Plan your airport layover with T+L's Airport Navigator

Plan your airport layover with T+L's Airport NavigatorNov 4th, 2009 at 4:00PM: I hate airports. I hate sitting around and waiting, and I hate being unable to escape the thought that soon my plane will be the one zooming down the runway and lifting off into the sky. So rather than arrive early to the airport and allow myself time to get anxious about flying, I prefer to arrive at the last possible second, so that as I run through security and down the terminal, I don't have ...

Through the Gadling Lens: 7 tips for photographs around the meal

Through the Gadling Lens:  7 tips for photographs around the mealOct 29th, 2009 at 11:00AM: tweetmeme_url = 'http://www.gadling.com/2009/10/29/through-the-gadling-lens-7-tips-for-photographs-around-the-mea/'; tweetmeme_source = 'Gadling'; I've mentioned before that one of my favourite pastimes while traveling is eating. Oh my heavens, how I love to eat. There's just nothing like being in a completely foreign land, trying a whole new cuisine. It's like an adventure in every little ...

Great drinking and dining at London's gastropubs

Great drinking and dining at London's gastropubsOct 28th, 2009 at 4:30PM: The pub is a fine British institution, but the eating is rarely as good as the drinking. When you order food at most pubs, what you get is a preprepared meal that's heated up in a microwave, not something that's cooked especially for you. Some pubs do have good kitchens where they make everything from scratch, like The Fir Tree, my local in Oxford, but it can be hard to tell just by looking at a ...

A Classic West Virginia Resort Returns to its Roots

A Classic West Virginia Resort Returns to its RootsOct 26th, 2009 at 3:00PM: Once commonplace in society, the ultra-luxurious retreats of the South were in abundance and served as the ultimate vacation spot for the well-to-do. Often found in off-the-beaten-track locales, such as sprawling alongside a private beach or set atop a lonely mountaintop, these lavish resorts served as private escapes for a variety of distinguished guests, from Presidents to wealthy businessmen. ...

It's Rioja Restaurant Week in NYC and Chicago!

It's Rioja Restaurant Week in NYC and Chicago!Oct 19th, 2009 at 12:30PM: Last January, my husband and I took a trip to the Rioja region of Spain. We sampled Rioja wines and visited underground cellars by day, and hopped from bar to bar snacking on tapas and drinking Rioja wines by night. We found that there were several Rioja wines that we loved, at that the tapas served there (while not incredibly creative like those offered in the Basque country) were simply ...

London Restaurant Festival opens today

London Restaurant Festival opens todayOct 8th, 2009 at 2:00PM: England has an unfair reputation for bad cuisine. While this is the land of jellied eels and mushy peas, things have changed in recent years and now there are a lot more choices, especially in the nation's capital. From October 8-13, the London Restaurant Festival will highlight the amazing range of eateries in the city. You can find literally any kind of food here from familiar favorites such as ...

Montreal Musts, To Eat: Liverpool

Montreal Musts, To Eat: LiverpoolSep 25th, 2009 at 2:00PM: Little Burgundy was once home to jazz musicians who fled Prohibition for Montreal to resume "normal" living – or at least get wasted regularly. Now, the pace isn't what it was in the 1920s, but you can still find plenty of reasons to head over to this part of town. Among the best is Liverpool House, a small restaurant with a profound menu. From the outside, Liverpool House looks like a ...

Five Upper West Side brunch favorites

Five Upper West Side brunch favoritesSep 19th, 2009 at 8:00AM: Step onto any Upper West Side sidewalk on a Saturday or Sunday, and you're bound to be swarmed by brunchers – coming from, going to or lingering outside their favorite spots. Though there is no shortage of unknown and overexposed eateries in this neighborhood, it's not unusual to find yourself saddled with a long wait even if you have a reservation. Or, you could score with a great ...

Detroit's first Restaurant Week kicks off Friday

Detroit's first Restaurant Week kicks off FridaySep 16th, 2009 at 1:30PM: Nearly every major city has a Restaurant Week - one week per year when dining establishments all over the city offer multi-course menus at a deep discount. Restaurants see it as a way to pull in new customers or boost sales during a slow period, while diners jump at the chance to try out new places or revisit their favorites for a smaller price. For the first time, Detroit will be running its own ...

Roadside Barbecue: St. Martin Style

Roadside Barbecue: St. Martin StyleSep 3rd, 2009 at 10:00AM: I'm a Southern gal through and through, and one thing we country folks know is our barbecue. For us, a platter of grilled ribs or chicken is our sole reason to exist. We can't live without it, and we take great pride in executing our seasoned meats with our own unique culinary perfection. Whether you're talking pulled pork doused in a piquant cider vinegar sauce or baby back ribs slow-roasted and ...

Score Chicago deals and freebies with BrokeHipster.comAug 20th, 2009 at 2:00PM: Okay, the name induces a slight eye roll - I'm not broke and I'm certainly no hipster, I just love a bargain - but the premise behind one of Chicago's best new websites is pretty awesome. BrokeHipster collects all the top upcoming deals, from happy-hour specials and dining discounts to promotional parties and boutique sales, and puts them all in one place. On any given day some of the freebies ...

Lady in the House: Chef Anne-Sophie Pic's Simple Elegance

Lady in the House: Chef Anne-Sophie Pic's Simple EleganceAug 12th, 2009 at 9:00AM: As someone who has done her fare share of cooking, I have mad respect for anyone undertaking the daily grind of working in a professional kitchen, let alone running one. Yet as a woman, I can't help but revel just a wee bit more in the achievements of the many female chefs out there who are gaining the culinary respect they so deserve. Take Chef Anne-Sophie Pic, for example, of the newly opened, ...

It pays to be young in Rome this August

It pays to be young in Rome this August Aug 10th, 2009 at 12:00PM: To combat the travel lull Rome typically experiences in August, the city is offering some fantastic deals to lure travelers. The catch? You must be under 30 years old to get the special prices. Head to any tourist office in Rome, show proof that you're between 18 and 29 years old, pick up your free promo card and use it to get discounts all over the city. 32 restaurants are offering special ...

Cheap eats in London

Cheap eats in LondonJul 28th, 2009 at 10:30AM: English food is no longer mushy peas and baked beans on toast. Cities like London have become culinary capitals thanks to large numbers of immigrants saving the English from themselves. Indian, Chinese, Thai, Moroccan, Ethiopian, and many other types of restaurants offer every kind of dish imaginable. There's only one problem--eating out in England is bloody expensive! Now there may be a solution, ...

A Super Dining Option at Westin Hotels and Resorts

A Super Dining Option at Westin Hotels and ResortsJul 13th, 2009 at 11:30AM: Many of us travelers have had more than our fare share of average hotel dining experiences, especially when it comes to breakfast. I mean, let's face it. How inspiring can a continental breakfast buffet of day-old scones and room temperature yogurts really be? Toss in the fact that eating healthy on the road is its own particular challenge, and folks looking for a decent meal are often left to ...

The Maitre d' of Cheese

The Maitre d' of CheeseJul 8th, 2009 at 9:30AM: I must confess. I want Carolyn Stromberg's job. She spends all day surrounded by stinky cheese, nibbling away her work hours immersed in plethora of funkiness. There's no three-walled office cubicle for this former Cowgirl Creamery apprentice. Only a butcher's block and a stainless steel cheese slicer, along with one of the ultra-coolest gadgets I've seen in a long time-- a glass-enclosed cheese ...

Wine flights taking off in Newark Liberty's Terminal C

Wine flights taking off in Newark Liberty's Terminal CMay 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 ...

Continental's Restaurant Week could increase revenue

Continental's Restaurant Week could increase revenueMay 1st, 2009 at 8:00AM: On its face, Continental Airlines' participation in International Restaurant Week seems like just another promotion. Think harder, though, and you'll see that it's really a way for the airline to bring in a little extra cash. Since passengers with a bit of extra girth may be charged for an extra seat, it only makes sense to fatten up fliers and reap the rewards. A dozen New York restaurants ...
