Oysters at the MobyArticle bySnuggled amongst the cedars at the end of Washington's Long Beach peninsula sits the Moby Dick Hotel and Oyster Farm. Overlooking Willapa Bay, this century old inn blends the congenial warmth and funky personality of a first rate bed and breakfast with the amenities often found in a larger hotel.
A Day Exploring Cabo San Lucas Food and ShoppingArticle byWhat better way is there to start off a day in Baja than with a meal of huevos rancheros? The Mexican-style egg breakfast was served, along with orange juice, tortillas and salsa, by a delightful local girl named Maria. I enjoyed the meal in a small restaurant located in the heart of Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur.
Little Italy Serving up Italian Food At It's BestArticle byWith a reported 18,696 restaurants in Manhattan alone, deciding where to enjoy a meal in New York City is no easy task. But if Italian food is what you're craving, the obvious answer is to head to Little Italy.
Little Italy is a neighborhood in lower Manhattan known for its large population of Italians as well as the San Gennaro Festival-a large street fair held during the last two weeks of September and great Italian food. Mulberry Street between Broome and Canal Street is especially well known for its delicious Italian restaurants.

Portland Food Cart ScenePortland has recently gained a trendy reputation, yet it remains a small city with a quirky mentality. Portlanders love good food, but ask a local and you won't hear tales of fancy steaks. More likely, they'll direct you to a nearby street corner, where the smell of grilled peppers drifts out of an Airstream trailer. Plop down at a picnic table and keep an open mind. Some of Portland's best food is street food: cheap, accessible, and diverse. From tacos to waffles, this unique cart culture will have you eating like a Queen on a peasant's budget.
