Map San Francisco

High Tea in San Francisco

Tea%20San%20Francisco.jpgAfter a hard day of jetsetting, shopping, clubbing and being fabulous, what could be better than a nice sit down with a hot cup of tea? Well, yes, an open bar and a bevy of well-oiled, scantily-clad cabana people might have a *slight* edge, but failing that, free wifi and a cozy place to relax are a close second. Especially during the long dreary winter months. Looking for a proper tea parlor? Hit the jump for six of our SF favorites.

Map Berlin

The Best of Berlin's Latin Side

salsa-salsa-berlin.jpgFlavors of the Caribbean and Latin America are almost inaccessible during the long winter months in Berlin. All the more reason we've decided to search for Latin sabor. Much to our surprise, we've found everything from the best Peruvian tamale in town to learning how to mambo like the toughest New York boricua. Though you can be sure you'll never happen upon a Puerto Rican Day Parade or a non-Latino who knows the difference between tostones and plátanos, Berlin has much to offer in the way of this booty-shaking culture.

Map Paris

Best Public Transport Views in Paris

Best%20Public%20Transport%20Views%20Paris.jpgPaying €22 for two days sitting in a bright red bus among other camera-toting tourists seems so unimaginative when one considers the alternative: great (and cheap) sightseeing from Paris' fantastically efficient public transportation system. For as little as €1.50 for a single trip, or €16.80 for a week's unlimited passage with a Carte Orange, it's possible to traverse the length and breadth of the city, take in the sights, and mingle with the natives. And since the Parisian Métro and bus services run from around 5:30 a.m. to 12:45 a.m. (depending on the station), you'll have plenty of time to see it all.

The Best Matzah Ball Soup in DC

matzoballsoupB200.jpgChills, fever, headaches -- it's getting to be that time of year. What helps? Massive quantities of Nyquil, and gallons of chicken soup.

There's no better comfort food for the cold winter months. Further soupy refuges always welcome in the comments or via tips.
