(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home1/swolko1/dev.philatravelgirl.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6131One of my favorite travel indulgences is hotel room service.

So I took a silly quiz recently to see “How British Are You” based on the list of British foods you’ve eaten. It was a fun quiz and not surprisingly I scored “you are a picky eater” which made me laugh because I won’t eat haggis for extra points. One tradition I could finally check …

New York City has a dizzying array of food options and yet, I always find myself in Midtown Manhattan in search of food – solo. While in the past, I’ve ventured to Chelsea for Eataly, the frigid weather kept me within a few blocks of the Refinery Hotel in the Garment District and the Broadway …
