    I do a ton of research on a city before I go. I like to make sure I’m seeing the sites and eating the best food, planning the best travel routes to optimize time and have extra time for unexpected things that may come up. So as I did my research on places to eat…

    I’ve had stroopwafel before. But while doing my research I heard about Albert Cuyp Market. I never had a stroopwafel warm before so I thought I’d check it out. The market has many stalls selling everything from cheap household goods, clothing, stuff you can’t think anyone would ever want, produce, and other foods. Original Stroopwafels…

No thanks also, I’ve had the fries in Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and Belgium and I need to say Duckfat, leave your Belgian fries to the Belgians please. I’d be totally okay if you became a milkshake…

    I am somewhat familiar to the man behind Meyers Bageri, Claus Meyer (who is also a founder of Copenhagen’s Michelin starred Noma), due again to Iceland. Meyer and Gunnar Gíslason, who is the chef behind Dill in Reykjavík, have partnered to bring the New Nordic food scene to New York City back in 2016. A…

    You might be familiar with the name Kon Tiki as the now defunct Weinstein Company released a film by that name in 2012 which is based off of the story of the Kon Tiki. I went to the Kon Tiki museum while in Oslo and on my last day in Iceland watched the film as…

    7 Congress Square, Portland, ME 04101 It is quite small. You can definitely get through the whole museum in an afternoon or less. They do have a couple of Robert Indiana’s, Monet’s, and Renoir’s pieces which I found thoroughly enjoyable. They get some traveling exhibits and show documentaries as well. Their cafe is so so…

    Granola is a spot that’s popular with locals and tourists alike. I arrived and there was a wait, this is a good sign I thought. But looking back, I’m honestly not sure why. I go in and there was a small table pushed in the corner where I was able to sit without a wait,…
