Ristorante Gembro – Saturday Night (10/09/10)
There are certain moments that seem decidedly Italian to me. Like Friday, when I boarded the Malpensa Express from Centrale train station to return to the airport, there were two empty seats with a bag laying across them. I looked...
Tuesday Again
Lest you think we ended our trip on a sour note, don’t fret (well, actually we did, but you can read about that here), we still had one more free day in Tel Aviv to spend time together. Originally, when...
And on the Fourth Day, They Rested
I know G-d rested on the Sabbath, but we rested on Thursday … sort of. Everyone but me (up at 7:30am) slept in until almost 10:00am. By the time we got out the door and moving it was probably after...
Tuesday - Part II
The girls were tired and Becky felt a bit off about visiting Bethlehem, so they opted to stay in the room while Chris and I went. For us to visit though, was a convoluted, not scary, not nerve-racking but maybe...
The Bulldog
Our first night we went for dinner at Le Bouledogue, a brasserie/cafe down the street from the apartment. Originally, I had contacted them, via e-mail, asking for a 7:30 reservation, but since I never heard back from them, I assumed...
Sunshine 27
For Christmas this year, we included a new type of gift under the tree for the girls, a joint gift, a “trip.” Basically, Chris and I found a decent rate at the Embassy Suites near Battery Park ($200 a night),...
Day 2 - Rome
I think I totally forgot about day two. So after a pretty exhausting day on Thursday, I was feeling it when we woke Friday. We did manage to sleep in though. I have to say the double-shudder system at the...
Day 5 - Avignonesi
Well, there's nothing like some incredibly horrible news (not related to my health, don't worry), and jet lag to get you up at 3:00am. So I took Pauline's advice, and wrote up another entry to take my minds off things....
Day 4 – Dinner – L’Agnolo
In years past, one of our favorite restaurants to visit was Trattoria Sciame. We stumbled upon it during our 2003 trip and returned a couple of times during our 2005 trip. Since then though, it has changed names, now...
Soho on George
Yesterday, though forgotten in the events of the past two weeks, was our 19th wedding anniversary. Hard to believe that 19 years ago, we promised in "sickness and in health" and now we're being tested in that arena ... whatever....
Itinerary - One Week in Montalcino - Sunday Nov 9
San Giovanni D’Asso This small town is about twenty five minutes from Montalcino. We passed by it on our way from Castelmuzio to Siena during our 2003 trip. They’re known for a Tuscan white truffle (the town has more truffle...
Itinerary - One Week in Montalcino - Background and Arrival
I'm putting together a high level packet of informatin for Andy and Katy, who will be joining us on our trip in November to Montalcino. So I figured I might as well copy the info here too in case anyone...
Sweet Breads - They're Not Sweet and They're Not Bread
Duck Egg at Casa MonoOn Saturday Chris and I popped into the city and decided to visit one of my favorite restaurants, Casa Mono. I've been there several times, twice with a friend and once with Chris (this would...
Joe's Shanghai
Last night the Lehigh Girls went out to celebrate the twins' birthday. As we were choosing restaurants via e-mail back in July, someone raised the question, "Why don't we ever go out for Chinese food?" No one had an answer...
On The Road Again
Pantheon - Rome 2003 Yep, things are coming together for our fall trip to Italy! It's been 3.5 years since we've been and I'm looking forward to it. First off, we booked our airfare last week. I had wanted...
Daryl Wine Bar
For a few years now, Boleskine over on Slow Travel Talk, has been mentioning to me a restaurant in Rahway, David Drakes. Every time we think of going out to dinner, we think, let's get to Rahway, and try it...
Lupa
We have been trying to get together with Alan and Janet for months now. Today, finally, after coordinating our schedules weeks out, we finally met at Lupa for lunch. Lupa's one of the Batali restaurant empire, specializing in "Roman trattoria...
Oops - Almost Missed Today - Caffe India
Wow, I didn't realize the time - I almost let today slip by without an entry. So what to write about? Hmm... Okay - here's something, On Wednesday night I met the Lehigh Girls for dinner. I'm not sure I...
Sette Osteria
Last night we went for dinner at Sette Osteria, recommeded by Chiocciola on the Slow Travel Talk Forums. I was looking for an inexpensive place, near our hotel, where both the kids and adults could find something good to eat...
Gordon Biersch
When we were in San Francisco some ten years ago, we stopped for lunch, or was it dinner, one day at Gordon Biersch and were introduced to their addicting garlic fries (which we later chowed down upon at a Giants'...
Louis Vins
Shannon's Dinner Shannon became intimitely familiar with this little guy at dinner last night. So who knew what a Perigourdinne Salad was? Not us, until we tasted it. Marley's Menu Master stinks. I lucked out though with Mesculun and...
The Chef's Table - NECI
Last night we drove to Montpellier, Vermont’s capita (and the smallest state capital in the US, by the way), to have dinner at the New England Culinary Institute. The Institute has two campuses, one in Essex and one in Montpellier...
Mr. Pickwick's
We went to Mr. Pickwick’s expecting and craving a British pub, you know, with pub food like burgers, bangers, fish and chips but what we got was an “upscale” British restaurant. Not that that’s a bad thing, just a thing....
Wow It's Been a While
Yeah, I know, I'm a bad blogger but what with working and the kids...excuses, excuses. But now, since I've removed one of those impediments (no I didn't get rid of the kids), I'm hoping to have more free time here....
