singaporeskyline1.jpg?w=422&h=284&width=400Travelers often touch down in Singapore merely en route to Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and other countries in Asia (especially Southeast Asia).  That’s partly because it’s a hub for (naturally) Singapore Airlines, one of the world’s top-rated carriers. There’s an argument to be made that this singular city-state is intriguing enough to visit for its own sake. At the very least, though, if you’re continuing onward, a stopover here — seven time zones from London and 11 zones on

But while foodies give the menu a definite thumbs-up, food is still probably not the main reason for a trip to Circus, a sleek spot that opened in early 2010, tucked away on London‘s Endell Street in Covent Garden.

Here's my dilemma: I often write about food. I'm supposed to be (and occasionally am) discerning beyond the pale of ordinary mortals — you know, the kind who relish fast food and chain restaurants. I also majored in Chinese. I'm supposed to know the top Zhongguo joints in a 10-mile radius, no matter where I am. Then why, I do wonder, am I so fascinated with Pei Wei, the casual cousin of P.F. Chang's, two chains spreading the length and breadth of our land like crazed straw mushrooms?

Tucked snugly in a circa 1910 brick storefront just a 5 minutes walk from the train station on Pelham New York’s 5th Ave., Bistro Rollin recently opened to the immediate praises of the New York Times and local media. “5th Ave desperately needed something more than red sauce Italian and pizza,” says Bistro Chef Manny Lozano.

Call it some kind of fierce, intuitive desire to protect the Olde Continente (e's added here for effecte), aka Die Mutterlande, but I've often experienced a fierce fight-or-flight response when faced with the old travel-writing truism that "Seattle is America's most European city."

Fight generally wins, and I go immediately to sarcastic, Socratic responses.

(Why, because of the medieval walls, pocked and battered by time and war, surrounding the Pike Place Market?)

Sometimes even living in a nation with arguably one of the best cuisines on the planet, I still crave something other than delicous tacos and some of the freshest sea food on the planet. After all, variety is the spice of life.

On Puerto Vallarta's malecón (boardwalk) lies one of the my favorite Italian restaurants in the world, La Dolce Vita.  Yes, I could eat Mexican food on a daily basis if I had to. However, we all have a place that we call home. As pizza and pasta aficionado

I don't much like case studies. The ones that business school students labor through.

I prefer the kinds of quick case studies I get in Entrepreneur magazine.

In his “Talk of the Town” column in this month’s magazine small business “thought leader,” Chris Brogan, talks about Joe Sorge who runs AJ Bombers, a burger place in Milwaukee.

Sorge does with Twitter something close to what we reported Chicago and other cities are doing with Foursquare.
