ANew York City: Best walkable hidden gems!

Walk the Bowery​ - more lighting stores than anywhere on the planet.  Amazing selection of lights, lamps, you name it.  Plus a bunch of restaurant supply stores if you're into that sort of thing.  Then you can go deeper into the Lower... See More

ACorona Del Mar (California): best food, breakfast, lunch and dinner

It's not in CDM, but the best breakfast in the area hands down is Plums Cafe + Catering​ close by in Costa Mesa.  Don't let the strip-mall looking location fool you.   See More

AUnited States: SFO, LA, or NY to study and live for a year

I lived in LA for a long time, and will tell you definitively to NOT live there for the year.  Of your 4 choices, LA has the least amount of culture and is horrible for social interaction unless you really know people, which takes time.  In short, unless you have a family... See More

ALos Angeles: How much does it cost to rent a car in Los Angeles ? ( 4 days )

You generally need a car in LA.  Depending upon the season, there is a huge spread as to how much they will cost.  Most American auto insurance policies and good credit cards provide rental car insurance.  If you're international check with your credit card company... See More

ALondon: Heathrow terminal 2 to King's Cross

I personally think you're cutting it way too close because too many things can go wrong - flight delay, luggage carousel delay, customs delay, immigration delays, train delays, train line closures, and more.  But if it's not possible to change the Eurostar train... See More

ASanta Monica Blvd: Where should a tourist stay in LA (3 days)

Depending on how you wish to schedule your trip, you may wish to stay in a couple of different places.  Traffic is truly an issue, so you must account for the fact that you simply cannot drive from certain areas to others at certain times without wasting a good portion... See More
