In the end, it's what's on the inside that counts. :)

Back to the Future with Obi Wan Jon-obbi

Is it him?

I can't quite see...speed up some more!

Almost close enough to see his face...just a bit more!

Too much! Now we'll never know...was it Obi Wan Jonobbi...or wasn't it?

Halal Street Meat in New York = Happy Us

I've watched enough Anthony Bourdain to know not to skip the local street meat. And hey, we didn't even get sick once!


Just down from the door of our Grand Hyatt with 5 star restaurants, we opt for street meat and pretzels which awaited us in front of Grand Central Terminal.

Papa? 
There's at least one on every street corner, but never a long line. What are the various reasons that could be?

From the Top of the Rock...the Rockefeller Building...you could still smell the halal hodogs, Atta go, New York street meat vendors.


Phil and Sebastian

Phil and Sebastian boast Calgary's (arguably) finest coffee, making a trip down to the Marda Loop or Chinook Mall so worth while. The nice thing is, the service is as great as the beverages. Try their espresso with bold fruity undertones or the latte.
