As is the case throughout Italy, I’m sure that Rome has an excellent restaurant and fine dining scene.

Cocktails and Pizza at Clerkenwell & Social

Posted on 2015-08-09 by tikichris

The food just seemed to be a sidekick for the far more inspired (and inspiring) drinks. Cocktails like the Breaking Good (Pisco infused with chilli, lime juice, tarragon syrup, homemade bitters and egg white) and Beer New World (pale ale with amaretto and Bourbon shaken with honey, lemon juice and orange bitters) took me off guard with their presentation and intriguing flavour. And at £8.95 each I thought they are were rather good value for a fun Zone 1 outing. Continue reading →

Pizza Union, Pentonville Road, King’s Cross

Posted on 2015-07-06 by tikichris

Posted on 2015-05-06 by tikichris

Okay. I’ve covered the citrus side of my Sicilian excursion – with bits about Ciaculli mandarins, Ribera oranges, blood oranges, Interdonato lemons and Syracuse lemons – and now I want to talk about some of the other equally fruitful aspects of my trip. So in the next few posts of my Le Vie della Zagara series I’m going to highlight a handful of the more remarkable sights encountered while touring Sicily. First up is the quaint and scenic mountain village of Palazzo Adriano. Continue reading →

Dixie Detours: When in Rome … Georgia

Posted on 2014-02-26 by tikichris

The wedding of my old friend Jack and his lovely fiancée Beth was the main reason prompting my and Kemey’s visit back home and a big factor behind the design of our Dixie Detours itinerary. The wedding was held in Rome, Georgia where Jack had attended university. Yes, that’s right. I went to Athens one day and Rome the next – all without leaving the great state of Georgia!
