Rome, Part II: Sweet & Savory

Kerrin — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 09:00:30 +0000

I went to Rome. And I visited the Colosseum, the Pantheon, the Forum, Campidoglio and Campo dei Fiori. But I know what you’ve all been asking. What and where did I eat ?! Even though my lists only had addresses for gelato, chocolate, torrone, pastries and breads, remember, I wasn’t alone on this trip. So [...]

Rome, Part I: A Glimpse of the Eternal City

Kerrin — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 21:26:39 +0000

One of the (many) reasons I love living in Zürich is how we are in the center of Europe. We drive thirty minutes north and we’re in Germany. Spend just over an hour on the train heading northwest, and we get off in Alsace, France. Head east for less than an hour and we’re in [...]

Postcard from Burano, Italy

I love finding goodies in my mailbox, whether it be a new magazine I am subscribed to, a book I ordered online, or better yet, surprises by way of a care package from my parents in New York City or a postcard with a simple “thinking of you” from a friend or family member around [...]

Sugar, It’s Everywhere !

I knew I’d see gelato all over the place. Trattorias and pizzerias left and right. I was told about the carnival masks I’d be confronted with too, in every size and color. And forget about “I love Venice” souvenirs – there’s no shortage of those either. But I can’t believe no one ever told me [...]

Where to Eat Gelato in Venice

Kerrin — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 10:25:55 +0000

Many of you readers agreed it was great advice in my last post about visiting Venice: Forget the map and get lost in those winding, labyrinthine streets, go up and down the foot bridges and endless stairs, and find yourself navigating passageways that will inevitably lead to… a gelateria! I can’t even guess the number of gelaterias [...]

Throw Away the Map !

Welcome to Venice. Now, get lost! Literally, that is… If I can share one piece of advice about visiting Venice, it would be to forget the map and simply get lost in Venice’s labyrinth of winding streets, foot bridges, stairs going up and down and around, leading you to dead ends or hidden churches, or [...]
