You'd even be better off in DOCKLANDS.Cheaper and more sophisticated to fly to Melbourne
Seriously, when did you transition to an Asian tourist?restaurant rec’s, Darling Harbor?
No one would ever be better off in Docklands!!!!!!You'd even be better off in DOCKLANDS.

Great city to visit, you've got all the landmarks at the National Mall i.e. Lincoln Memorial, WWII and Vietnam Memorials, etc.My youngest brother just moved to DC. I've actually never been. Any recommendations for what to do there? Any places off the touristy path? Also, anything he should do as a local?
I have to remember the name of this really great seafood joint where you can still always get a reservation if you are white. I didn't get it at first when they said on the phone to just come down and check at the door.Heading to Savannah, GA for a conference in November. Any eating, seeing or doing recommendations for someone short on free time appreciated!
didn't we do a georgia thing before? i could swear you went to something there last year or so.Heading to Savannah, GA for a conference in November. Any eating, seeing or doing recommendations for someone short on free time appreciated!
I was in Atlanta a few months ago. I’m hoping that Coke-CNN City is not the same as Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.didn't we do a georgia thing before? i could swear you went to something there last year or so.
Completely different. Sorry I don’t have any specific recs though.I was in Atlanta a few months ago. I’m hoping that Coke-CNN City is not the same as Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

Fwiffo can you please give me your top Chinese restaurant recommendations for Toronto? (and why) I don’t really mind the style, it should just be authentic food. I have two recommendations already and hope to get those confirmed.
At the risk of bellinmad calling me a condescending prick
Thanks a lot! I thought it’s more similar to asking for good Italian food in Toronto, but anyway. My only requirement is that it must be Chinese food, not some Western bastardization of it. My favorite Chinese cuisine is Sichuan from Chongqing but I don’t know any other (real) Chinese cuisine so I don’t care really. Will probably be for dinner but that depends on a lot of factors. Current favorite was Crown Princess (Bay/Irvin), so thanks a lot for the additional recommendations!You are up for anything? At the risk of bellinmad calling me a condescending prick it is like asking for good Italian food in Italy.
Off the top of my head, Yu's Seafood probably has a bit of everything and is actually within city limits. It's posh though.
My mother's extended family is always going to Casa Imperial for anything from a funeral wake to a birthday party. Fishman Lobster Clubhouse if you want to develop a cholesterol problem.
One of my first bosses just ditched Hong Kong last year to come here and he suggested Starchiva Cuisine and The ONE Fusion Cuisine in Richmond Hill.
What are you looking for though? Lunch? Dinner? North or southern food? Even in the south there is banquet style, bbq, dim sum, seafood, canteen/cafe.
Except for Yu and I think Casa double check if they accept credit cards. Cash is always accepted as the Chinese never only have one set of accounting books.

Excellent, thank you. Plenty of interesting places, a lot of them too far away though. I guess rather randomly picking something around Kensington market, if all else goes wrong, will still be better than what I‘ve available here.
I need to get back to Portland, after learning that there is a vegan, vampire-themed strip club there (Casa Diablo).
All very different aesthetics. All I know is Roma would be a distant last of those 3.Milano? Napoli? Roma?
If you only had funds and time to visit one... Which one?
For a tourist easily Rome. Naples #2 with Milan being a very distant third .Milano? Napoli? Roma?

Yah. Where are you going and what do you want to do?Planning a week on Costa Rica with the fam. Anyone here familiar?
Thanks, man!Yah. Where are you going and what do you want to do?
Thanks, man!
Going with a 10 and 13yo for a week in the northern Spring for a week. A little bit of hiking and volcano/ animal reserve stuff, but mostly beach activities. Looking for somewhere nice that isn’t a resort and isn’t full of people- probably an Airbnb or similar.
I prefer Milan out of those 3 but for you Fwiffo , Naples would appeal more, it has more character, very good street food (Bologna's food is the best in Italy but that is a different place). In addition, Naples has incredible night life, people are friendlier though you have the seedy element which is not overblown but adds to the charm.
Be warned, I have been to a few cities and nowhere, I repeat nowhere, can prepare you for the amount of trash strewn across Naples for a first world country. Yes, people would say it has been cleaned up and compared to the 90s and noughties, maybe. I went there last summer and it was frankly, a dump.
You can also get a change of pace and take the short ferry ride from Naples to one of the Islands ( I recommend Ischia) for a day.
For a tourist easily Rome. Naples #2 with Milan being a very distant third .
milan and Naples are better for shopping, but museums, architecture, churches all best in Rome. Food is also close between Rome and Naples with Naples having better seafood offerings (And coffee), but you can take a high speed rail from Rome to Naples in about an hour. Same with Florence. 3 to Milan
however living is an entirely different matter….
Check out Nosara and other similar beach town around Nicoya. You’ll need a car. There are a couple of surf schools there if your kids are into that. We did a 10 day one and it was a lot of fun for the kids.
Tortuguero animal reserve is amazing. I’d skip the Arenal volcano.
^^ To add to that, if visiting staying near Nicoya, go to Tortuga Island (day trip).
