Best Cafes of 2018

Posted on 2018-12-03 by tikichris

Excellent coffee is crucial, particularly when I’m travelling. Having comfortable places to drink it is a big deal too. So are competent and affable baristas. If you can throw in reliable WiFi and an outlet to keep my laptop and phone charged while I drink coffee, you’re golden. This list of three London espresso bars and six more in Chattanooga (Tennessee), Greenville (North Carolina), Köln, Liverpool, Pittsburgh, and Zurich met all my requirements and shined the brightest for me in 2018.

Unsung Cities | Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Posted on 2018-11-27 by tikichris

Going with Pittsburg for the start of this new series was a no-brainer. I had a great time there in September and would not be averse to making repeat visits. The blank stares I’ve received from people here in London when I say I was recently there (and loved it) suggests the city has a way to go before shaking off any unsung status. Continue reading →

Vinegar Pies and Burgers Stacked High: The Most Delicious Side of Pittsburgh (Metro)

Posted on 2018-11-20 by tikichris

Pittsburgh had been on my radar for the past couple of years as an ever-improving dining destination, so I was glad to have the chance to see what the fuss was all about for myself.

Indeed I never did. Continue reading →
