The Best Dinner In Virgin Gorda: Why Coco Maya Is Worth The Hype

The Best Dinner In Virgin Gorda: Why Coco Maya Is Worth The Hype

Comments 0 Comment

If you’re looking for the absolute best meal and dinner experience on Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands, look no further than Coco Maya. I had read some reviews, and folks at the resort recommended this place, but I typically have relatively low expectations for restaurants at the top of popular “best-of” lists. Coco Maya is a huge exception to this rule, and you should not hesitate to book dinner here. You do need reservations, so make sure you take care…

Why the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame is Worth the Trip to Cleveland

Why the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame is Worth the Trip to Cleveland

Comments 0 Comment

No trip to Cleveland would be complete without a visit to the Rock N’ Roll Hall of Fame. In fact, many come to Cleveland as a pilgrimage to these hallowed grounds, and you’d be hard pressed to find more music artifacts in one place, anywhere. We visited with our family in late June of 2025. On our second visit here, we were amazed at how the exhibits change somewhat regularly, marveled at some of the newer movies you could watch,…

A Different Kind of Fine Dining: The Loyalist, Chicago, Delivers Michelin Quality Without the Michelin Price Tag

In between all of this luxury travel, I’ve been trying to save some money at home, and one of the best ways I’ve found to do that and STILL be able to enjoy Michelin-level extraordinary food, is check out the bars and companion restaurants to the real deal. This is a review of The Loyalist, which is three-star Michelin Smyth’s baby basement bar brother. Definitely click here for my ode to Smyth, which was easily one of the best meals…

Where To Eat On Virgin Gorda: Hog Heaven Serves Up The Best BBQ And Views

Comments 0 Comment

If you’re looking for some epic views, as well as epic BBQ on Virgin Gorda, BVI, look no further than Hog Heaven, right smack in the middle of the island, and close to the highest peak around. We enjoyed dinner here in early June, 2025 after hearing some rave reviews. Hog Heaven is an understated space that looks like a typical local restaurant from the side of the road. It’s a huge space though, with lots of outdoor seating, as…

Sailing The BVI In Style: Why Bowline Yachts Is The Best Day Sail From Virgin Gorda

Comments 0 Comment

While staying in the British Virgin Islands, I knew I wanted to treat the family to a full day sailing around the islands. We had a similar outing in Malta, and it was easily one of the best days of that trip. Rosewood Little Dix Bay recommends two different outfits for a day sail, one being a catamaran (which you see all over the place down here), and one is a truly legit sailboat. I had originally attempted to book…

EL Ideas is the kind of place that you dream about when you book a special, Michelin-starred dinner. It’s located in a hidden, one-way street in the middle of the Douglas Park neighborhood of Chicago, which is mainly industrial; there is only room to seat about 20 people; it’s BYOB, so you won’t be paying marked up prices for booze (and allows the chef to really focus on the food); Chef Foss is there every day, hosting his intimate dinner…

Discover Doria Pamphilij Gallery: Rome’s Quiet Treasure of Baroque Splendor

Comments 0 Comment

The Doria Pamphilij Gallery is a bit of an under-the-radar spot for some epic art viewing, but if you want to be impressed with a super fancy villa that’s in really great shape in the heart of Rome, that has literally piles of art adorning every single square inch of every wall, definitely come here. You can easily buy tickets in advance, and I usually recommend doing so, although this gallery is not as busy as most others in Rome,…
