Travel is wonderful because it expands your horizons and makes you look at the world in a completely different way. On our recent trip to Italy we were lucky enough to go on a food tour with Katie Parla. She is a badass and we learned so much about Roman culture through food: why Italians eat pizza on the go and why espresso is an afternoon drink and cappuccino is only for the morning (a rule I will continue to break).

Vinnie recounts our memorable experience at chef Massimo Bottura’s Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy.

There are about 24,000 restaurants currently open in New York City on any given day. 24,000. That means if you ate breakfast, lunch and dinner at three different restaurants every single day, it would still take you over 20 years to visit them all (maybe don't check my math on that)

If you aren't familiar with Pelican House, I would definitely recommend checking it out. They are known for their extensive beer menu but are about to expand into a full service restaurant and if this brunch is any indication, we are in for a treat.
