1 / 1 ( 1 vote ) It’s probably impossible to distil all NYC restaurants down to the best 15, but I’m ambitious so I’m going to go ahead and do it anyway. Besides, it’s my blog so I can take it back if I change my mind. These restaurants are the top-15 that really […]

I jumped at the chance to spend this last weekend in Berlin with Mikee, who had been there all week schmoozing with industry folk at Bread & Butter.

The words “best lunch ever” were uttered as a result of the creative menu, fresh ingredients, young beautiful crowd and urban summer setting. Best bit: The strawberry, goat cheese, candied almond and green leaf salad with a pineapple mint and ginger juice. http://www.marketipanema.com.br/ Rua Visconde de Pirajá, 452 – Loja 01 Ipanema – Rio de […]
