I hope that everyone had a nice Memorial Day Weekend.

While it’s always nice to have long weekends, this holiday is also important to recognize those who have given their lives serving in the US military.

Over the weekend we attended a food event in NYC which we’d never been to before. It might be of interest to those of you who plan to visit NY.

Food Review: St. Louis-Style Pizza at Imo’s Pizza

May 26, 2019Food, Trip ReportsImo's Pizza, St Louis, St Louis- Style PizzaMichael W

I first heard about St Louis-style Pizza when the restaurant Speedy Romeo opened in Brooklyn.

What makes St Louis-style pizza different is that it’s made with Provel, a processed cheese consisting of provolone, Swiss and white cheddar. The pies are also cut differently. (More on that later.)

On the long trip home from our trip to Argentina and Uruguay, we had a long layover in St Louis. I planned a few things to do with the time including trying St Louis-style pizza where it’s from! (This was planned prior to our flight being cancelled.) Continue reading Food Review: St. Louis-Style Pizza at Imo’s Pizza →

May 23, 2019Travel NewsHotel, Taco BellMichael W

I wouldn’t consider myself a big fan of Taco Bell but I do like to eat it once every few years.

The biggest news regarding the brand in recent years was when they started opening Taco Bell Cantina restaurants.

livingmas.com says the restaurants “features an urban restaurant design, open kitchen, custom menu with shareable appetizers and alcoholic beverages. Yes, you read that right. A Taco Bell with beer, wine, sangria and twisted Freezes“. Continue reading Taco Bell Is Opening A Hotel This Summer →

Game of Thrones ended a couple of days back and it’s been one of the hottest topics.

I’ve been asked many times if I watch the show.

While I can’t say that I’ve ever seen an episode, I have visited various sites (in Malta and Northern Ireland) which happened to have been featured in the show.

If you’re a Game of Thrones fan, you might want to take a trip to Split, Croatia. Continue reading Game of Thrones Fans Will Want To Travel For This… →
