Last Saturday, seeking sunshine and tapas, I flew to Malaga, Spain to join Jon for the tail end of his work trip there. Although Malaga gets 300 days of sunshine a year, I managed to arrive on a rainy afternoon. But despite the damp weather, I had plenty of tasty tapas and managed to catch [...]

The Greenhouse, Mayfair
Posted in Everyday in London, London Eating, tagged Antonin Bonnet, Hibiscus, London restaurants, Mayfair, Michelin-starred, one Michelin star, The Greenhouse on March 23, 2010 | 11 Comments »
Last Friday, I celebrated my friend L’s birthday in style with dinner at the Greenhouse, Michelin-starred in Mayfair. It wasn’t our first choice, but we’d struck out at the Ledbury and Marcus Wareing, and although I’d never before heard much about the Greenhouse, because of several strong recs in comments left on this blog, we [...]
Dean Street Townhouse, Soho
Posted in Everyday in London, London Eating, tagged BlogSherpa, Dean Street Townhouse, England, Galvin Bistro de Luxe, London, London restaurants, Soho on March 17, 2010 | 6 Comments »
Saturday night. Where to go? Soho. Looking for someplace stylish and fun but that also serves good food. A tall order. Cue the Dean Street Townhouse, which the pros (like the anonymous folks at TimeOut) have universally praised, and which the bloggers have given mixed reviews. One thing everyone can agree on: the place [...]
Last Notes on Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy
Posted in Everyday in London, Italy, Travel, tagged apres-ski, BlogSherpa, Cortina, cortina dampezzo, Hotel Corona, Italy, Leone e Anna, Trentino alto adige on March 12, 2010 | 5 Comments »
Just a few final notes on picture-perfect Cortina in case you’re thinking of planning a trip there (you should). We stayed at the Hotel Corona, which is a 10-minute walk from the pedestrianized center of Cortina. Our group booked the hotel through a travel agent, who definitely exaggerated its virtues. Jon and I paid £200 [...]

Jon and I spent last week skiing in Cortina d’Ampezzo and despite some residual soreness (seriously, I must have thighs of steel now), I loved every minute of our trip. I grew up skiing almost once a week in the ultra-icy Poconos, which means that while I know how to ski, I have long associated [...]
Needoo Grill, Whitechapel
Posted in Everyday in London, tagged BlogSherpa, England, Indian in London, London, London restaurants, Needoo Grill, Tayyabs, Whitechapel on March 5, 2010 | 5 Comments »
It’s taken me months to get to Needoo Grill, mostly because it’s located just around the corner from its famous sibling, New Tayyabs. In other words, if I’m in Whitechapel craving tandoor, I usually end up at tried-and-true Tayyabs despite its brutally-long queues. Two Fridays ago, Jon and I finally willed ourselves to forgo Tayyabs [...]
