Hotel Review: Tivoli Hotel, Prague Location: New Town Date: 2-5 November Duration: 3 nights   Situated in New Town of #Prague Tivoli Hotel is quite convenient for the commute. Just about a 3-minute walk from the Metro and Tram Station – I.P. Pavlova, we could get anywhere in no time. It is also just a few minutes walk from one of the main square - Wenceslas Square (old town). It is an old-style hotel but charming nonetheless. The staff - man at night and the woman during the day time sitting at the reception were always helpful. We ended up booking a couple of interesting tours through th ..read more

Location: Goldfinch Hotel, MIDC Date: Visited a multiple times Housed inside Goldfinch Hotel, 1522 Bar & Kitchen is a cool place to hang out at. They have a decent alfresco seating. The décor will remind you of Socials.    I have visited this place a few times and it’s been quite consistent. The gin cocktails are worth a try. The staff is very attentive. Slightly on the higher side when it comes to pricing but the food and drinks both are very well prepared. We have tried a few dishes off their menu as below.  1. Mezze Platter  2. Chicken Koliwada – Recommended  3 ..read more

Gangtok is full of gorgeous cafes and restaurants. And we had certain places in mind that we wanted to visit for sure. Here is a list of cafes/restaurants we visited and struck off our list :) 1. Tashi Delek Housed inside a Hotel with the same name – Tashi Delek is right on the MG Marg. Its entrance is narrow and can be quite misleading but once you enter, you are in for a surprise! What a beautiful and huge terrace space it offers and a breathtaking mountain view. The service here was on point too. We had a couple of pints of the local beer and a few appetizers. https://www.zomato.com/gangtok ..read more

Hotel Review: Radisson Blu Udaipur Location: Malla Talal, Udaipur Date: 9-12 April 2022 We stayed at this property recently during our work visit. A beautiful 5 Star resort, overlooking Fateh Sagar Lake, is a treat to the eyes. What was Sheraton Udaipur is now taken over by Radisson Group. A property with over 240 rooms is definitely a massive inventory. Although not a heritage e property, it feels like one because of its design, and architecture. Image courtesy - Radisson Blu Udaipur When you step into the property, you are welcomed traditionally by their staff. The way to the lobby is throu ..read more

Location: Tapola (Near Mahabaleshwar) Date: 30 April – 2 May 2023 We were invited by Lakewood Resort & Spa for a #staycation and we chose the long weekend of Maharashtra Day that suited our schedule. Although we had visited #Tapola before, the previous stay was at an Agro Tourism Tent. This visit was special as it was a beautiful lake-facing resort and a much-needed break. Owned by a Pune Resident, this resort is situated on the banks of Shivsagar Lake. Unlike the other Koyna backwaters hotels, this faces a lake. We went there in April end and were expecting hard-hitting summer but when we ..read more

Heaven for tea lovers, #Darjeeling boasts some of the most popular cafes and restaurants. However, as a vegetarian, the choices are limited when it comes to food. Here is a list of restaurants we tried during our visit to Darjeeling 1. Glenary’s During our multiple visits here, not once did we face any issues. #Glenary’s is one of the best places in Darjeeling whether you want to just enjoy the tea or have a full-fledged meal. It takes you back in time with its authentic vintage décor. It has existed since the British Era. It has two sections – a lower one and one upstairs. It also has an in-h ..read more

Location: SV Road, Bandra West, Mumbai When: Multiple times Nair on Fire has been around for quite some time now and it has been supremely popular among the people who enjoy a wholesome South Indian Meal. But Nair on Fryer is an extension that, everyone was waiting for! You now have a place where you can sit and eat their food – street food style. At Bandra, they have a small place that has their kitchen dishing our scrumptious #Kerala food and just outside that, they have a makeshift seating arrangement. This works perfectly given the fact that they want to offer people a typical Thattukada ..read more
