“Do you have a body? Don’t sit on the porch!
Go out and walk in the rain!
If you are in love,
then why are you asleep?
Wake up, wake up!
You have slept millions and millions of years.
Why not wake up this morning?”

–  the poet Kabir

There are just always too many Top Tastes, best new places, dishes, drinks and bites from my culinary explorations. We’ll visit Monterey/Pacific Grove/Carmel in Wandering Traveler. Take a photo peek at Supperclub’s Uber Dinner II in Happenings.

Have five food/drink/travel-loving friends sign up for The Perfect Spot newsletter, and I’ll create “Perfect Meal” recommendations based on your request (e.g. exploring a new neighborhood, date night, eating Vietnamese, German, etc…) In Wandering Traveler, I’ve covered places like LA, NY, New Orleans, OC, Italy, Switzerland, Charleston, Savannah, Miami, Nashville, so let foodie-travel-adventurer friends beyond the Bay Area know, too.

I’d love your feedback on any spots visited from my site. As your personal concierge who tells it to you like a good friend would (albeit one who knows the city inside and out), I create personalized itineraries: trips, meals, explorations (check out “Services“).

Let me guide you to the perfect spot!
