Adding to the local range of European fare around South Beach is Paul, a brilliant recreation of a classic French bakery/cafe that originally made its debut at the end of the nineteenth century in Lille, France.
There are four other sister stores of Paul around South Florida, but only this recent Lincoln Road location delivers the authentic design of the old country, from the walls of striated Zebrano wood to the elongated metallic lettering to the brick and marble details of the interior.
The fare: be prepared to be swept off your feet by the scrumptious artisan breads, baked from custom-grown, winter wheat and milled flour with natural ingredients. If you’re like many visitors, you’ll be carrying home at least a few samples of brioche and rolls. For a lunch-time standard that stands out, try the Croque Monsieur sandwich, a brioche-type bread that is filled with Emmental cheese and Black Forest ham. Another classic to bite into on your inevitable return: the open-faced goat cheese toasty with chopped tomatoes and basil, served on a thin farmhouse bread. A sweet pastry (anything from a dazzling selection of pains au chocolat, raisin danishes, or apple danishes), accompanied by a cafe au lait, makes for a fine mid-day or mid-morning refill.

I love futbol (soccer) and despite I am a fan of River Plate (eternal archrival of Boca Juniors), I visited Boca Juniors’ famous stadium "La Bombonera" (the chocolate box) just for curiosity, though there wasn’t a match that afternoon. The stadium is situated at La Boca (obviously!),...

The snow was piled sky high this winter and it seemed as though it would never melt. But winter is long gone and the city has a newfound energy that screams: I don’t have to wear boots! I can feel my fingertips! My car is not stuck in a snow bank! The streets are bustling with people and everyone...

Flying, driving, and taking buses are all practical ways to get around, but they can ultimately be rather booring. When visiting Denver, try a more fun form of transport. Here are some suggestions:

Wondering around in Padova for an afternoon is easy to do. The streets offer a lingering stroll through a city that has retained much of its "Authentic Italian" feel despite the proximity to Venice, which is a huge tourist draw, and Vicenza, which is the location for the US Army base. The streets...

Here in America, we have yet to develop our own tradition of communal bathing. Unlike Scandinavians or the Japanese, we have yet to create a distinct style of cleansing and detoxification.

You have less than two weeks to figure out what you’re going to do for mom, and let’s be honest, dinner at Swiss Chalet…again, isn’t gonna cut it this year. If you’re going to be in Toronto for the day devoted to mom, try something new. Mariposa Cruises, the company that...

After the marathon had finished, or at least until I saw my friend Giacomo finish in a triumphant celebration as he passed my viewing point on via Roma, I decided to enjoy some of the beautiful day and explore Padova more thoroughly.

It may seem a strange suggestion to spend an afternoon in a slum. How about one of the largest slums in the world?
Favelas, the slum areas of Brazil, dot the countryside – in fact, there are 350 of these impromptu villages in Brazil, many of them within Rio’s city limits. Run by (often rival) drug...

I was driving on the roads of Roxas Boulevard in Manila. The heavy traffic gave me time to observe the world outside the comforts of my air-conditioned car. Amidst the confusing road signs and vehicles haphazardly zipping past each other, I spotted him.

There’s a bar on every corner in Barcelona. Some are better than others. The thirst for night life is so strong in Spain that almost any night of the week one will find friends sipping mojitos in small taverns, clubs, and bars around town. Here are just a few:

True, it can be crowded and smoky, not to mention loud and standing-room-only. Still, the Harlem Jazz Club holds a special place in my heart for its unique ability to make any hum-drum night a whole lot of fun. Harlem is one of the best bohemian-bar, small concert venues in the city. This could...
