It’s All Smiles On The Greek Isles

Posted on Oct 24th, 2010

Greeks are a maritime people since the Bronze Age, 3-4,000 years ago – and small wonder; there’s greater than 6 thousand of them. Yet, just two hundred twenty seven of these islands boast anybody living on them, and less than 80 include vacation rentals. These Greece beach vacation rentals are certainly worth coming out, however; if you desire to get to understand the countryside and the people of this ancient country, you’ll absolutely desire to visit the islands along with its quaint towns and relaxiing kafeneos. It is at all the eating establishments that you’ll taste genuine Greek cuisine that you cannot acquire anywhere else, in addition; these Greek island seashores are amazingly romantic places, it really is these small cafes that catch the attention of gourmet food fans from round the world.

A good place to start a tour of the Greek islands is within the eastern Aegean from romantic getaways such as bed and breakfasts on Chios, Psara or Lesbos. The latter (named in honor of a male deity, coincidently enough) is called the “Emerald of the Aegean.”  Read more...

What You’ll Experience In Canadian Restaurants Or Hotels

Posted on Jun 10th, 2010

Going to restaurants or hotels in foreign countries is one of the first things that a tourist experiences. The types of foods that are available in foreign places, such as Canada, can be very close to native food but different enough to be interesting to try. However, as a tourist, there are many things that one should know, lest they risk feeling awkward.

One of these differences is the price you pay. Since the USD is stronger than the Canadian dollar, the prices in Canada are higher. When you convert your USD to the Canadian version, you’ll get more, but when you spend it, you’ll spend more. In the case of going out to eat, some of the prices that you’d be familiar with might seem astronomically higher, when they’re generally the same before conversion.

Many (if not most) other countries include the tip into the cost of the meal when you go to a restaurant. Since this is something Americans aren’t used to, it can cause some confusion. Some might wonder why they’re meal was so much more expensive, or might wonder why they had to pay so much (or little) as far as the tip went, and so on. It’s more convenient to have a tip directly on the bill, as it’s a guarantee to the employee and it’s an obvious courtesy from the customer.  Read more...

Midtown Restaurants In New York City

Posted on Mar 18th, 2010

You have two ways of dining in the Aburiya Kinnosuke Japanese restaurant, in private such as an international tycoon secretively conducting business behind curtains of a sequestered nook, or in public at the congenial counter by the robata grill, where the solemn faced cooks painstakingly monitor the progress of the skewers and planks they prop amid the embers.

Monsieur Ducassed has returned after a brief interval of study and introspection. The name of her restaurant is Adour Alain Ducasse which opened at the beginning of 2008 in the St. Regis Hotel. This restaurant is grander than the Essex House and the chef has wisely hired local design guru David Rockwell to help channel his artistic vision. True to form, this vision involves the chef’s somewhat ornate version of the purist, back to basics themes that animate the city’s food scene these days. (The restaurant is named for the Adour River, which flows near Ducasse’s hometown in southwestern France).

If you are craving Tex-Mex food like nachos and taquitos then eat at Ah! Chihuahua. People who cannot make up their minds will find comfort in combo platters like the Monterry which comes with a flauta, a quesadilla and a chimichanga. The “hole in the wall” defines the railroad style space but with terra-cotta floors, exposed-brick walls, and dim lighting, it has a certain charm.  Read more...
