Flight to India : Flight news and information

Every year thousands of tourists, students and business travellers come to Milan.  Be it for work, pleasure, or both (for example studying at Scuola Leonardo Da Vinci ), you should take advantage of certain attractions during your time in this amazing city.  Some may seem obvious, you will find them in guide books or already know about them, but other destinations are hidden gems and Scuola Leonardo Da Vinci wants you to know about them! 1) See Milan from the top of the Duomo : The Duomo is breathtaking from the outside but you have to go to the top to fully appreciate it. At the top you can walk among the structure itself, admire its intricacies, and if the sky is clear, you have before you an amazing view of the city.  Many people don’t realize that you can go to the top and yes, there is an elevator.  Cost: 5€ stairs, 8€ elevator

At the moment Bali is buzzing with tourists and it’s a great time to visit this beautiful island. The weather is perfect and even better, the exchange rates for most currencies is higher than it has been. Besides that, Australians have a plethora of airlines vying for your bum on one of their seats on the Bali-Denpasar route

Fitness and food in Chicago If you’re looking for a great excuse to justify your next big-city getaway, a fitness trip could be just what you need. I recently spent a long weekend in Chicago during which my roommates and I ran a Rock-and-Roll half-marathon. Initially, we were torn between the Seattle race and its Chicago counterpart

When it comes to food prepared tableside, it’s just one of my favorite ways to have a meal. There’s just something fun about seeing your dinner prepared and cooked in front of you before being able to enjoy it. What I find interesting is that quite a lot of this tableside food preparation seems to show up at Korean restaurants with the meal usually ending with fried rice.

  I love travel magazines, I must subscribe to at least 15 of them each month besides for the emails and news I read on a daily basis, but I get inundated with ideas of awesome trips that “one day” I will refer back to.  Well, I’ve decided to start keeping a diary of sorts and post the most important points of some of these articles to alleviate the clutter here and to help give you ideas of your next vacation.  If you have questions about routes, hotels along the way, car rentals, or tours feel free to contact me and I will do my best to help you in any way that I can. From March 2010 Budget Travel magazine, I clipped an article on dream road trips: Blue Ridge Parkway 1) The Blue Ridge Parkway-Start in Asheville, which is served by many airlines or drive (from Orlando it is about 9 hours, since we are going up there in November).  One of the best and busiest times to visit is late September and October for fall foliage, apple picking, and beautiful fall weather.  From Asheville, you will be heading north through the Pisgah National Forest.  Some towns to stop along the way are Boone, Banner Elk, Blowing Rock, and Linville.  Once you hit Boone, you may want to turn around and head back to Asheville or continue on into Virginia.

This pick is an obvious but painful one. Obvious because SD26 is just so wrong on so many levels. It’s like grandpa trying to go to the nightclub, this old respected but perhaps fading San Domenico trying so desperately to be modern with a giant new space, Euro beats in the sleek wine lounge, an electronic wine list, and artsy lighting structures

A tipster happened upon the above scene in front of Del Posto about an hour ago, noting that the campaign is being run by the Restaurant Opportunities Center of New York, a group that represents workers. All restaurants in the Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich restaurant group, including Del Posto and Babbo, have been hit with a lawsuit that alleges the two committed labor violations. Bastianich has said the suit has no merit and that they will fight it to the end

When the original Community Board 2 agenda was released last week, Bobo’s Carlos Suarez was on the docket once again to obtain a beer and wine license (last time it was full booze) for the old Village Paper store space on 10th and Greenwich. Now, that item is gone , and word on the street is it’s because the landlord has signed a lease with someone else. The landlord told Eater yesterday that indeed a lease was just signed but wouldn’t unveil the identity of the mystery party.
