Now there’s a real walk – roughly 15 km for the day. Started out heading down to Barranco, a neighborhood that’s a favorite, and one I’ve wandered a bit on past visits. There’s even a lovely little video I put together here. As is typical in the mornings here, Lima is quite foggy. Love… Read More Heading South and the “Beach”
A bit less walking on day 2 in Lima (light blue is walking, dark blue is in a vehicle – Google maps lets you know). Not as little as it may appear, as this covers a much bigger swathe of Lima, the previous day’s ventures were all centered down towards the bottom in Miraflores. But… Read More Crossing the Talking River
First there was the flight to Lima…. We were faster than that airplane seen in the distance… Passed him right up. The food was terrible. I mean, it always is on flights, but whoever thought that four paper thin slices of cold turkey breast accompanied by a scoop of unseasoned quinua and carrots was a… Read More A Jaunt Through North Miraflores
Where were we…? Oh yes, flying back to NYC from Boston. Landing at LaGuardia. Plans to meet my friend Fabiana from Uruguay who was in town for a wine event. I’ve seen her numerous times since you guys last did, way back in 2005 on my first visit to Pisano (she’s no longer with them).… Read More Big Apple Bite Marks #3

But my friend Ed, who also joined for the Il Molo… Read More The Great Boston Dumpling Crawl – Day Three
Seems like a guy who’s losing an argument with his wife…. We started out fairly early again on Saturday morning headed over to the area that is vaguely sort of a Koreatown, though in practice, it seems to be sort of just a pan-Asian area, mixed with a lot of Latin American. The earliest place… Read More The Great Boston Dumpling Crawl – Day Two
Are you ready? Of course you are. You’re about to be jealous, in awe, and probably a bit queasy. No doubt you’ll think we’re just a trifle insane. So, you know how much I like my quests. And now and again in life, one finds someone else who likes those sorts of things too. One… Read More The Great Boston Dumpling Crawl – Day One
A little different, as following on the quick appetizer bites at Upland NYC in the last post, the following 30+ hours sort of became a gradual appetizer crawl, with different friends popping in and out for different parts…. Nur, 34 East 20th Street – new, modern Israeli restaurant, getting lots of hype. Would it be worth… Read More What-Apps
