Delicious hand-held morsels on a skewer that just scream to be devoured. What is it about food on a stick that makes a good chunk of us stand to attention? For the many East Village visits on this particular New York trip I almost had to insist that we drop by this yakitori eating house [...]

Located in the same building as Chelsea Market is a restaurant many New York visitors just want to try. Buddakan. The entrance is nothing more than a discreet door on the side of the market building with a small steel plaque indicating its location. The visuals of this place are out to impress.

Within a couple of days of staying in Manhattan we found ourselves walking the High Line as many tourists tend to do on any visit to New York.

When somebody recently asked me if we’d done any day trips out of New York I said yes, just one. To be honest I really wanted to duck out to Boston but not just for the day. A couple of days would have been nice. Our day out of NYC was spent in a city [...]
