Morning Glory, Gloucester, MA, USA

I saw it on the specials menu. No ingredients, no description, just the name “Fish Cake Club” and an $11 price tag next to it, making it pretty much the most expensive item in the restaurant. I only wanted eggs and bacon for brunch this Sunday, but with my family egging me on, a Fish […]

29 Newbury, Boston, MA, USA

“Where should we go for lunch?” Jonathan asked me via text. I was getting used to this game: people being nice by asking me where I want to go, only for me to tell them I’m new to the city and they should make the suggestion… “29 Newbury is always easy and good” said Jonathan. […]

Acting Café, Terminal 1, Shanghai/Pudong Airport, China

All I wanted was Starbucks. That’s it. I was flying from Beijing to Okinawa, connecting through Shanghai, and with a 4 hour layover all I wanted was to sit at a Starbucks and sip on an iced latte while answering emails. I was in the international terminal of Pudong afterall, this shouldn’t be a big […]
