"Krakow's Kazimierz district may be the most underrated neighborhood in Europe. It is an eclectic mix of bars, cafes, galleries, curio shops, resale stores. It is a little grungy, a little seedy but definitely early trendy. That is all part of its charm. Busy nightlife, young crowd."

"Ischgl is about 90 minutes from Innsbruck by car. Located in the Paznaun Valley. Beautiful ski area, great terrain, Beginner to black diamond, great town at the base. Many good quality fun restaurants and bars for a very active Apres Ski scene. Throughout the valley there are a number of ski areas in reasonable driving distance. There is summer activity but check before you go. The whole town is practically closed between Oct 1st and mid-November for freshening before the mountain opens for ski season."

"Really fun restaurant with no menu. Just good food on skewers and great drinks. After multiple visits there are many stalwarts available but other choices seem to rotate. You browse around and pick the skewers that appeal to you. At the end of the meal you are charged by the number of skewers you have in your skewer pot. It is a short three minute walk from both the Julius Prague Hotel and the Andaz Hotel. and six minutes from the Powder Tower. It is definitely worth a trip there for a fun casual and tasty meal."

"I highly recommend the Mexican restaurant Descanso. Excellent fun takes on modern Michoacan cuisine. Dishes with traditional roots but with contemporary influences. There are the ones you might expect and many you wouldn't. Fresh ingredients, with housemade tortillas, salsas among other things all contributing to a well rounded delicious menu. Cocktails were great for us with Margaritas of course a specialty. If you are six or more reserve (a must) the Plancha table where the chef makes your dishes right at the table. It's a fun night out. With all the Mexican restaurants in this city, Descanso is a standout. There is an outpost in Costa Mesa if you are headed that way. "

"Well if you are interested in Viennese Cuisine this would be a good place to start. Though they have a wide variety of local traditional dishes, it is all about schnitzel. They have been making it for about 120 years. There are several outposts around the city. Generous portions, efficient, friendly service and Austrian cuisine they way it was meant to be served. They also have their own homegrown wine which should be ordered alongside the meal. The schnitzel has become a symbol for the city itself"
