November 23, 2022 by Allison TibaldiLeave a Comment

It’s a courageous move for an airline to begin flying new transatlantic routes during a transitional time for the airline industry, but that’s exactly what PLAY has done. This Icelandic airline was founded in Reykjavik in 2019 by a team with significant experience in the aviation industry. They started flying to Reykjavik from the East Coast of the United States in 2022. I recently flew PLAY’s daily nonstop service to Keflavik, Reykjavik’s main … [Read more...]

Aspen Meadows Resort a Dolce Resort: The World’s Best Biscotti Are In Aspen, Colorado

November 13, 2019 by Allison TibaldiLeave a Comment

I’m lucky enough to have lived in Tuscany for several years. During my time in the Chianti region, I consumed hundreds of biscotti made by professional bakers and family members alike. If you’re not familiar with these baked goods, you’re missing a delectable treat. In Italian, biscotti means twice-baked and they literally are twice-baked cookies. This biscuit originated in the Tuscan city of Prato but they are now popular all over Italy and far … [Read more...]

Old Market Candy Shop For a taste of yesteryear, Old Market Candy Shop sells mouth-watering treats. Try the chicken feet, pretzel rods dunked … [Read more...]

Exploring Wine in Switzerland’s Lake Geneva Region

March 18, 2019 by Allison TibaldiLeave a Comment

As a wine enthusiast, I seek to sample wines from lesser-known regions. While I appreciate the supple richness and velvety texture of a Pomerol from Bordeaux and the complex fruit concentrations of Southern Tuscany’s great Brunello di Montalcino, it’s the pours from destinations that are not yet written on the wine lover’s map that really get my palate going. I recently visited Switzerland’s Lake Geneva Region. It’s a gorgeous part of one the … [Read more...]

Princess Cruises: New and Noteworthy Food and Wine Options

November 23, 2018 by Allison TibaldiLeave a Comment

In the debate of nature versus nurture, I’m pretty certain I was a food lover from the get-go. Born into a family of serious eaters, my food-obsessed parents honed my innate proclivities from a very young age. My New York City childhood was a culinary horn of plenty. While other babies were slurping rice cereal and applesauce, I nibbled spicy Indian samosas and Jamaican beef patties. I was blessed with restaurant-loving parents who exposed me … [Read more...]
