Aug 19th, 2009 at 9:00AM: To truly experience New York during your next visit, you need to start your day with a good breakfast. No meal better epitomizes the different attitudes and moods of the city's residents then this first (and sometimes last) meal of the day. Whether we're talking about the quintessential lazy weekend brunch, a bacon egg & cheese from a deli or a strong cup of joe from the street cart, New ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Undiscovered New York: Top 5 breakfasts
Aug 19th, 2009 at 9:00AM: To truly experience New York during your next visit, you need to start your day with a good breakfast. No meal better epitomizes the different attitudes and moods of the city's residents then this first (and sometimes last) meal of the day.

Jul 10th, 2009 at 5:30PM: I'm a big fan of breakfast - a big Western breakfast, with eggs and bacon and toast and coffee. And my friend once pointed out after we emerged from our guesthouse in Nha Trang, Vietnam at 4pm after a wild Halloween night that no matter what time of day it is, I need to eat breakfast-y food for my first meal. When I researched Thailand for Lonely Planet last fall, I ate Thai all the time despite ...The supersized English Breakast
Jun 15th, 2009 at 3:00PM: Hungry? You'd better be if you plan to dig into this monster breakfast. This plate makes the famous "Grand Slam" look positively tiny.

Put two packets of oatmeal, honey and jam packets into the carafe, then put a tea bag in the filter. Run water through and you have a magic oatmeal concoction in no time! Now, I'm not a ...
Eating mallorcas in Old San Juan
Apr 15th, 2008 at 9:20AM: This past weekend I had an opportunity to experience the many pleasures of Puerto Rico's Old San Juan neighborhood. Ringed by massive stone walls and the imposing El Morro fortress, the historic heart of this former Spanish colonial capital provides a virtual feast for the senses. As I meandered the area's narrow cobblestone streets, I passed by block after block of majestic, pastel-colored ...Band on the Run: Dames of Dalkeith
Aug 4th, 2007 at 5:00PM:
It was 6:45 a.m. and I had no idea why my dreams had been rudely interrupted. My eyes were open but not seeing anything; everything just felt foggy. The alarm clock, expertly placed out of reach, was ringing from across the room. It took me and my exhausted body a few moments to realize that this was the day of the "girls-crash-the-small-town-breakfast" party at the local general store. Ah-hah. ...
