In San Diego, right across the street from the convention center, there’s a great little outdoor cafe called the Tin Fish. It’s on a little tree-covered boulevard practically in the middle of the street just as you head into the Gaslamp District. You can smell the fish frying all day …
Table by the Window
I had dinner at a delightful restaurant in Montreal. It’s located on the cobble stone street of Rue St Paul, just on the edge of Old (Vieux) Montreal which is a great area to wander and poke into antique shops, boutiques and other novelty shops (Although things close fairly early …
A Taste of the Middle East
Who would have thought that I would have some of the best Baba Ghannouge ever at a restaurant on a little side street in Baltimore?! Lebanese Taverna is a small east coast chain and although I’ve never been to any of the others, this one in Baltimore’s East Harbor neighborhood …
Chain Gang in Vegas
I just got back from several days in Las Vegas for a conference and I thought I’d post a couple of restaurants that are located right on the strip that offer the comfort of familiarity. Let’s face it, just because you’re in a place that has fabulous, one-of-a-kind restaurants, sometimes …
NYC: As Easy As ABC
The ABC Carpet and Home Store near Union Square is one of my favorite places to go when I’m in Manhattan.

Bonjour Mon Ami!

Chicago: River Walk
Is there such a thing as a “quiet” walk when you’re downtown Chicago? One of my favorite things to do when I’m in Chicago is to wander down Michigan Avenue to the Chicago River. When you get to the northeast corner of the bridge (the end closest to the Tribune …
Middle East Meets North East
I just discovered a new restaurant that I love in Boston. I was introduced to Cafe Jaffa by a colleague who lives just outside the city, but loves to head in with her husband on days off and explore. So their explorations turned into my find! Cafe Jaffa is in …
Trois Beignet – S’il Vous Plait
New Orleans is well known for it’s fantastic food. Traditional dishes such as jambalya, red beans and rice, muffalettas, and gumbo are something that I look forward to every time I’m in NO for work and I promise that in upcoming blogs I’ll get to some of my favorite spots …
Calling Clam Chowder Lovers
I was in Boston recently on a business trip with no required dinners with clients or colleagues – just me, all by myself – I loved it!! And I was on a mission… to get to the Black Rose, to get a bowl of clam chowder so thick your spoon …
