May 14th, 2012 at 4:30PM: Hawaiian pro big-wave surfer Garrett McNamara, 44, has officially made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for his November 2011 ride on a 78-foot wave (previously recorded as being 90-feet). McNamara was towed in on a jet ski off the coast of Nazare, a fishing village north of Lisbon, and absolutely killed it gliding down the face of this monster. Don't try this at home, kids.

Photo of the Day - 51 Irish coffees for St. Patrick's Day
Mar 17th, 2011 at 5:00PM:
Happy St. Patrick's Day! If you're celebrating today in America, you're probably planning to drink green beer or a nice pint of Guinness, but why not warm up with an Irish coffee, spiked with whiskey (Irish, of course)? In today's Photo of the Day, Flickr user jrodmanjr snapped these 51 coffees in action at San Francisco's Buena Vista Cafe, which claims to have brought the drink to the United ...Holiday Inn opens NYC hotel made entirely of key cards
Sep 18th, 2009 at 4:30PM: digg_url = 'http://digg.com/travel_places/Holiday_Inn_Opens_NYC_Hotel_Made_Entirely_of_Key_Cards'; As part of an effort to build buzz around the relaunch of 1200 Holiday Inn hotels this month, the lodging chain has opened a very special hotel in New York. It's not your average hotel though. It's made entirely of hotel key cards.
The "Key Card Hotel" was built by Guinness World Record holder ...Drunk Guinness brewing dynasty allegedly strips in flight, lets passenger grab her breasts
Sep 16th, 2009 at 1:00PM: digg_url = http://digg.com/odd_stuff/Drunk_Woman_On_Flight_Strips_With_2_Year_Old_Son_Beside'; If you ever need an example of how too much booze in the air can backfire, then check out this story involving Clare Irby, one of the members of the Guinness brewing dynasty.
Ms. Irby was flying Kingfisher Air from Bangalore back to London when her overindulgence in airline booze led her to start ...Philadelphia's oldest tavern toasts 150 years
Aug 6th, 2009 at 2:30PM: The oldest continuously operated bar in Philadelphia (and one of the oldest in the country) began celebrating its sesquicentennial this week. McGillin's Old Ale House opened in 1860, the year President Lincoln was elected, making it almost 150 years old.
While the anniversary isn't technically until 2010, McGillin's decided to start the party 150 days in advance, so if you find yourself in ...Wine flights taking off in Newark Liberty's Terminal C
May 5th, 2009 at 2:00PM: I tend to be a little anal-retentive when it comes to getting to the airport on-time for a flight. As such, I end up arriving a good 2+ hours before take-off. The upside is that, in all of my travels, I have only missed two flights because of my tardiness. The downside is that I've had to kill a tremendous amount of time in airports. Despite the fact that they are made for waiting, airport ...Is the Guinness really better in Ireland?
Mar 17th, 2008 at 10:00AM: Yesterday I wrote about the 5-minute process for pouring a perfect pint of Guinness. That fanaticism alone should be a clue to the quality of Guinness in Ireland -- any country willing to wait five minutes for its drink is a true aficionado. When I lived there, I found many Irish to be passionate and very specific about how Guinness should be drunk. Once a stranger stopped me in a pub because I ...The art of pouring a perfect pint of Guinness
Mar 16th, 2008 at 3:20PM: Did you know that it takes 5 minutes to pour a pint of Guinness? That is, it does if you're pouring it correctly. The first time I went to Ireland, I stepped up to the bar, ordered my Guinness, and when the bartender poured it and set it on the counter, I walked away with it. Back at my table, I noticed the glass was only three-quarters full (and no, that's not a metaphor for my overwhelming ...Brewery Tours and Wine Tasting: Free, or at least Cheap
Oct 5th, 2007 at 1:00PM: Martha's post on boozing for cheap reminded me of brewery tours. When I was a student at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark through the Danish International Student program (DIS), I was mostly broke and determined to have enough money for a month long trip through Europe before I headed back to the U.S. Most people in my program were in the same life of getting by on little cash. For fun and ...
