This doesn’t exactly fall under the food-focus of Fly&Dine, but as a public service I thought it would be worthwhile to share my experience of buying bespoke clothing on my recent trip to Hong Kong. In September, I traveled to Thailand for one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. I zoomed around the country…
Happy Easter Sunday to those celebrating! Have you had a good week? I have. Now that the bulk of my Hong Kong stories are done and posted (one more coming this week and then we’re totally done), I thought it would be a good idea to do a little wrap-up of all the stories I…
In the April issue of Travel + Leisure, writer Melanie Lieberman goes deep inside the beast that is the airline snack industry for an in-depth expose on– wait. No. That’s not true. There’s no incisive investigative reporting, but there is a pretty fun listicle/slideshow about the best snacks served on-board various airlines. From Delta’s might-as-well-be-called-Deltoff’s…
On my return flight from Hong Kong (HKG) to Los Angeles (LAX), Cathay Pacific provided me with a seat in Business Class. That was mighty kind of you, Cathay, and the seat was much appreciated. While other blogs may cover the seats (fully lie-flat!) or the entertainment options (plenty of great movies!), we here at…
When it comes to Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), Cathay Pacific pretty much rules the roost. How else to explain the fact that they operate five different lounges at HKG? FIVE! That’s a tremendous amount and during my recent trip back from HKG -> LAX, I had just enough time to stop in at two…
The closest most of us will ever get to a royal feast is the mighty hotel brunch. On Sundays across the globe, hotels set up massive displays of epicurean excess and all you have to do to partake is open your wallet. In Hong Kong, Sunday brunching is almost a required activity. In fact, it’s…
I just returned from my once-in-a-lifetime trip to Hong Kong where I devoured so much top quality food that the scale in my room at the InterContinental taught me the Cantonese word for “fat.” It was all worth it, though. I hope you’ve enjoyed reading my posts from the trip so far (click each word…
Do you guys watch Grimm on NBC? If so, you probably know Claire Coffee as the Hexenbiest/witch Adalind Schade. You also might know her as Nadine Crowell on General Hospital or Janie Ross on Franklin & Bash. I’m lucky enough to know her as my friend Claire, who happens to be a fellow Northwestern Wildcat…

If you’re flying through Phoenix Sky Harbor International (PHX), I’ve got some good news for you: The Club at PHX, a new pay-as-you-go lounge just opened its doors on April 9th. Operated by Airport Lounge Development, this new space is the only shared-use lounge at PHX, which means you don’t have to be a member…
I promise I was planning on ordering something healthy. Then I saw the Waffle Grand Slam on the room service menu and I just couldn’t say no. It’s exactly the kind of decadent “that can’t be real†type of dish that draws you in like a tractor beam. If you fall prey to its siren…
“Imagine this as your living room while you’re here.†That’s the direction I was given when I first laid eyes on the Club InterContinental overlooking Victoria Harbour (yes, I’m spelling it the British way. When in Rome Hong Kong…). After a few visits, I started getting angry that my actual living room wasn’t nearly as…

I’m in Hong Kong for a little over a week and I’m hunting down the best food this city has to offer. I’m already four days in and have been lucky enough to enjoy spectacular meals at Michelin-starred restaurants (Pierre, Lung King Heen, Caprice, Spoon by Alain Ducasse) and local favorites (Yat Lok, Crystal Jade…
