April has been an amazing month and there is much to share… I may send out another newsletter in two weeks because I can’t contain it all in this one!

Have five food/drink/travel-loving friends sign up for The Perfect Spot newsletter, and I’ll give you free “The Perfect Meal” recommendations for a meal based on your request (e.g. exploring a new neighborhood, date night, eating Vietnamese, German, etc…) In Wandering Traveler, I regularly cover places all over, so let foodie-travel-adventurer friends beyond the Bay Area know, too.

Every month, I share Top Tastes, favorite new dishes, drinks and bites from my culinary explorations. Take a look at Oakland’s Marzano in Around the Bay. Favorite events I hit this month, in Happenings, include Meatpaper’s Pig Party and Ministry of Rum. And… back in Los Angeles again for Wandering Traveler.
