Mom Post: The Things You No Longer See at Airports
My Mom is the best. She does all kinds of mom things, like making prime rib when I come into town and driving a Honda Accord with a vanity license plate. She also sends me articles that might make for good Fly&Dine posts. I have zero time today to give you something new, so instead,…
Get the Best Views of Manhattan from… JFK Airport?
We all know that getting a bird’s eye view of a city from an airplane is a breathtaking experience. Whether it’s flying in over the twinkling skyline of Chicago at night or glimpsing the first signs of land as you approach Hawaii, views from planes can be transformative. Views from airports? Not so much. I…
Corner Bakery Rolls Out More Locations to Airports
Rolls out! I said “rolls out!” Because it’s a bakery. Man do I amuse myself. In any case, fast casual chain Corner Bakery Cafe just announced that they’re gearing up for “aggressive expansion” in airports according to Gary Price, President of Corner Bakery Cafe. The brand has existed at ATL for a while now and…

This Mind-Blowing 8-Layer Birthday Cake Left Me Speechless
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…

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…
You’ll Never Guess Which City Has the Most Expensive Room Service
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…
A Call to 911: How Last Night’s Dinner Ended with an Ambulance
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…
What Kind of Food Do They Serve on the EVA #HelloKitty Planes?
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…
