A few years ago, I searched for a place to spend time in downtown Miami. I figured I’d write, entertain a bite to eat and perhaps a cocktail; I held low expectations. But, I stumbled on a place I’d return to week after week and then again the following year. I discovered the downtown delight […]

Cuban Cuisine at Havana Harry’s
When asked to name the most popular ethnic cuisine in Miami most people think Cuban. And those that provide a different answer probably don’t even consider Cuban ethnic but rather native cuisine. During my time in Kendall, Miami I met many Cuban-Americans. Some even told me stories of how their family left a Castro controlled […]
The Mexican Tequila Bandera – A Patriot’s Drink on Independence Day
No, actually, ‘Cinco de Mayo’ (May 5th) is not Mexican Independence Day, the celebration begins at 11pm on each and every September 15th. The reenactment of the cry (or scream) for independence, “El Grito,” takes places in most every Mexican village, town, and city. It’s a fiesta too. The Mexicans are patriotic. Actually, in all […]
The Seafood Blues of Cape Town

The place recommended by the hotel concierge, provided a clean, open air setting, a vibe for great seafood. The open kitchen provided full view to us watch the chef prepare […]

A Gift from God, Lunch in the South African Winelands
Fact: Any visit to Cape Town is not complete with out a trip to the Winelands of South Africa. Just an hour outside the city, you need to add them to your ‘must see’ list if (no when) you visit Cape Town. The majestic scenery, incredible micro-climates, and the tastings all make it a must. […]
The Grand Time of Camps Bay
I arrived in Camps Bay, the glitzy oceanfront neighborhood of Cape Town a few hours early. And after finding the restaurant slated for dinner, I decided to walk along the seashore and pass time. The roar of the ocean, the smell of the Atlantic, and the refreshing afternoon breeze put my mind very far away […]
The International Gourmet Festival of Puerto Vallarta
When offered a chance to attend a food festival, I usually jump at it. Offer me a chance to visit Puerto Vallarta, Mexico I defintely jump at it. Offer me a chance to attend a Food Festival in Puerto Vallarta – its a no brainer. It’s just, “When do I need to be there?” Every November Puerto Vallarta […]
