Travel with Alice: Taiwan: "Small Eats"
http://travelwithcjalice.blogspot.com/2010/10/taiwan-small-eats.html
Monday, October 11, 2010. Everyone's favorite xiao chi turns them into a child again. Everyone has their favorite(s), the one (or two) thing(s) they just can't get enough of. I'll cover our favorite xiao chi here, and then cover the remaining categories of food, like breakfast and night markets, in my next entry. I'll start with Mark's dad, because he was maybe the most enthusiastic out of all of us. He very deliberately sought out bahwan (meat filled glutinous rice ball) and eel noodles. Onto eel. I...

http://travelwithcjalice.blogspot.com/2011/09/new-york-redux-part-2.html
Tuesday, September 13, 2011. New York Redux: Part 2. So, we're still talking late March 2011 and NYC. I know, I'm SO behind! We started Day 2 with brunch hopping. We met up with my cousin, Nathan, and his girlfriend, Sandy, at The Little Owl. They were operating on NY weekend time (late! No worries, I'll definitely be back! Next, we hit Blue Ribbon Bakery. And enjoyed the following dishes:. Poached egg on top of chorizo hash. Ham and brie baguette sandwich. On our way to Yakitori Totto. We saw a SoupMan.

Thursday, June 23, 2011. New York Redux: Part 1. In 2009, I had an epic NYC foodie vacation. Planned, and I ended up leaving half of the itinerary. On the page. In late March 2011, I returned to NYC to take care of some unfinished business. We caught an early morning non-stop Virgin America flight, arriving late afternoon local time. We had just discovered the iPhone game Tiny Wings. Turkey sandwich (comes with mini-Toblerone chocolate! Mark was focused on food, even though our Jean-Georges reservations ...

Travel with Alice: May 2010
http://travelwithcjalice.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 6, 2010. If Saturday was all kinds of wonderful, Sunday was just perfection. It started beautifully with brunch at Brix. And boy does Brix. Live up to its buffet brunch reputation! It started with the food. There weren't all the usual suspects from a buffet brunch (i.e. no omelette. And cucumber, hearts of romaine with "cesar". And candied almonds, which I could not stop popping into my mouth. Who knew that chives were tipped with purple flowers? We stayed so long at Brix. It was starting t...

Thursday, June 17, 2010. Alaska: Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan. One reason cruising is a great way to see Southeast Alaska is because all the major cities of interest are accessible via cruise ship. Our first stop was Skagway, an adorable, charming town North of Juneau. It was a short, scenic walk from the boat to downtown Skagway. Again, the weather was perfection. Conner was very curious, but tentative. Mark loved them, and the feeling was mutual. By the time we finally got up to the lake, I was done&#...

Travel with Alice: What happened to New York?
http://travelwithcjalice.blogspot.com/2009/11/what-happened-to-new-york.html
Thursday, November 12, 2009. What happened to New York? So what became of the thoughtfully planned trip to New York for our third wedding anniversary, which seemed to have been going so well? The answer came quick and simple like everything else about the place, "cheese and bacon." It seemed like the specialty of the place, and who doesn't love bacon, so I went for it. With my expectations low, and my tummy empty, I found the Bistro Burger to be delicious. And pork buns and crack pie at Momofuku Milk Bar...

Travel with Alice: October 2009

Sunday, October 18, 2009. The sign, the low lighting, the friendly, soft-spoken Japanese waitstaff, and the menu - was I back at Cha Cha Hana in Tokyo? No, I was in New York, at EN Japanese Brasserie, thanks to a spot on recommendation from our friend Hana, but boy did it bring back wonderful memories of modern izakaya at its best in Tokyo. This untraditional chawanmushi was (again) perfectly light. Having just come in from the cold, I would have preferred a steaming hot chawanmushi, but completely u...

Tuesday, September 15, 2009. For a little more depth and feel for various aspects or places in Italy (particularly Venice), I recommend the following books:. The City of Falling Angels. By John Berendt (of. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Eating Up Italy: Voyages on a Vespa. By Matthew Fort,. The Companion Guide to Venice. By Hugh Honour,. Eat, Pray, Love. By Elizabeth Gilbert (at least the first part about eating in Rome), and the indulgent historic-fictional romance,. By Andrea di Robilant.
