New York is a melting pot of cuisines, and never more so than in the Meatpacking District where you can find a French café nestled next to a hot dog cart around the corner from a Mexican Taqueria. During our recent stay at The Maritime Hotel we found ourselves craving Pan-Asian food, thanks to the …
The Maritime Hotel, New York
Perfectly placed in the heart of the Meatpacking District, this nautical-themed landmark hotel, originally built in the late 60s as the headquarters for the National Maritime Union, was transformed into a boutique hotel in 2003. If you’ve been to that neighbourhood then you may well have noticed the Maritime Hotel towering above its neighbours with …
Les LaLanne Pop-Up Installation, Miami
We were fortunate to come across a tropical garden and immersive art experience taking place in Miami, at the Raleigh Gardens, which is part of the iconic Raleigh Hotel (one of the many art deco hotels on the infamous South Beach strip, closed for renovation at the time). The temporary public art installation focused on …
Blue Waters Resort & Spa Hotel, Antigua
We’ve held off posting any holiday or restaurant blogs whilst we all suffer through the global COVID-19 pandemic, but oddly, after nearly eight weeks of lockdown, working from home, with nowhere to venture for a break or night out – everyone’s new normal – one’s mind starts to reminisce about all the amazing places we’ve …
Korean Bulgogi (BBQ Beef)
This has to be one of Elldrew’s favourite Korean dishes; it’s simple to prepare, even simpler to cook, and is packed with delicious flavours. Say hello to Korean Bulgogi. A popular dish in Korea, with Bulgogi seen on most Korean restaurants’ menus, this dish is made up of thinly sliced beef soaked in a mouth-watering …
Lemon Basil Pasta

Once you’ve incorporated the base ingredients, suitable with most types of pasta, you can pimp your dish and add in your other favourite ingredients (ours is tomato and rocket). It really is a quick, very easy vegetarian pasta that …
Amazonico Restaurant, London

One of London’s latest restaurant openings, Amazonico is the first outpost of the Madrid celeb hangout of the same name. With no expense spared – not on the location; not on the impeccable …
Festive Restaurant Feasting 2019/20, London Style
Wow, we can’t believe that this is our 6th annual festive restaurant feasting roundup! For reasons both professional and personal Elldrew were a little quieter on the blog front in 2019, but don’t let that deceive you into thinking we haven’t continued to eat our way around London; and no more so than during the traditional …
Morso Restaurant, London
So no one has ever told us about Morso, an Italian restaurant on our doorstep in St John’s Wood, serving up seasonal small plates, handcrafted fresh pasta and delicious desserts as well as authentic Italian wines and innovative grappa cocktails! We were lucky enough to recently dine here and whilst the venue is small, we …
Kanishka Restaurant, London
It’s odd to think of heading to a restaurant for a curry dinner during summer, but as the season started to draw to a close, looking for some quiet from the tourist season madness, Elldrew ventured off to Indian restaurant, Kanishka, located in the heart of Mayfair.
