The wonderful thing about spending your vacation in Patong is that there are so many outstanding restaurants you can choose from.

In the whimsical adriatic city of Venice, the citizens practice a wonderful little custom called the "giro di ombre" (the wheel of shade). It is not a custom of all Venetians, but mostly men and usually older men. However, this being said, you do not have to be a man to participate. You not have to be old. Anyone can do it, and in fact many younger Venetians (including women) are now caught up in this thing called the giro. Mostly though, you will see groups of men, three, five, or six, maybe more, one can even do it solo. I often go solo myself. Don't worry about being alone. You will make many friends along the way, for that's part of the "giro," making new friends, eating, imbibing, in general...

It's Friday and you don't know where to go to dinner with your family. It seems that you have tried almost every restaurant out there and the food they offer is almost starting to taste the same. You want to have a nice meal, but don't want to have to spend your entire paycheck to do so. That's when you have to go get some Claim Jumper coupons and treat yourself and the family to one of the best eateries out there offering some of the best prices! The reason I encourage you to find Claim Jumper coupons is that I know how much money you can save when you find the right ones. Why pay full price when they are willing to help you out with the bill. A Claim Jumper coupon is not hard to find at all. The...

Headwaiter/waiter must ensure that menus are in excellent condition (depending on location), stands on the right hand side of the guest, with the menu opened on...

Tastes, crispy, crunchy, fries and cod and seafood bites from the bait shop. What a thrill to read that my once secret seafood dive was featured in one of my favorite magazines, Coastal Living. A true beach shack, I did not mention it on our website on purpose. I wanted to savor it all for myself. But, now the word is out about the New Pass Grill in Sarasota, Florida...between Lido and Longboat Key...on the way to the famed Mote Museum and aquarium. The locals refer to this casual, 1929, barefoot beach bargain as the bait shop. Next to the fresh fish café is the City Island bait shop. You can buy bait, go fishing, hire a captain, rent a boat, take a nature walk, buy an oyster knife, pack a...

When it comes to fast food, McDonald's and Burger King are among the biggest players in the game. Both of these fast food giants have been in business for over 50 years. The former generated 21.6 billion dollars in revenue last year while the latter only pulled in about 2.06 billion. Based on these numbers, some might be tempted to think that Mickey Dee's is clearly winning here but it does not necessarily mean that they make a better hamburger. Let's take a closer look. We will start with McDonald's in our hamburger showdown. A typical burger from Mickey Dee's weighs about 100g, has 9g of fat, 520g of salt and 31g of carbohydrates. It is made of 100% beef (or so they claim). In terms of preparation...

What you see - With the boom in the social scene and a considerable increase in purchasing power, the metro finally got what it desperately needed with Bottles 'n' Chimney - an exclusive night-club with plush sofas, winding staircase and thumping music. What you get - The first level of B&C (as it is popularly known) is a quiet lounge, while the ground floor has a lot more life in it. And the bar - bang in the center of the floor - is the obvious hub of activity. There are also two tiny dance floors, one on each level, with the music being played ranging from trance and club music to remixes and Indian theme music. The club also has a large screen put up mainly for movies and sports. In fact...

Cinderella's Royal Table is one of the most popular restaurants in Disney World. Although it's an exceptional dining location, it can be a bit pricy and hard to get into.

Why? First and foremost, because of its ambiance and décor. It's a far cry from the usual huge dining rooms offering countless dishes and high traffic. This place is very different. It's ideal if you want to experience all-you-can-eat, top quality food in a place which will give you the impression that you are in an eye-pleasing contemporary diner with much smaller (and very nice rooms, decorated as if you were in a classy restaurant). Table and chairs are dark wood, plenty of wall pictures and other décor which you would find in a true restaurant. You will love the atmosphere if you are into 'cosier' atmospheres. We liked it. The food is delicious. Before continuing, the only downside here is, of...

Las Vegas is our favorite eating mecca because we know how to eat really well there and relatively cheaply (much more cheaply than at home!) Unlike Canada (especially Western Canada) or Western Europe, the US has many restaurants and cafes where you can eat a lot at affordable rates. However, we still think that Vegas maintains the edge, despite some resorts' current attempts to actually make a profit from their dining outlets (as opposed to using them as a means to attract potential gamblers to their casino). But, in this fun city you can still enjoy the very best buffets (and other dining outlets) for affordable prices if you do the following. Allocate your largest meal of the day to either...

Disney has the 'advanced dining reservation' system for it's sit-down establishments including character meals.

Advanced Dining Reservations do not have to be paid for in advance. You will find that at certain establishments (Cinderella's Castle, Hoop-tee-doo, etc.) advanced payment is required as well. The travel specialists at Disney will let you know if this is the case. You can make your ADR's 180 days (180 + 10 for Disney Resort Guests) before the...

The traditional family style dinner where folks gather around a large table, dining on course after course with unlimited servings is a popular pursuit for native Rhode Islanders and out-of-towners who wing it to our poultry palaces. Chicken family style, an all you can eat meal comprised of salad doused with Italian dressing, rolls, pasta (shells, ziti, or penne), and roasted potatoes or fries with those legs, breasts, or thighs, is one big Italian Job pulled inside the confines of the smallest state in the Union. Several restaurants which offer this unique tradition of dining share common attributes: their once humble abode expanded to a huge banquet facility capable of accommodating more than 1...

Beers such as the Ichthyosaur India Pale Ale continue to win national awards some 15 years after they were...

Cafes and the original concept revolving around them revolved a lot through history. Do you remember that era of greasy fry-ups? Or, what about those marshmallow teacakes and Cona coffee? Following that culture came the era of Starbucks kind of thing. It was momentarily fascinated by its coffee-flavored milkshakes meant for adults and super-size muffins. Today, the option is pretty much limited in between cafes reborn as concise tearooms (inclusive of fanciful vintage china plus tiered cake stands) and the typical deli cafes where you get lemon polenta cakes along with espresso done with Arabica beans of perfect credentials. But folks... don't get all that wrong, because this is Rachel Hamill...

The major attraction is the lagoon's rich tropical underwater life. To fully enjoy it, you would need a snorkel, mask and two fins. Don't worry because most hotels give these for free. Aside from the lagoon, most people visit Bora Bora for its historic relics. There are some archeological Polynesian relics and WWII remains scattered through the island.

The place is quite remote so don't expect to find a cinema, museum or library; so the best things you can do here is to enjoy the great outdoors. Water activities in Bora Bora include swimming in the beautiful, warm water lagoon or...

The 1950's were a period of development for Las Vegas. It had established itself as one of the premier places for the Hollywood crowd to showcase their talent and enjoy relaxation, but the town was still in relative infancy. With a population of 50,000, there had be stupendous growth over the previous 20 years, but it wasn't until the 50's that the town started seeing some of the innovations and sights that we consider to be commonplace in Las Vegas today. The building of the Desert Inn, opening in 1950, was something that Vegas hadn't seen before. They paid ultra-popular names to help with the opening, and offered elegance that hadn't been seen in a Las Vegas hotel, complete with an 18-hole golf...
