddies. We’d splashed out and taken the train which was easy with a plentiful lounge, although after reading recent reviews, we may have just gotten lucky. This trip, we opted to…

Discover Hannover’s History via ‘The Red Thread’
Learning our new city has been a fun adventure and making a point to do the touristy things when time permits, we recently toured the town via “The Red Thread,” a literal red line that meanders throughout 36 sites in the city center, taking inspiration from Boston’s Freedom Trail. The first stop is conveniently outside…
Health Benefits of Pinsa: A Must-Try at Mia Trattoria
Recently I spent a week in Munich for a tradeshow and as always, I am excited to discover a new place, but this was a weird one for me. The hotel designated by work was in a rough area. Think ladies of the night buying cheap gold jewelry, or gambling, or hitting a kebab shop….
A Culinary Find: Wine and Fine Dining at Al Parco in Friuli
Bibendum strikes again with his excellent Michelin recommendations of local spots that are exceptionally well done, but without some of the fuss of a star. After reading about Al Parco and its sister, the Hotel Del Parco, we knew this could be a solid overnight visit for us and it more than delivered the delicious…
