Just returned from an unreal trip to Hong Kong and Japan, I am right back into long days of writing and savoring the warm, sunny days and invigorating fall air of home.
This issue:
Top Tastes – My Food Articles, October 16-31: 18 of my current Zagat articles on new restaurants, under-the-radar lunches and comfort food dishes, and more.
Brittany-style crepes in the Haight (see Top Tastes)
Imbiber – My Drink Articles, October 16-13: 4 of my current Zagat articles on a new coffee destination, wine and spirits in Napa, a carbonated draft cocktail menu, and more.
Wandering Traveler – New Orleans: In my annual return to my beloved Nola, standout cocktails at new and established bars.
Imbiber – 3 Spirits Picks for October: My top 3 new spirits releases — a gin, rum and Scotch — this month.
As your personal concierge who tells it like a good friend would, I also create personalized itineraries: trips, meals, explorations (under “Services“).
