Passengers Rate Security Checkpoints Worst Part of Air Travel
On the Transportation Security Administration’s 10th anniversary, TSA and American travelers still have a lot of work to do on their relationship. So says a recent survey commissioned by the U.S. Travel Association, the results of which association CEO Roger Dow shared earlier this month at a press conference at Washington Reagan National Airport.

Fresh Old World Italian Cuisine at Fratelli – Wellington, New Zealand
Fratelli translates to “Brothers” and indeed two brothers are the owners of this fresh Italian restaurant in the heart of Wellington’s entertainment district. At first I was reluctant to try Fratelli’s, because well, it’s Italian food instead of New Zealand cuisine, but Fratelli is a must stop on your foodie journey in Wellington. The “Brothers” [...]
Cuba Libre – Washington, D.C.
Here’s the thing about restaurant ambiance: you want a little bit of balance. You want something unique and beautiful to look at–a place that has a certain kind of vibe. But, when going for a fine dining experience, you don’t want theme taken to the point of prom. You know, some over-the-top Disney-esque display that [...]
Happy Thanksgiving!
This never gets old. The greatest Thanksgiving moment ever aired on television was on WKRP in Cincinnati, and it’s still funny. Please note, no turkeys were hurt in the filming of this episode or the writing of this post. If you’re traveling, be safe! If you’re waiting on some grub, then turn off the computer [...]
A Kit Kat Lounge Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving means gratitude and lots of turkey for many people but in Chicago, you can add a little tease to all the turkey at the Kit Kat Lounge Thanksgiving Celebration. Why look at aunt Sadie in her cat sweater when you can watch Kinley Preston slink around as the ultimate diva host? Head to Lakeview’s [...]

Too Much is Enough: Copeland’s Cheesecake Bistro, Atlanta Ga.
OK, so there are some restaurants that get a bad rap for serving up unrealistically small portions; television and movies love to make fun of nouveau cuisine and a large plate with one tiny slice of meat, accompanied by one olive and one baby carrot. I can’t say that I’ve ever had any dinners like [...]
Heart Attack Grill for Late Night Eating in Downtown Las Vegas
The neon sign is what first catches your eye. Then it’s the proclamation that anyone 350 pounds or more eats free. This is just the beginning of what the Heart Attack Grill has in store for the hungry folks wandering downtown Vegas. It’s tempting to laugh at the tongue-in-cheek atmosphere of the eatery that has [...]
Do Your Checked Bags Need Detox?
First, we could no longer lock our checked luggage and had to start worrying about baggage handlers taking items out of our bags. Now we have to worry about them putting things in. Illegal things. Like drugs. Last week, the New York Post reported that Queens-based Roger Levans sued Delta Air Lines over his drug [...]
Fado Irish Pub and Restaurant – Washington, D.C.
Earlier this month, I attended a huge conference in Washington, D.C. Each day was packed with talks, symposia and poster presentations. To say that my brain was full by 5:00pm is an understatement. And though I made a point of trying to get out to some great restaurants while I was there, it started to [...]
