Immersive, interactive, and Instagram-ready art is incredibly popular these days, and you can find some of the most impressive in the massive digital museums created by the TeamLab art collective: Borderless and Planets. We visited Planets first, and had so much fun that we decided to also visit ... continue reading...
Tempura Uchitsu, Tokyo
One of the meals I was most looking forward to in Japan was tempura. It's a truly elegant experience that bears almost no resemblance to the usual tempura platter of mixed vegetables and 2 shrimp. A true tempura restaurant is very similar to a sushi restaurant, where the chef works behind a ... continue reading...
Tikal and Yaxha, Guatemala
Things to know about Tikal: It's an ancient Mayan city, a center of culture and trade at the height of its power around 200-900 AD One of its most famous rulers was known as Ah Cacao (aka Lord Chocolate) - and just on the basis of that name, he may be my favorite historical figure ever ... continue reading...
In the trees of Guatemala
We all spend so much time looking at our phones these days - but in Guatemala, instead of staring down at a screen, you'll find yourself constantly craning your neck back to scan the treetops for beautiful birds and playful monkeys. I wasn't sure what to expect from Guatemala, given the largely ... continue reading...

Mostly because Captain Jason of the Saroche served white and red Burgundies with dinner each night on the Saroche, but also thanks to our lunch at Les Climats. Climats are the 1200+ different ... continue reading...
Kumiko, Chicago
It's no surprise that D and I love Kumiko, an elegant cocktail bar with a healthy dose of Japanese inspiration from the team behind Oriole. Drinks are sophisticated and creative, with spirits and flavors from Japan (like ume, picked plum, in one rice-inspired cocktail). There's also a robust ... continue reading...
Next: Alinea
The creativity in the Next: Alinea menus isn't shown through food per se - the dishes and the plating are replicated precisely - but in the selection and combination of courses. Unlike the French Laundry menu, which captured a menu from a particular date in its entirety, the Alinea menus were ... continue reading...
Delicious dining aboard Saroche
Captain Jason's partner in barging and life is Chef Dawn, whose food is the final piece in the luxurious Saroche experience. She produces three incredible meals a day (plus delectable bites with a daily champagne aperitif) from a diminutive galley. Breakfast Every breakfast featured ... continue reading...
