GeekSqueek: Vamoose Virgin
http://geeksqueek.blogspot.com/2009/02/vamoose-virgin.html
A narrative of food, travel, and living. Thursday, February 5, 2009. In the world of low cost bus rides between the Washington, DC area and New York City, I was a virgin up until this trip. Having had the pleasure now of a ride on Vamoose. From Rossyln to Penn Station, I’m not sure if I can ever go back. Total time from our front door to our destination was. Less than with airplane or train – and of course it was. Vamoose Express Bus Service. 16 Penn Plaza, Suite 514. New York, NY 10001. July 20 - July 27.

Because everyone needs dessert. Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Baker, writer, traveler, and all things right side of the brain. Burnt Caramel Custard (Pot de Crème). January 25, 2014. I’ve also recently come to appreciate the custard, whereas in my younger days I thought ‘why waste dessert on something that’s not cake? Well, custard is unpretentious, easy to make, and isn’t the monster of the classic horror movie, “The Blob.”. This burnt caramel custard, or pot de crème if you want t...

GeekSqueek: Return to China Star
http://geeksqueek.blogspot.com/2008/12/return-to-china-star.html
A narrative of food, travel, and living. Thursday, December 11, 2008. Return to China Star. We hit China Star. Again last night with our buddy SV, a true-blue fan of Hong Kong Palace. We ordered the eggplant with garlic sauce in clay pot that Pleen enjoyed last time along with a pressed tofu dish and the cumin lamb. Pleen and I will be back. SV, not so much. SV didn’t appreciate the hellacious rush hour drive to the place and found the food underwhelming. Fairfax, VA 22031. Asiapalooza Part 3 - Singapore.

GeekSqueek: Pizza Pilgrimage: Una Pizzeria Napoletana
http://geeksqueek.blogspot.com/2009/02/pizza-pilgrimage-una-pizzeria.html
A narrative of food, travel, and living. Friday, February 6, 2009. Pizza Pilgrimage: Una Pizzeria Napoletana. We’ve heard about Anthony Mangieri’s near-fanatical dedication to the classic Naples-style approach to pizza. Una Pizzeria Napoletana. Was thus high on our must-try list. On our first night in town, we headed down to the east village only to find the joint closed. We finally got there for a “snack” on day 2 before meeting friends for dinner. Bottom line up front:. The pizza that appeared consiste...

GeekSqueek: Inauguration Eats
http://geeksqueek.blogspot.com/2009/01/inauguration-eats.html
A narrative of food, travel, and living. Friday, January 16, 2009. With inauguration madness upon us, we’ve had a number of inquiries from friends and friends-of-friends about dining recommendations for the District and Old Town. After emailing the same answers a few times, we thought we might post our thoughts for general consumption. Be advised, this is not necessarily a “foodie” list, but more of an easily-accessible-but-really-good list. Detailed contact info follows the descriptions. A few places th...

GeekSqueek: Only in Japan
http://geeksqueek.blogspot.com/2009/01/only-in-japan.html
A narrative of food, travel, and living. Tuesday, January 27, 2009. One of the greatest things in the air travel world has to be the "Magic Beer Machine" in the United Airlines Red Carpet Lounge next to Gate 31 at Tokyo Narita. A separate foam-jet to put the perfect head on it! Only the Japanese would do such a thing. God love 'em! Watch and be amazed. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Asiapalooza Part 3 - Singapore.

GeekSqueek: Great find: Hai Ky Mi Gia for noodle soup
http://geeksqueek.blogspot.com/2009/01/great-find-hai-ky-mi-gia-for-noodle.html
A narrative of food, travel, and living. Tuesday, January 6, 2009. Great find: Hai Ky Mi Gia for noodle soup. Just go. Right. Now This place is too good not to head over at your first opportunity. Why aren’t you in the car? Pleen’s hairdresser LT is a pretty serious foodie - and Vietnamese - so when she recommended a noodle joint over in Eden Center we paid close attention. Boy are we glad we did. We walked in at 11:30 today and the place was half full. By 12:15 it was packed. Hai Ky Mi Gia Dat Biet.

GeekSqueek: Tokyo!!
http://geeksqueek.blogspot.com/2009/01/tokyo.html
A narrative of food, travel, and living. Tuesday, January 27, 2009. The promise of 2 million extra people flopping onto DC’s already overloaded infrastructure was enough to motivate us for a quick trip out of town. Two tickets on United 803, a bit of a visa drama (. Mean-embassy-visa-lady), and we were off to Tokyo! We were in there for 3 days back in 2001 and have always wanted to return. Our buddy JC and her boyfriend JM made the trip possible by offering us a bed at their place. Bottom line up front:.

GeekSqueek: Tokyo Highlights: Planes, Trains, & Buses
http://geeksqueek.blogspot.com/2009/01/tokyo-highlights-planes-trains-buses.html
A narrative of food, travel, and living. Tuesday, January 27, 2009. Tokyo Highlights: Planes, Trains, and Buses. Tokyo’s Narita airport long occupied a groan-inducing role in the hearts of many of us who traveled through it on our way to other parts of Asia. Its refurbished incarnation, however, is a total pleasure both for passing through and as a point of entry. Immigration was fast and efficient - although the Japanese government now has my fingerprints and photo on disk. Asiapalooza Part 3 - Singapore.
