Pizzicletta, Flagstaff, AZ: One Of My Favorite Casual Restaurants Ever.

Do you ever stumble upon a restaurant randomly and its surprisingly the best thing ever? Well that exact thing happened to me and Dan when we were in Arizona earlier this year. We found ourselves in Phoenix, Arizona for our friend’s wedding and decided to spend one night in Flagstaff for a quick visit to the Grand Canyon. Arriving in Flagstaff in the evening, we were pretty tired and totally without dinner plans (super odd for me not to pick a dinner spot in advance), we almost ordered room service and called it a night. But, I happened to look on Trip Advisor and found a good looking pizza restaurant that seemed to have a legit wine list only a 10 minute drive away. Perfect. Done.

Restaurant Review: Peperoncino, St. Julians, Malta

Dan & my Maltese vacation last summer began with a dinner a Restaurante Peperoncino in St. Julians, Malta, after a very long night of traveling from New Jersey to London, layover, then London to Malta on Malta Air. Since we had had such a day, I booked us an early dinner at Restaurante Peperoncino, which was about a 10 minute walk from our hotel and receives good reviews online.  We arrived right on time, and I think we were the first people there! Like most of Southern Europe, the Maltese eat late! The owner greeted us and he remembered me from making my reservation! He sat us at the cutest table outside!

A Quick Weekend In Tokyo Eating And Drinking All The Japanese Things!

Dan and I first visited Tokyo back in 2013/2014 for my 30th birthday trip, which fell over New Year’s Eve (hence the two years)! We had the most amazing time, and our trip to Japan quickly became one of our top trips of all time. Last Thanksgiving, since we were going to be in South Korea, we decided to tack on a weekend in Tokyo to relive some of our favorite Tokyo memories!

Barra Alipus: A Review of a Mezcal Bar in Condesa, CDMX on this Quarantined Cinco de Mayo!

Its Cinco de Mayo on a Taco Tuesday people, and we’re stuck inside. That’s mighty cruel. So in an effort to boost my own sprits, I wrote this post about a tasty little cafe in Condesa, Mexico City that Dan and I visited in 2018! I had meant to write about it before and never got around to it, but now seems like a better time than ever!
