To continue our summer series highlighting the best in Fly&Dine, today we’re sharing Fly&Dine’s Hotel Brunch Buffet Rules, a guide for getting the most out of your All-You-Can-Eat buffet. Enjoy! You want to brunch, son? You want to buffet like a baller? Then drop the soup and listen to me. I’ve been hitting hotel brunch…
Sundays mean farmers markets and naps and obscure sports that somehow become compelling (sure, I’ll watch this jai alai match…). They also mean Fly&Dine Recaps. If you’ve gotten your fill of competitive curling and cup stacking, then go ahead and catch up on these enthralling stories from the week that was in Fly&Dine: Sneak Preview…
Birthday cake has always been one of my favorite desserts (chocolate cake with vanilla frosting, please), but after my birthday celebration last weekend, I have to admit there’s a new entrant into the birthday dessert game: the Most Promiscuous Brownie (MPB). Made by my girlfriend (Lady Fly&Dine), a trained chef who knows that the key…
Earlier today, I brought some good ol’ raw data from Hotels.com’s study of room service prices around the world. Now, I’m giving you their handy dandy infographic so you can see it all displayed beautifully in front of you. Give it a gander and enthrall your pals with details of room service all over the…
If I asked you to name the city that has the most expensive room service in the world, what would you say? New York? Tokyo? London? Those answers are all wrong. WRONG, I TELL YOU! Didn’t you say you were a room service major in college? Apparently not. Luckily, the fine folks at Hotels.com just…
I’ve never called 911 before. The closest I’ve come is calling the non-emergency police line when the cranky old man down the street threatened to do terrible things to my dog for peeing on his lawn (I still wish they had locked the guy up…). Last night, however, I made my first call to the…
There may be no better airline cross-promotion than the EVA Air/Hello Kitty collaboration. Nearly everything on board from the amenity kits to the toilet paper gets branded with Sanrio’s friendliest little cat and people go crazy for it. Now EVA is launching direct flights from Taipei Taoyuan (TPE) to Houston (IAH) and that means Hello…
Like it or not, Twitter is where we now get the most up-to-date news out there. It may not be curated, it may not even be accurate, but if you want an eye-witness account of something, Twitter’s the place to be. I’m not glued to it 24/7, but I like to keep up as much…
Did you go outside and play yesterday? I hope you did. It was the last official day of Spring 2015 and the longest day of the year, so if you were going to imbibe some fresh air, yesterday was the day to do it. Today is the day to read; catch up; get your weekly…
Forget about traveling for today. Push miles and points aside. Summer is finally here (well, technically, it’s here tomorrow). Look around you and be thankful for everything you have. Turn off the TV, get away from the internet, and go out and feel the sunshine. Spend time with your family. Meet up with old friends.…
I’ve never quite liked the word boutique when it comes to describing something that’s offering a more tailored experience than the mainstream, but I’m coming around. In fact, I really like the experience of staying at boutique hotels that feel like every detail has been thought out. I also enjoy shopping at boutique food stores…
Nowadays you can find Buffalo wings pretty much anywhere you go, but back in the day the only place you could find them was in Buffalo at the Anchor Bar, where the dish was first created. The Anchor Bar hasn’t taken advantage of their reputation as creators of wings like other famous food progenitors have…
Last November, I visited Morocco for the first time. I found myself up to my ears in olives and tagines and enthralled with the chaos of the local souks (markets/bazaars) I visited. To check out my Morocco coverage from the trip, head over here. Now that the trip has been over for months, all I…
We here at Fly&Dine know (perhaps better than most) that food on airplanes is a touchy subject. Passengers complain about the quality — or lack thereof — on a regular basis. Airlines do their best, but with massive restrictions and increasing pressure on their bottom lines, spending money on top notch meals isn’t a huge…
