Bors GasztroBar [Budapest, Kazinczy u. 10, 1075 Hungary] is located in the Jewish Quarter, packed with people inside and loitering around outside. There are only a handful of stools, and nowhere to speak about outside to take […]
Koleves [Budapest, Kazinczy u. 37, 1075 Hungary] translates to stone soup, which might put a traditional notion in your head, but scratch that. This place is relaxed and pretty hip, in the Jewish quarter which turns into a total party scene at night. It was our first meal in Hungary and […]
Sweet…sweet…so sumptuously Sweet Mimi’s [47 Phila St, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866]. Come for brunch, they’ve truly got it going on in this cozy little joint. I got the bacon pancakes, because I’m a sucker for anything sweet and salty. They’re pretty. They’re delicious. They’re worth it. Folded into their homemade […]

If you’ve never walked around a cemetery just for the fun, exercise, or beauty of it, you should give it a go. If you’re in Copenhagen Assistens Kirkegård [Kapelvej 4, 2200 København N, Denmark] is a perfect place to start. There’s nothing creepy about being in a cemetery, it’s simply […]
If I was moving to Copenhagen, I know exactly which apartment I’d want, right on the edge of Rosenborg Castle Gardens [Gothersgade 11, 2300 København K, Denmark]. It’s the tiny yellow one in the middle, with a huge window to look out on this incredible park. Rosenborg Castle Gardens, or […]
Bright vibrant colors of beautiful blossoms galore! The University of Copehagen Botanical Garden [Øster Farimagsgade 2B, 1353 København K, Denmark] is a must see for naturalists visiting the city.

You know you’re in a special park when great blue herons are more prevalent than pigeons. Frederiksberg Palace and Garden [Frederiksberg Alle 65, Copenhagen 1820, Denmark] has so many elements that make it sensational. For me it’s the natural aspect – the flowering trees, winding waterway, and fantastic birding. The […]

It doesn’t open until 10am, 11 on Sundays. There are two little buildings that hold just a couple of vendors; one has more food […]
