We had already decided to eat at Kismet, but a friend who is an expert on LA tips convinced us that we should save Kismet for later. Right now, we would not want to […]

Watching a Chef’s Table documentary of a restaurant makes you curious to visit. The minute we had booked our stay in Mexico City, we made reservations at Enrique Olvera’s restaurant Pujol. Olvera has a restaurant in New York as well. We ate in Cosme last year, before knowing whose place it was, […]

Here’s something to try. Boulettes Larder Restaurants come and go, Boulettes Larder remains, although the concept has developed since the restaurant opened over a decade ago. Besides the quality of the food, there is something very unique about this […]

BasBas & Staff Wine Bar serves great wine and a changing selection of small plates in a no-nonsense yet cozy setting. If you have tried and liked some friendly neighborhood Bar à vin in France, you will totally love […]

The small island lies in the Mediterranean 100 km southwest of Sicily and 60 km east of the Tunisian coast. A dammuso is a typical Pantellerian dwelling, and the best option for staying on the island is to rent […]

Set in a Georgian house in the heart of Marylebone, it is such a charming and easy place to stay in London, and the location is fantastic. The hotel has 24 rooms only, including one suite, and a tiny, apparently very popular, […]

Chiltern Firehouse features 26 rooms and suites and although it opened just a few years back, it has a unique charm like it has been there forever and seen everything. You are used to that magical […]

]]> Eating NY http://www.minutes.fi/themes/in-new-york/eating-ny/ Thu, 24 Nov 2016 17:58:37 +0000 http://www.minutes.fi/?p=2815 There are so many great restaurants in the city – and outside of it – that in a way I find it difficult to list anything. You want to try everything and eat everywhere. Still, many of the top rated places are not ones I would return time after time. Like Kosaka, which was outstanding […]

We have been friends before but with all the fresh and vital summer food it would be insanity to live on avocados grown somewhere very far, picked raw and flown here. Well, we got snow yesterday in Helsinki. So the season of local vegetables grown in the […]

Fred Segal 8100 Melrose Avenue Fred Segal opened as a jeans-only store in 1961. Today, it carries a well-curated mix of American and international brands focused on casual style and still, great denim. Mauro’s Café, […]
