On the way to our Baltic Sea voyage, we flew from Los Angeles to Dallas to London to Copenhagen. But, our flight out of LAX was early, so we stayed at the Skyways Hotel near the airport. On first blush, the place looking a little scary, but this was definitely one book not to be judged by its cover. A charming courtyard, a delicious restaurant and a lovely room make the Skyways Hotel a the perfect place to stay if you’re flying out of LAX at the crack of dawn.
Nathan’s Famous
I love hot dogs. We have dined at white tablecloth restaurants literally all over the world. Despite that, I will drive an hour out of my way if I hear about a place with a great foot long.
Because of that, I was really looking forward to getting a tube steak at Nathan’s Famous in Coney Island. Unfortunately I wasn’t terribly pleased with Nathan’s wieners, or NYC food in general. If I were to claim a city as the Great American Food City, I would have to say Chicago – now, that’s a good hot dog.
Places like Coney Island are like Mecca to me – Niagara Falls, Wisconsin Dells and Coney Island, are dying bits a touristy kitsch that grew organically around natural attractions. This kind of thing is simply impossible in the world today.
