Toronto is a city worthy of a visit longer than just a few days. It’s a pity I had less than 72 hours, but I packed in as much as I could. Continue reading

Searching for Suds in Singapore
As far as signature drinks are concerned, Singapore has an alliterative gem with the Singapore Sling. However, I’d heard about the emerging craft beer scene in Singapore and I was eager to sample the suds on this shiny city offers. After a morning of wandering around town, I headed to Brewerkz Riverside Point. Situated on … Continue reading
Now THAT’S Bologna: Crunching and Crushing at Beaver Creek’s Food & Wine Weekend
I’ll admit it–I’m spoiled and incredibly lucky. By virtue of some very generous and well-connected friends, I often get to take part in events that I would normally not be able to attend.

Taking place in local schools, the veggies grown by the kids in the greenhouse are used in the cafeteria and scraps are … Continue reading
It’s No Myth: Discover Yak & Yeti
The name grabbed me first: Yak and Yeti conjured images of Tibet and the Himalayas and I’m a sucker for alliteration. The “Brewbpub” part clinched the deal. Located in a “haunted” Victorian mansion, Yak and Yeti retains the feel of an old house, but is lacking a bit in atmosphere. The decor is jumbled and … Continue reading
