New York NY: Manhattan Restaurant World’s Best |
 |
 |
 |
|
The 50 Best Restaurants Academy declared Eleven Madison Park at the top of the list. Of course, it has no competition from Wendy’s or McDonald’s, but there are many restaurants in Paris, Rome, Amsterdam, Tokyo and other locations that also boast great eateries.
If your next New York visit includes dining at Eleven Madison Park, be sure to try one of its yummy specialties, the delicious celery root cooked in a pig’s bladder. And, by the way, bring lots of money. The average price per meal is $145, plus tax, plus tip.

London GB: Taking Steps To Reduce Air Pollution |
|
|
|
Consider the lyrics to a long-ago Frank Sinatra tune:
A foggy day in London town,
Had me low and had me down.
These days, it isn’t just the misty fog that has Londoners and visiting tourists feeling low. It’s the ever-increasing amounts of toxic gases emitted by the heavy vehicle traffic, factories and other oil-burning sources.
Recent news reports say the city’s mayor will be taking significant steps to reduce the choking pollution that causes more than discomfort. Many official vehicles, including buses and trucks, will go electric. Restrictions will be applied to home and factory heating systems that use petroleum products and coal.

Guest Writer José P., San Antonio TX: Tired watching reruns of Lucy and The Golden Girls? What to do about it? Get your aging, shy and/or lazy butt out as often as possible.

Gotcha! Hotel Minibars Charge Maxi Prices |
|
|
|
Your travel4seniors.com editor always is aware of those little fridges in hotel rooms. We stay away from them, because just opening the small door could result in a charge on your bill. Just recently, when we checked into our hotel room, there was no minibar.
However, arranged along the top of the dresser was an inviting array of packaged candy, along with bottles of soda, beer, wine and liquor. My first thought was that the hotel had placed them there as complimentary freebees.
