If you’ve got a hankering for a tasty burger and have the time and inclination to line up outside (we were told an hour, but hung out in line for only about 45 minutes or so on Easter Sunday around 1pm), Black Tap Craft Burgers and Beer is a fun and tasty choice. Packed with […]
Recipient of numerous awards and accolades (and its menu offerings often associated with the word ‘best’), we just had to try out Sadelle’s for its famous bagels and smoked salmon. It proved to be not only a delicious Monday brunch, but an enjoyable afternoon of strolling and window shopping (even a light drizzle didn’t hamper […]
We went looking for a satisfying Saturday brunch option, and found it at Friedman’s in Times Square. Located in the Hotel Edison, it’s a bright, cheerful, friendly place with a very diverse menu – potstickers, burgers, shwarma, classic egg breakfast, reubens, and tuna melts. It had very good service, great coffee – and a surprisingly […]
We arrived in New York City for a whirlwind vacation at around 1:30pm. After checking in at the Kimpton Muse, we hit the streets to soak in the city and to find some lunch. We seemed to stumble upon iconic location after iconic location in just a few blocks… …And eventually, we arrived at one […]
Daniel Boulud’s Boulud Sud (NYC) is a restaurant located in New York City’s Upper West Side. It’s an easy five minute stroll from Lincoln Center where we were attending the opera (Turandot) later that evening. The show began at 8:45 pm, so we booked a very early dinner (5:45) in order to linger and savor […]
Deck the Halls… We returned to one of our favourite Canadian holiday destinations this past December, The Post Hotel (Lake Louise, Alberta). Believe it or not, it was our first time there in the winter. While not technically the Christmas holidays at least according to the school calendar – more mid-month – the spirit of […]
A Christmas-time getaway in the majestic, snow-capped Canadian Rockies at Lake Louise is a particularly romantic way to celebrate the season. The landscape provides all the ‘decoration’ you need to set the mood, which is at once cozy, elegant, and awe-inspiring. The powder-topped mountains and frosted trees are surely bound to cue up the Christmas […]
If you’re looking for a unique way to experience the Canadian Rocky Mountains in the wintertime, consider booking a dog sled tour with Kingmik Dogsled Tours. This is a world class operation, spectacularly done from start to finish. First and foremost, the moment you arrive for your tour and see the gorgeous Alaskan Huskies waiting […]
You may not be able to see an entire city in three days, but you can go a long way in experiencing the highlights. We found a recent trip to Seattle cut short by circumstance, but were able to pack in a surprising amount of activity without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Of course, to get […]
‘Elegant comfort’ is the phrase that best describes the dining at The Post Hotel. We’ve found it to be the perfect way to end a day spent out in the mountain air working up an appetite. The food is elegant and always-pleasing with surprisingly generous portions. And the wine selection is among the finest in […]
