GADLING TAKE FIVE: Week of October 13-19

If you missed that big things happened at Gadling this week, then all I have to say is, "Where have you been?" Gadling has a brand new look and we're enjoying it. It's kind of like a shiny new toy. Wow! What does this drop down menu do on the left? The information we used to have is all here, it's just relocated and gussied up. Also, perhaps you've noticed the slight name change. Instead of the heading "Gadling: The traveler's blog," we're "Gadling: go there."

Here our some of the offerings we've dished up this week that hopefully will help you go there where ever that may be. Hey, and if you're not going off on some huge whirlwind mega trip, that's fine by us. Sometimes, it's the close to home treasures that are worth writing home about.

Abha Malpani, who just joined our Gadling forces this week, has some ideas for the best places to hook up with someone if you are so inclined, while Catherine's got you covered when it comes to avoiding tourist traps. Grant knows just where you can get your hands on some of the best street food in Europe, and if you have a sweet tooth craving, check out Martha's top places in the U.S. for a sugar fix ideas. To help you gather a bunch of facts that might come in handy at a party, or on a bus, or on an airplane --or just to amuse yourself in the privacy of your own bathroom, pick up a copy of Take Me to Your Leader. Kelly's always dishing up good finds with her One for the Road Series.

Okay, that's five and I still haven't mentioned Matthew's wealth of Japan know-how this week. Lastly, don't miss Neil's post "Visiting an American embassy, Simpson's style." Perhaps, you can relate.
