Thanet in Kent (Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate) revival – time for leisurely exploration?

…here is the harbour, royal no less, with its encompassing ring of cafe and restaurants. Less known are the long sandy beaches either side that offer enough wide-open space to lose yourself whist admiring the wind-surfers. For those who appreciate historic buildings, there are old quarters, which centre around Addington Street and The Vale, both areas colonised by artists and musicians. The Queen Charlotte, a pub, art gallery and occasional pop-up…

Le Meridien San Francisco Review

…ct and so at night and weekends the area is deserted with limited bars and restaurants. In some ways, the relative blandness, predictability and efficiency of staying here makes it perfect for a business stay. For although it does not have a lot of soul and character, it does have friendly staff, good rooms laid out ideally to sleep and work, a 24 hour well equipped fitness centre and efficient but predictable bar and restaurant with good breakfas…

Sausalito A Stunning Alternative To Staying In San Francisco City

…he shops. The Town There is a long main road that is full of coffee shops, restaurants, tourist souvenir shops and then art galleries. There are also some quirky sea related shops selling model ships and the like. The marina has many small sailing boats and then the odd large “wow” yachts costing huge wads of cash. Houses and apartments cling all the way up the steel hill behind the main street with twisting roads. The houses are pretty and varied…

Castro Street San Francisco: observations based on a recent visit. It feels more vibrant than ever..

…ht sunshine, the what felt like brightened up more sophisticated shops and restaurants and summer atmosphere in the streets, it felt like a relaxed and vibrant centre with a confident feel. It does, however, feel like a cast back. The age of people feels older and more of a generation of gay men and women who grew up in the 70s and 80s when they needed support and community to feel they fitted in. I think younger men and women have less need these…

San Francisco: Ferry Building versus Pier 39. There is only one winner!

…est tip – you want the boat ride – the shopping is a waste of time and the restaurants………..(see below!) 2.) Awful Food: If I wanted to set up a restaurant to charge the highest prices — for the worst food — with a captive audience — Fisherman’s Wharf would be at the top of my list. If you think you are dealing with a family fisherman’s restaurant taking fish out of the Bay and onto your plate — you’re in for a rude — and expensive awakening. 1.) S…

San Francisco California. Why is this city so loved by so many?

San Francisco California. Why is this city so loved by so many?

…ed to be 19000 delegates in town for the conference, the streets, bars and restaurants seemed easy to get into and less throbbing. I guess the whole silicon valley turn down has made a huge impact. You did see closing down sales and empty shops but not on a massive scale. The most noticeable was the huge Virgin Megastore closing down. (2) Hobos and homeless I do recall this image from before, but there seems to be a lot of hobo and homeless people…

Grand Hyatt Is One Of The Best Seoul Hotels. My Video and review.

…nd drinks in the evening and then coffee until 10pm. There are a number of restaurants in the hotel. I went to the Japanese which was good but expensive. This is true of most of the food and drink and in fact most things in the hotel. It was an expensive place to stay. Even the buffet for lunch, which had a great selection ranging from sushi to roast joints, was expensive. The fitness centre was good with a good range of equipment. It was free if…

…ry as profound to New York City as Wall Street, Central Park or Times Square. This cultural marketplace along the dynamic Lower Manhattan waterfront is a gateway to the harbor.

New York in 48 Hours. The ultimate guide for time pressed travellers.

…e’s so much going on, and a number of flagship stores (like Toys R us) and restaurants (Like Hard Rock). You’ve got to see it, you’ve got to take some pictures in the daytime as you will come back on the second evening take some pictures at night. It can be frustrating, it’s can be claustrophobic, as there’s lots and lots of people there, but you’ve got to do it, you’ve got to see it. One of the things you should do there is take a visit to TKTS,…

Shanghai China. Tips on visiting this chameleon city!

…tunity amount this generation. The city now has the most amazing spread of restaurants and food, amazing shops with beautiful new shopping centers with incredible, stunning decor.

Kent Seaside towns: Margate, Ramsgate & Broadstairs. Potential still to come?

…in Summer this is a buzzing and exciting area. There are a number of bars, restaurants and coffee shops overlooking the pretty harbour which even in winter are busy. The town centre is less attractive, both in layout and in types of shops. This town is more for people looking towards the sea and sea type activities, and there are many boat trips on offer.
