Guest Blog: Mercedes BarlettaGrowing up on the East Coast, Hawaii always seemed like a fantasy location. I believed journeying to this paradise in the Pacific was a treat reserved only for honeymooning couples or residents of California. But as those of you who read my last guest blog know, I sat down several years ago to compile a list of all the places on this amazing globe that I long to visit. This year, it was time to turn the fantasy of Hawaii into a reality.Coffee greeting at the Ritz...

From Destinations Perfected, 3 weeks ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Banana stuffed french toast ...... and the inside!No matter how much you love a foreign city, undoubtedly there are always comforts of home that you miss. For me, a proper American breakfast falls into this category. Each time I am home in Boston I always make it a point to head to Zaftigs in the Coolidge Corner section of Brookline. This Jewish style deli not only serves an amazing (all-day) breakfast, but also lunch and dinner. Some of the highlights are potato pancakes (latkes), fish plates,...

It occurred to me that I have yet to blog about the gastropub in London where I spend the majority of my social hours, not only because the quality of the food is great, but because it is only about 39 paces from my flat. The Pantechnicon Public House & DiningRoom, or ?Pantech' as we call it for short, is part of the Cubitt House family of restaurants that serve the neighborhoods of Belgravia, Knightsbridge and Pimlico. The Pantechnicon is situated on Motcomb Street in Belgravia, and I will...

London, England - Sunday Lunch at The Wolseley
From Destinations Perfected, 1 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
On Sunday I went for a long, lazy lunch of steak and red Burgundy wine at one of my favorite spots in London: The Wolseley. Not only did their Sunday roast and Yorkshire pudding hit the spot, but imagine my surprise when James Bond, aka Daniel Craig, waltzed through the door and was seated at a nearby table!! There are few celebrities that get my heart racing, but Daniel Craig definitely falls into that category. This is really what makes The Wolseley such a great venue: spot-on food, the...

From Destinations Perfected, 1 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I just spent a lovely Easter weekend at my dear friend's farmhouse villa in Malaga (Cartama), Spain and woke up to this stunning mountain/pool view (above) from my bedroom window each morning. Every day began with a wake-up call of brilliant sunshine streaming through my window and a cacophony of animal sounds: roosters cock a doodle doo-ing, peacocks that sound like cats meowing, birds (of all kinds) tweeting, horses neighing and bees working the orange blossoms. Once out of bed, we...
