3 DAY FOODIE ITINERARY FOR GRANADA, SPAIN

3 DAY FOODIE ITINERARY FOR GRANADA, SPAIN

Granada, Spain is by far the most historically and culturally rich city in Spain. When you think of the typical Spanish dream, you’re thinking of tapas, siestas, flamenco, bullfighting, cobblestone streets, etc. Granada has that all.  Although 3 days is hardly enough time to see all there is to see in Granada, it is just enough time to leisurely see the main sites while eating your way across the city. In only three days you can try dozens of different…

THE RED-ROOFED MEDIEVAL CITY OF PRAGUE

THE RED-ROOFED MEDIEVAL CITY OF PRAGUE

NEW YORK CITY’S GIFT TO THE WORLD – THE MET

NEW YORK CITY’S GIFT TO THE WORLD – THE MET

PixCell-Deer#24 by Kohei Nawa Now, this is going to sound cliche, but half of the appeal of the Met is the journey it takes to get there. The Met is located on the Upper East Side right on the border of Central Park. I think the Met is technically inside Central Park, but whatever. I went to school near Columbus Circle which is only a mere 30 minute walk through the park from the Met.  My walk through Central Park…
