Taxi a Manhattan Address: Calle de la Basílica, 17, 28020 Madrid Atmosphere: like a taxi? Like New York? Not sure how to describe it. It has a “cool” vibe inside the restaurant. Not too fancy, but not too casual. I went on a cold night, but there is a terrace that looks like it would […]
Restaurants in Madrid: Perrachica
Perrachica Address: Calle Eloy Gonzalo, 10, 28010 Madrid Atmosphere: like a really nice hotel lobby. Seriously! That’s what I thought when I went.

Restaurants in Madrid: Bosco de Lobo
Bosco de Lobo Address: Calle de Hortaleza, 63, 28004 Madrid (it’s easy to miss. Look for the ) Atmosphere: I LOVED the design of this restaurant.

Restaurants in Madrid: Amargo
I first heard about Amargo from my roommate, Rachel, who has a coworker that continuosly raved about the burgers. Then she went and came home raving about the burgers.

Friday Five: Difference in Customs in Madrid and Philadelphia/ the U.S.
**Not customs at the airport! Not aduanas. Hi!!! I am so happy it’s Friday! Actually, in general, I am just so happy. This week was really, really, really, really, (really) good! I think the rise in temps and sunshine has something to do with it. And fresh produce… I have been spending more time outside, […]

5 Days in Paris (Part III)
Part I HERE and Part II HERE. Day four, day four! Each day only got better and better and not one time in Paris did I think “ok, I’m ready to go home”. Sometimes, on trips, it’s easy to think “hmmm ready to get back into my routine”. But walking around, stopping for coffees and […]

Well, before all the food, we walked through an outdoor market with veggies! and fruits! and flowers! and fresh fish! and crepes! and baked good! and cheeses! and prepared foods! This market was […]
5 Days in Paris.
WHERE DO I BEGIN ??? Paris was never really a city that I was dying to go to. Sure, I wanted to see it at some point because it’s PARIS, but it wasn’t at the top of the list like Portugal / Budapest / Italy / Morocco. (I’m not even sure WHY those places have […]
