Where to eat in Lebanon

Let’s be clear. My favorite places to eat in Lebanon are at my grandmother’s houses, at my aunt’s house, at my mom’s house. But it’s not that kind of post. I could make an endless list of places that I’ve enjoyed going to since I was a kid, but instead of doing that I’m going…

10 favorite places to drink and party in Lebanon

Beirut – the nightlife capital of the Middle East. This seems to catch most people I say this to by surprise. Eating, drinking, partying, and then eating again. That’s pretty much the national sport in my home city. Make sure you do at least some of it while you’re there. There is a ton of…

Fav places to eat/drink in Boston

Food for me tends to be the most memorable thing about a place I travel to. Especially deserts! I prefer less indulgent food and dishes that aren’t too fatty or too sweet.
