Sometimes you end up moving to a city you once visited on a road trip with friends. In this case, it is a wise idea to correct the mistakes you once made as a weekend tourist, or at least polish your experience about the place up a bit. That’s what I did this past weekend…
I recently attended a showing of A Tanú, a film that was famously banned in Hungary for over a decade for its parody of the inefficiencies of the post-WWII communist regime. The event was held at the Hungarian Embassy and the movie viewing was followed by networking and noshing, as well as tasting a red and a…
To this day I am haunted with one colossal regret about my life in Hong Kong. My Argentine roommate and I made a promise to ourselves on our 2nd week in this crazy city that we would figure out the traditional Chinese medicine and dry good stores that line the street of Sheung Wan and…
Lone Star Taco Bar is a place I wish I had found out about sooner, especially considering how much of my time in Boston I spend in Allston, where the majority of my friends live. Sure, I had heard whispers and stories, mostly positive, about Deep Ellum’s Texican-Mexican hermanito, but I didn’t realize it was…
Before I travel to a place, there is a pre-departure processes I feel almost obligated to carry out: watch the Bourdain episode, browse through the city’s Eater Top Stories, do a quick search on Thrillist and SeriousEats (if in the U.S.), and consult with anyone I might know from there. In the case of San…
A wise man told me this past week, “You know, you in D.C. You in the South now.” I guess I never really thought of it that way but yeah, there are significantly more people around me who drawl and shift their phonemes in ways foreign to me and I guess D.C. is technically under the Mason-Dixon line…
I realized a few hours ago that I never actually wrote the article about the wonderful package of Momofuku Milk Bar goodies I received from my boyfriend / frequent dining companion for my birthday (in February) this year, so the following article is a tad belated. Momofuku Milk Bar is a bakery and dessert shop…
Miami’s nightlife has a characteristic flashiness about it which can turn tacky at the snap of a finger. But after a few too many years of being surrounded by the dingy and the smug, the always quite dark nightlife of Boston, I have actually come to appreciate a little bit of juicy, loud pizazz and…
Another cool spot I visited in San Diego was Prep Kitchen. The restaurant has three locations, of which I went to India Street in Little Italy, only a few blocks from my office. Apparently my colleagues frequent the place for their Happy Hour special, which allows customers to try some of their signature tapas ($5 a…
I’m moving to Washington D.C. in a few days, and have been feeling quite nostalgic lately as a result. In the past week I packed up the room I grew up in, had multiple boxing-and-wining nights (as in putting things into boxes, while drinking wine) with some very good friends and I’ve taken long, meaningful…
That Best Bite
