My last post – with the woman wondering whether Key West was worth her time – got me thinking. Why do people travel? Is it the museums? The food? Trying to navigate a foreign subway station in a language you don’t understand? Asking for directions from an old lady on […]

This is the title of a thread on the Fodors.com message boards. We all know my answer to this. But the actual issue here is travel. Every place is worth it at least once. How else will you know if you want to go back? This is the post, taken […]
Meringue or whipped cream? I always choose whipped cream, clearly because it is the superior topping to a Key Lime Pie. My friend Marcie would disagree. There are those that think Blond Giraffe makes the best pie. Sadly, they too, are wrong. I have a problem with the Blond Giraffe. […]
In the last post you heard of my latest adventure getting stranded in Detroit. Fortunately it was not in a blizzard, like in 1998. I take carry on luggage as often as possible when traveling. It is easier to manage and the airline can’t lose what you don’t give them. […]

The eating fest that was my trip to New York began (after crashing a few parties – see previous post) with dinner at Cacio e Pepe, in the East Village. This is an entire restaurant named after one of the greatest, and simplest, Italian dishes of all time. It is […]
The great thing about New York City is the many things there are to do, at all times. Last week, I was in New York for a few days. I landed Thursday, shared a car with someone I knew on my flight, and headed to my friend’s place on the […]
