Bukhara Restaurant :: New Delhi, India

The cuisine is called North Western frontier food which is now the Pakistan and Afghanistan border. The food is rich and heavy. Most dishes are based around meat but there are a few vegetarian options. It serves renown Kebobs, which are some of the best we tried in India.

Oberoi Hotel :: Agra, India

Considering the hotel is over ten years old it is in pristine shape. Clean and beautiful principal rooms as well as guest rooms. Ours was on the smaller side but lacked for nothing. Every room has a view of the beautiful gardens and pools and best of all the Taj Mahal.

Cena Restaurant :: Miami (NOW CLOSED)

Michelle Bernstein finally reopened her restaurant after a renovation. This was a highly anticipated meal for us. The restaurant is no longer called Michy's but it is now Cena. The restaurant is very cool looking, it is a 60's modern look of old Miami.

The Grill at Bal Harbour :: Miami

We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at The Grill at Bal Harbour – situated on the second floor of the mall, just up the escalators and straight to the back. I suggest making reservations now that everyone has discovered the restaurant.

O’Lima Restaurant :: Miami

We started our meal with "Pisco Sours" a traditional Peruvian cocktail that is so goooood! I had the Ceviche Misto and David had the Grilled Ceviche, a dish that the Chef invented for his wife who doesn't eat raw fish. Both were excellent choices.

Ustav Restaurant :: Toronto

I have walked by this restaurant a million times but never thought about giving it a try. But since we are going to India we thought we would have a refresher course in Indian food.

Scaramouche Restaurant :: Toronto

I decided to write a review of an oldie but a goodie. Scaramouche has been a consistently good restaurant for over 3 decades. It is one of the truly classic iconic restaurants of Toronto. When you have a special occasion to celebrate there are not a lot of restaurants that come to mind.

The Polo Bar :: New York

One of the hardest tables to book in New York last year was the Polo Bar on 1 East 55th st. We were happy to grab a 10:30 pm reservation, which worked out perfectly after our Broadway play. As you descend down the stairs into the dining room everyone turns to see who is entering this " clubby" restaurant.

Chevalier Restaurant :: New York (NOW CLOSED)

The beautiful new Baccarat Hotel opened in New York this year near the MOMA on 30 West 53rd. I highly recommend you try the bar with its Baccarat crystal chandeliers, decanters and glassware. It is a good place to go for drinks before or after dinner.

Zucca Trattoria :: Toronto (NOW CLOSED)

Zucca Trattoria located at 2150 Yonge St. across from the former Art Shop, has been around forever. Well at least since 1996. We used to go all the time but we have neglected it, always wanting to try new places. But we tried it again tonight and I have to say, Andrew Milne has some of the best Italian food in the city.

Sushi Kaji :: Toronto

A 30 minute ride to Etobicoke to a little strip plaza to visit a gastronomic temple of Japanese delights was a highlight of summer dining thus far for 2015. Sushi Kaji is by far the best Japanese meal I have had in Toronto. However I have not dined at the Japanese cultural Center yet.

Waldorf Astoria :: Amsterdam

We checked out all the hotels in Amsterdam and felt that this is the top place to stay in the city. It is new, clean, beautiful, located in between the major museums, the Jewish Quarter, the Opera House and a ten minute walk to the 9 streets.
