ATTENTION! ATTENTION! This is a Fly&Dine Public Service Announcement. Go into any Chipotle dressed in costume on Friday after 5pm and be rewarded with a $3 burrito, order of tacos, or salad. No word on whether the costume has to be Chipotle-themed, but it wouldn’t hurt. Even better? It’s a fundraiser! They’re donating $1,000,000 of…
I do my best to post daily on Fly&Dine in the hopes that it’ll keep you coming back for more. Last week, though, I had to push pause on Fly&Dine mid-flight because I was working on a project that required my undivided attention for 14+ hours a day. Please accept my apologies, but know that…
It’s with great sadness that I say goodbye to Madrid. I loved my time here and was so happy to help the NH Collection EuroBuilding Hotel celebrate their grand re-opening. If you haven’t kept up with my trip, relive it all today while I fly back on not one, but two airlines I’ve never flown…
It’s absolutely ridiculous that my trip to Madrid is almost over. I feel like I’ve only just begun to understand this wonderful city and I would likely need a full month to truly know what I was doing here. That said, I’m loving every moment of Madrid. I’ve seen priceless works of art at the…
If you believe the hype surround the NH hotels, you probably believe they have the best breakfast of any hotel chain in the world. So… do they? I’ve been staying at the NH Collection EuroBuilding Hotel in Madrid and so far the answer is: kind of. It’s nearly impossible to say who has the best…
After flying for the majority of a day, sleeping a grand total of four hours, and spending a full afternoon on my feet, all I wanted to do was hit the bed at my hotel (the NH EuroBuilding in Madrid, which is hosting my trip). Instead, I had to go to dinner at the NH…
It’s 1am in Madrid right now. I’ve gotten roughly four hours of sleep over the past 30 hours. On the flip side, I just spent an amazing day in Spain and I want you to experience the trip with me, at least in photo-form. I’ve got a little bit of food, a little bit of…
“Solo extra sopa, por favor.” That’s what I told the cleaning lady at the NH EuroBuilding Hotel in Madrid when she came to turn down the room and asked if I needed anything else. If you speak Spanish, then you already know that I asked her for soup, not soap. She stared at me for…
Hola, amigos! I’ve been practicing my Spanish for the past week (I’d say I’m up to a 3rd or 4th grade level at this point) because I’m heading to Madrid! I can’t wait to check out the newly remodeled NH EuroBuilding Hotel — they’re the generous souls taking me to Spain — and I doubly…
Time marches on and so does Fly&Dine. Instead of wasting your time on news about boring things* like ebola and ISIS, why not catch up on some lighter fare here at Fly&Dine? These are the stories you may have missed: The Biggest Sheraton Club SPG Points Giveaway in The Brand’s History Do You Suffer From…
I didn’t want to distract you from the photos of my amazing dinner at Bazaar Meat inside the just-opened SLS Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, but in case you’re interested, here’s the menu: For my Photo Tour of Bazaar Meat, click here.
When I was in Vegas for the incredible BoardingArea Conference (aka BACon) two weeks ago, I was treated to dinner at the brand-new Bazaar Meat at the SLS Hotel & Casino. If you’ve ever been to one of the Bazaars in LA or Miami before, you know they hit the sweet spot between traditional Spanish…

SPG is offering its richest Sheraton Club points giveaway ever — up to 3,000 extra Starpoints (500 for one night, 1,000 for two nights, 3,000 for three nights)…
I’ve never been on the receiving end of an NPR pledge drive before, but after being mentioned in a story on NPR’s excellent “The Salt” food blog this week, I saw a giant leap in visitors to Fly&Dine. I wish I had tote bags to give to all of you as thanks for checking out…
