Do I ever miss the US? Of course.One thing that helps ease the pain is Hache Burger Connoisseurs , near Camden tube station. When Jon and I made our first trip to Hache, we were freaked out by the crowds of Goth-punk-teens hanging out near the Camden Market. But the burgers at Hache are so [...]

My Brush with Universal Healthcare
Posted in Everyday in London, Islington, tagged NHS, universal healthcare on March 22, 2007 | 7 Comments »
Up until this week, I had no need to try out the British healthcare system. But then I sprained my ankle, which made me think perhaps it was time to visit my local General Practitioner (GP). In the UK, the NHS is the agency that oversees the comprehensive and (largely) free public healthcare system. The [...]

The (distant) second-best option to being out in the pubs today, St. Patrick’s Day, is to remember a 36-hour trip Jon and I made to southwest Ireland in November 2005. So here’s my tribute to St. Patrick: We arrived on a Saturday morning at Cork Airport, got a snazzy green stamp in our passports (notable [...]

Things I hate about London Chinatown: 1. The ten thousand bajillion tourists there. What are they there to see, exactly? Have they never seen Chinese people? Seriously, I hate going to Chinatown and feeling like I’m part of the scenery. 2. The many crappy and overpriced restaurants that cater to Point Number One above.Things I [...]
A Walk in the (Holland) Park
Posted in Everyday in London, tagged Holland Park, Kyoto Garden, London parks, peacocks on March 11, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Today, we had sunshine, blue skies and warmth. What a treat to leave our umbrellas at home, at last. Jon and I celebrated the spring weather by making our first trip, ever, to Holland Park. The park is a mix of manicured grounds, sports fields and woodsy paths. Something for everyone, and today, it seemed [...]
A Day of Modern Art and Furniture (Price is Right rules)
Posted in Everyday in London, tagged Olympia, Tord Boontje on March 5, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Jon and I spent part of our Sunday browsing the FORM show at the Olympia exhibition center (think the Javits Center, divided in size by twenty and plus a lot more charm). According to the brochures, FORM is where modern artists, designers, photographers and sculptors show their stuff and sell their wares. It’s £15 a [...]

Posted in Everyday in London, London Eating, tagged enchiladas, London restaurants, Mexican in London, Notting Hill, Tequila Tex-Mex on March 4, 2007 | 6 Comments »
Despite the rain and the gloom today (as well as the suspension of services on the ever-frustrating Circle Line), Jon and I traveled west to visit our friends and have dinner in Notting Hill, where neither our friends nor we live. So, then, why the schlepp to Notting Hill? Well, it just so happens that [...]
