Hidden bars of New York

New York City is a magical city for the cocktail enthusiast. There are bars of every theme, color and smell in this great metropolis. The only challenge: Finding them. In a concrete labyrinth, where half the bars are unmarked, actually locating the best places to imbibe can be tough. Here’s my down and dirty guide to finding some of the best bars in New York.

Restaurant hopping around Los Angeles

Experiencing food from Los Angeles’ top trending chefs. The Los Angeles food scene is astir. The list of must-visit restaurants seems to be multiplying by the minute in the City of Angels, and many successful chefs and restaurateurs have opened multiple establishments around town where fans and followers can enjoy their signature styles of cooking in various permutations.

DC Food

Food trucks in Washington, DC

Finding meals to go from food trucks in the nation’s capital. I thought only the funky West Coast (especially hip cities such as Portland and Seattle) had glommed on to the food truck craze, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a ton of options in Washington, D.C., a place not necessarily known for being on the cutting edge of cool.

Golfing Saint Andrews

Learning the game of golf at the place where it started. St. Andrews is a tiny seaside town located on the southeastern coast of Scotland. Just more than a one-hour drive from Edinburgh, it is also accessible by train and bus from all major cities in the UK. World renown as the “Home of Golf,” it is home of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club, which is highly regarded as one of the oldest and most prestigious golf clubs in the world. Even non-golfers surely will be impressed by the history of the clubhouse in the center of town.

Carvings

Traditions of the Black Forest

Experiencing the culture of Germany through food and history. One of the things I enjoy most about traveling is how often I am exposed to traditions that are different from my own. So often I find that there is more to a culture than what we see on the surface or read in books. This helps me walk away with a better understanding of and deeper appreciation for other places and people.

Chambers Hotel New York City

Located in Midtown Manhattan, Chambers Hotel is at the center of everything you’d ever want to see and do during your visit to New York. The noise and chaos found on 56th Street seem to go silent as soon as you walk through the front door of this charming boutique hotel. Grab a latté and birthday-cake truffle at Momofuku Milk Bar — the Christina Tosi dessert bar connected to the hotel — or lunch at David Chang’s Má Pêche before retreating to your room to relax and unwind.
