There are so many fusion joints popping up, a testament to our globalized melting pot culture. These restaurants are great for those nights when you just don’t know what you want to eat – because you can have a variety of things! Crazy Bowlz [301 Frank Sottile Blvd, Kingston, NY […]

One faithful night we had what was easily our best meal on Big Island, and quite possibly one of the best on Hawaii, or anywhere else for that matter! Moon and Turtle [51 Kalakaua St Hilo, HI 96720] is a small and thoughtful restaurant. There is a clear focus on […]
We set off well before the sun came up down the icy road from Bryce Canyon. Our destination was Salt Lake City. It was a long road, way up north, over four hours, and the cold traveled with us on our November journey. When the sky began to lighten we […]
We drove by once and missed it looking for a blinking neon sign and some sort of red carpet. Pulled a quick u-turn and looked again. The GPS said we were there, where is the place? It was a Saturday night, off the main drag, it could have been any […]
Trendy, affordable, and delectable, Carson Kitchen [124 S 6th St, Las Vegas, NV 89101] should be your dinner choice before exploring Fremont Street. The restaurant in located on a quiet corner, but it’s anything but hushed inside. The place was packed, but we scooted in to a table for two […]
Walk into this little Soho establishment and you will enter a world different from your own where men and women are walking about in traditional garb and cultural references are abound. If you are looking for unique drink and food in NYC, Korchma Taras Bulba [357 W Broadway, New York, […]
I was in Manhattan after seeing a play and hungry. It is a goal of mine to become more familiarized with the city and this day was a good start. Hell’s Kitchen has a lot of great options, and we settled on trying some Peruvian cuisine at Pio Pio (604 […]
What a special gem! Little Café Poca Cosa is nestled right on a main road in Tucson [151 N Stone Ave Tucson, Arizona, metered street parking available], yet the restaurant it feels as though it is a world of its own. We chose to sit outside on the small patio […]
We stayed in Pacific Beach as many tourists do when visiting San Diego, and enjoyed it very much for our needs. The location is very central to all neighborhoods of the city, many shops (specifically Garnet St.) and restaurants are in walking distance, and the beach is beautiful. Our hotel […]
I have started student teaching which has really taken over my life! Getting used to this new schedule means we’ve been eating out a bit more than we normally do. There are so many restaurants in Center Square that I have tried once, a long time ago, right around when […]
Top Picks: Aloha Stadium Swap Meet (Shopping, Leeward) It’s always nice to return to the mainland with gifts from Hawaii for your Ohana. Staying in Waikiki, all of the shops had ridiculously overpriced tags. I looked for gifts everywhere I went that would be meaningful and spoke to the recipient. […]
Top Picks: Byodo-In Temple (Wildlife Sightings, Koi Pond, Windward) This was one of our most memorable activities of the trip, and for some reason I almost had us skip it thinking it was just some run of the mill temple, I’m so thankful I didn’t because it is so much […]
Yama’s Fish Market (Hawaiian, Cheap Eats, Lunch/Dinner, Takeout, Honolulu) With all of the different cultures present in Oahu, you can almost forget that Hawaiians alone originally inhabited the island. They have such a great culture and a unique cuisine; I had to seek out some traditional Hawaiian grub on my […]
Rainbow Drive-In (Cheap Eats, Lunch/Dinner, Honolulu) A quick, cheap, casual dinner turned out to be pretty tasty at this drive-in. The loco-moco is a keystone in Hawaiian cuisine. It’s not exactly my type of dish, so I was happy when Jeff decided to try it out. It consists of a […]
Kalapawai Market (Sandwiches, Cheap Eats, Lunch [or early dinner], Windward) If you find yourself Windward and you’re looking for a tasty sandwich, you gotta stop at this market. These sandwiches rival my beloved Cardona’s and those back in NYC. I was skeptical reading such rave reviews, but they were dead […]
