Remember the steps John Wick fights his way up in John Wick 4? You can go there! I went there.
I have (not surprisingly!) been eating quite well in Paris, but the meal I just had at Bistrot Victoires is going to be hard to top.
Yep, another city, another cemetery. This one can’t even come close to the amazing Monumental Cemetery in Milan, but it’s definitely worth a visit.
Breizh Cafe specializes in galettes (buckwheat crepes stuffed with various fillings), and wow. That’s all I’m going to say. Wow.
Okay, I guess I’ll say a bit more than “wow,” but I think that about sums it up.
There are a lot of really great gelato places in Toronto. A handful of them are so delicious that I was honestly under the impression that they were probably just as good as the gelato in Italy.
I was wrong, it turns out!
Trani actually makes for a thoroughly delightful day trip from Bari; it’s a quick, cheap train ride away, and it’s extremely scenic.
Octopus sandwich from Rosticceria Lo Sfizio del Borgo Antico
There were several vendors selling octopus sandwiches in the old area of Bari, so I figured I should probably try one. This was totally fine; the octopus was quite tender and tasty, but otherwise none of the flavours here particularly popped, and the bread was so aggressively crusty that it was difficult to bite through.
Carbonara from Pasta a Gogo
Pasta a Gogo serves a handful of pasta dishes that they make fresh — it’s mostly a take-out joint, though they do have a couple of tables outside. The woman behind the counter spoke English fluently, so I asked her what her favourite was, and she answered “carbonara” without even a millisecond of hesitation. So that makes ordering quite easy; carbonara it is! And yeah, she’s not wrong to be enthusiastic about it; it’s ultra-rich and creamy, and the crispy pieces of guanciale are salty, porky, and satisfying.
The Magic Kingdom is the classic Disney park, and it serves some pretty memorable food.
After spending a couple of days at the two Disney parks in California, I immediately flew to Orlando to spend four days at the four Disney parks in Orlando. Because hey, if you’re going to do something, you may as well go all the way. Multi-day Disney extravaganza it is.
