Cress_Travel: Duesseldorf 2010: The Victorian

http://www.cress-travel.com/2010/05/duesseldorf-2010-victorian.html

Gastronomical advice for those who travel. Monday, May 17, 2010. Duesseldorf 2010: The Victorian. On a dreary day in downtown Dusseldorf (say that three times fast), with the unseasonable chill of a Spring rain pouring down, I found myself wandering the district in search of a fine dining experience. My concierge at the esteemed Breidenbacher. Recently renovated), pointed me toward the The Victorian. Just a few blocks away amongst the high-end shops that litter the Koenigstalle. Apple foam; a poached pra...

Cress_Travel: April 2009

http://www.cress-travel.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Gastronomical advice for those who travel. Saturday, April 25, 2009. I awoke early on what promised to be the first real "summer" day in Chicago. The sun was bright and I gathered my paper and a new book, and headed to grab a coffee and some breakfast. Unfortunately, a heavy summer storm emerged and I retreated back into my house to do some chores. The rain passed quickly, and while the sky remained dim it was a warm day. I wandered out to my favorite local breakfast place, Ina's. It is the perfect spot ...

Cress_Travel: August 2009

http://www.cress-travel.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Gastronomical advice for those who travel. Tuesday, August 11, 2009. Corfu 2009: Part 1. This holiday is one of pure relaxation, and should give me ample time to do some much-needed catch-up. But before I get to that, let's talk Greece. I have spent time in Athens, hiked the Vikos Gorge and Mount Olympus in my younger years, but had never experienced the Greek Isles before Monday. This all makes you feel much more like you are returning to your private home in a small mountain community than going to a v...

Cress_Travel: May 2009

http://www.cress-travel.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Gastronomical advice for those who travel. Saturday, May 30, 2009. As usual, I am catching up on my enormous backlog and places from my past. I was privileged enough to enjoy. In Chicago the first week it opened; since then, I have hosted many a client, friend and even several parties at the reclaimed loft space on the river. After many meals at this Japanese "steakhouse", I can recommend a number of dishes that constitute a perfect meal. Other sushi dishes are well-done and taste as if you were at the f...

Cress_Travel: December 2009

http://www.cress-travel.com/2009_12_01_archive.html

Gastronomical advice for those who travel. Friday, December 18, 2009. Guys guys guys" to quote a friend - I am going to stop apologizing as an introduction to each post. I am not keeping up in an efficient way with the blog. I am, however, still eating quite healthily (well, not healthy eating but plenty of eating), so here we go with a few to the end the 2009 vintage of Cress Travel. The new spot Nightwood. Is attracting a diverse bohemian and foodie crowd to the Pilsen. Hip waitstaff seated us and revi...

Cress_Travel: Dusseldorf 2010: Tanta Anna

http://www.cress-travel.com/2010/05/dusseldorf-2010-tanta-anna.html

Gastronomical advice for those who travel. Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Dusseldorf 2010: Tanta Anna. Walking through the old city can be a touristy trap or a delightful respite back in time. When I asked for a 'traditional' spot to dine on my second night in Dusseldorf, the helpful concierge pointed me to Tanta. In the old city. I became suspicious that I had taken a wrong turn on this pleasant, sunny Spring eve as the pedestrian traffic thinned markedly upon entering the Andreastrasse. Menu: a veal liver pate...

Cress_Travel: Chicago 2010: "Bike & Brunch" - Chez Joel

http://www.cress-travel.com/2010/05/chicago-2010-bike-brunch-chez-joel.html

Gastronomical advice for those who travel. Sunday, May 23, 2010. Chicago 2010: "Bike and Brunch" - Chez Joel. Is a true French bistro set in the heart of Little Italy (there is no "little France" in Chicago). It is simple yet refined. Small romantic tables, French posters and an outdoor area set in a brick walled garden. Why then would this be a spot to bike to for brunch? So, terribly under dressed. We gulped some water and sampled hot, fresh-baked bread with butter and jam, which was excellent. Subscri...
