Best restaurants for an affordable brunch in central London
2012-05-04 16:55:00 By Nina Derham in London— If your accommodation in London doesn’t include breakfast, then a hearty brunch can be a great way to set yourself up for a busy day of sightseeing. It also saves you from splashing the cash on two separate meals. As if that weren’t reason enough, it’s also darn tasty and a great way to recover from a heavy night out. London is awash with options for brunch, but steer clear of the pricey smart hotels that target tourists and head to some of these local’s favorites instead: The Diner's Soho location. Photo: Ewan-M The Diner 18 Ganton Street W1F 6BU Web site Tucked away just off London’s Carnaby Street and a safe distance from the bustle of Oxford Street, The Diner offers all-American indulgence in the form of tasty all-day breakfasts and shakes to those in need of a little TLC. Pancake stacks, muffins, huevos rancheros and omelettes stuffed with all the ingredients you could wish for grace the menu, making it the ideal re...

Madrid: Inexpensive and tasty restaurants in Chueca
2012-03-29 17:18:00 By Regina W Bryan— There’s a rivalry between Spain’s two largest cities, Barcelona and Madrid. From soccer—Real Madrid vs. Barça—to which city has better nightlife, there have been many a heated debate between locals from both sides. I live in Barcelona and love it here, but I have to admit: Madrid is pretty cool! Every now and then I get over to Madrid and have a peek at its excellent museums and spirited nightlife. On a recent trip I took the AVE from Barcelona to Madrid, Spain’s fast train, and ended up eating some tasty meals in Chueca. Here are a few of my favorites cheap eats in Madrid’s Chueca neighborhood: Lunch Box Restaurant and Tiki Room C/Barco 8 – Madrid Tel: 915-233-364 Web site Just around the corner from Madrid’s Gran Via metro stop in Chueca is this fun, creatively decorated, hip burger shack.

Floating Restaurants at Coconut Island
2011-12-13 14:17:00 The east coast of Phuket is very much under-rated, far less touched by tourism than the sandy beaches on the west coast and far less visited by visitors. Quite a few of my favourite places and favourite restaurants are on the east side. If you head north from Phuket Town, on the main airport road there is a small side road heading to Laem Hin, a fishing community where you find the very popular Laem Hin Seafood restaurant. A new jetty was built at Laem Hin a few years ago to serve Coconut Island and allow larger boats to dock in the area. On Coconut Island (Koh Maphrao) you find a very nice resort called The Village. And in the water just off the island there are several floating restaurants. We've been before and somehow I have never blogged anything about these places. The day when we went recently was not such a perfect sunny day, guess we will go again soon with blue skies for better photos.There are several restaurants to choose from - Kruvit, Bang Mud and Kru Suwit.

Buenos Aires hotel restaurants take cuisine cues from around the globe
2011-03-06 10:24:00 It's hard to find a cozier breakfast or brunch spot that at the Resto-Bar at the hip-and-happening Home Hotel in Buenos Aires' Palermo Hollywood barrio. In this month's issue of Today's Chicago Woman, I invited readers to meet me in Argentina, where I not only sipped wine and slept at bodegas, or wineries, in the renowned province of Mendoza, but also dined fabulously at restaurants housed in Buenos Aires hotels. Just as you'll find in many of the world's top cities, some of BA's most interesting dining spots are located in these. A bustling capital city of about three million residents, Buenos Aires features not only traditional Argentine eateries, but restaurants that borrow influences from around the continent--and across...
Chicago blizzard of 2011: What do to when the restaurants are closed
2011-02-04 00:08:00 Over the course of the last couple of days, Chicago was hit with the third worst winter storm in this area's history. I live over by Foster and Sheridan with my partner and it amazed us watching the snow bellow down the street at speeds of over 50 mph. We saw tribune newsstands tumble like bramble in a western movie down Marine Drive while people were narrowly missing being crushed by the news. All in all, it was a crazy couple of days. The reason for this post is to talk about what to do when restaurants are closed or not delivering.
City bans fast food restaurants. Should Chicago be next?
2011-01-20 16:24:00 Some communities ban bars, liquor stores or strip clubs. But South Los Angeles is using its zoning laws to outlaw a different kind of foe: fast food. In 2008, South L.A., which has high poverty and obesity rates, enacted a moratorium on new fast food restaurants. And it's stuck. Since then, not one McDonald's or Burger King has moved into the neighborhood. But the area did get a new supermarket - the first one in 10 years....

Why Short Sales Take So Long: If Banks Ran Restaurants
2010-11-01 03:02:00 This is the second of my two part series on why short sales take so long. That first post was very factual and may have lost the less patient readers as it dragged them through the muck that is a short sale. So here is a rewrite of that post from the perspective of eating at a restaurant - something with which everyone can identify - in a Looking Glass world where the banks run all the restaurants. Background In this world (let's set the stage in Chicago for fun) there are only 5 restaurants in the entire city. Consequently the restaurants are huge, sprawling over several city blocks with thousands of people coming in to eat every hour....
Florence: Vegetarian, vegan and kosher restaurants
2010-10-20 17:27:00 By Laura Mongillo in Florence— Even though Florence is the home of the “bistecca fiorentina,” a steak that is sold by the kilo and never to just one person, the city is quite welcoming to vegetarians, vegans, people who eat kosher and various other diets. Oddly enough, almost all of the vegetarian and vegan fare that Florence has to offer in centered around Piazza San Marco. So if you are planning a trip, try to find a hotel in that area to make it easier to find meal and snack options. Here is what the city has to offer in terms of vegetarian, vegan and kosher restaurants and markets, which often also specialize in organic and fair trade food. Il Vegetariano Via delle ruote, 30r http://www.il-vegetariano.it/ This is the best-known vegetarian restaurant in Florence, literally named “The Vegetarian.” The prices are pretty low, starting at €4-6 for “primi piatti” (light dishes), and €8-9 for “secondi piatti” (main dishes).

I'm actually very happy to do it, but it does expose me to some bizarre situations. It also exposes me at times to other attorneys who enforce the law, but do it in a way that makes you want to cleanse yourself after dealing with them. This has happened to me twice recently while helping a friend that owns some restaurants in Chicago. In one situation he underpaid an employee (who had been fired for stealing) by around $1,000.

2010-04-13 17:18:00 Here are some Chicago restaurants offering tax day deals on Thursday April 15, like $10.40 set menus (get it!?) and "tax free" offers. Personally, I would pick a restaurant with a view of a Post Office so I can laugh at the late filers while sipping my discounted cocktail. What, is that mean? I'm usually a late or last-minute filer myself so it's really like mocking myself. (But I do think it's really silly to wait in line at the P.O. when you could have just dropped an extension form into the mailbox.)
