An animate anachronism, hip and trendy, Bokeria Kitchen & Wine [Cosmijeva ul. 2, 21000, Split, Croatia] exists within the Split’s ancient palace walls. The two floors of this lively joint were filled with people eating and chatting in paradise. We scored a spot at a communal table and looked upon […]

There’s no better way to feel like you’re in old world Europe than to dine in the narrow alleyway of the Diocletian Palace in the restaurant Konoba Trattoria Bajamont [Bajamontijeva 3, Split, Croatia]. Perfectly dense and fluffy sourdough bread was served and I couldn’t help but eat it all. Our waiter […]
Skradin is a small town on the Krka River near the entrance to the Krka National Park. We were lured here for dinner for a number of reasons, and each dream was thoroughly made into a reality at Zlatne Skoljke [Grgura Ninskog 9, Skradin 22222, Croatia]. We ducked in out […]
I may have stumbled across some of the best Mexican on the East Coast in, Vermont? Yes. Manchester, VT to be exact, and it isn’t the first place I’d go looking for killer Mexican, but hey – they’ve got it going on. At Cilantro Tacos [5036 Main St, Manchester Center, […]
Café Vian The traditional Hungarian dish of mashed chestnuts might not sound like a delectable dessert, which might deter you from ordering it. That would be a mistake. Especially at Café Vian [Liszt Ferenc ter 9., Budapest 1061, Hungary] where this after dinner treat is sensational! If you’re into pralines, […]
Are you feelin lucky? We must have been walking in here without a reservation…Yet lucky we were, as the next party of two trying to come in was sent away. Don’t gamble. Make a reservation because you want to eat here. Zeller Bistro [Budapest, Izabella u. 38, 1077 Hungary] is […]
An ultimately killer sandwich, ya just can’t miss it when you’re in Budapest. 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 […]
Torvehallerne [Frederiksborggade 21, 1360 København K, Denmark] is different from your typical city market. It’s small, quiet, hygge, and slightly high end, perfectly suited for Copenhagen. 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 […]
A smorgasbord (not to be confused with smørrebrød) of international delights rolled into a canal side warehouse, Copenhagen Street Food [PapirØen, Trangravsvej 14, 7/8, 1436 København K, Denmark] is a great kitschy place to hang out, grab a drink, and enjoy a tasty meal. Walk yourself up and down the […]
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and when that day is jam-packed with a travel itinerary it is important to be well fed from the get go. Since we were based out of Nørrebro we spent a good deal of time on Jægersborggade Street, a short block […]
Smørrebrød is to Denmark what hamburger is to America, an essential food item to eat while visiting the country. What is a smørrebrød, you ask? It translates to ‘open faced sandwich,’ and these bad boys come in many shapes and sizes, and can be found in a variety of eateries […]
What does the Grateful Dead, Anthony Bourdain, and a killer fish taco have in common? A trip to Mexicali Blue in New Paltz [87 Main Street New Paltz] of course! I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here, but be warned, this place is tiiiiny. We had just finished a hot hike […]
There is no White Castle in the Capital Region, but if you’re looking to get some sliders to fill the crave look no further than Slidin’ Dirty in Troy [9 1st St, Troy, NY 12180]. This place has really taken off, and I can see why. The main attraction here […]
