I don’t want to talk about this too much; it might make the Gods jealous. On the other hand, the whole SiamJunk experience is so wonderful that it deserves sharing. Imagine being in Phuket (Southern Thailand), boarding a yacht equipped with six luxury en-suit cabins and an attentive staff that includes a gifted cook. Perhaps [...]
Can you guess where I am? Let me give you some hints. Cheese is the major product, with raclette and fondue the favorite dishes. People dress in embroidered folk costumes and yodel. If you hang around long enough, you could probably hear an alphorn and would certainly spot a Heidi playing among the half-timbered chalets. [...]
Although Marion Busacker has lived in Stuttgart, Germany, only three years, she knows the city inside and out. As the Stuttgart Tourist Office’s press and public relations representative, it’s her job to know what the city offers and to showcase the best of the best to the press. She says that she worked as a [...]

I love diners. I love breakfast in diners. Not tablecloth places that call themselves diners, or the chic “retro”ones that put in a jukebox and red-plastic booths and make believe they are authentic. No, I like real, old-fashioned, Formica-table and tile-floor, long-established neighborhood diners that are warm and friendly and offer food like mom might [...]
Those who subscribe to author Terry Moore’s chocoholics 12-step program—“NEVER BE MORE THAN 12 STEPS FROM CHOCOLATE, ” should head to Belgium, as it has to be the most densely packed chocolate-rich country on earth. Although Belgium does not have the climate to grow cocoa beans, it does have the skill, standards and savvy to [...]
Lucy Buffett (yes, Jimmy’s sister) runs the exceedingly popular Lulu’s at Homeport Marina, a restaurant on the Intercoastal Waterway in Gulf Shores, Alabama. With service both indoors and out and live music, Lucy’s “high-class dive” attracts boaters, families, tourists and neighbors to dine on casual-beach-bar type food. Although Lulu’s features predictable Alabama pub fare heavy [...]
Almost every city has a farmer’s market, but best of them all has to be the Dane County Farmer’s Market in Madison,Wisconsin. Held outdoors, rain or shine, every Wednesday and Saturday from May to November (and indoors, on Saturdays, in winter), the market draws the most crowds on summer Saturdays when vendors set up about [...]
Although it is self-designated “the smallest town on earth, ” Durbuy is large enough to have a restaurant serving what my traveling companions claim is one of the biggest taste treats in all of Belgium. Considering the nature of our trip, this is super-size praise for any size town. I was traveling with four fellow [...]
angkok is bursting with fabulous food. North, south, east, west, up, down, all around, Bangkok is stacked, jam-packed, overloaded and overflowing with good places to eat. The choices are nothing short of overwhelming, so Sweet Leisure turned to a knowledgeable authority for suggestions.
Specialty-of-the-house cocktails from very special places including Hotel Danieli, Dolce La Hulpe Brussles and the Crystal Symphony. Cheers!
