Yuck. Many moons ago I accidentally ordered a pizza with anchovies. I managed exactly one bite.

Nope... Milan only. In and out. If my kiddo wasn't so young and my wife loaded with a busy summer teaching schedule, I would take some time and explore. But really I'm in for work, and then right out.are you hitting any other cities other than Milan?No transaction fee for getting the Euros in. Just the normal exchange rate on whatever day I placed the order. So that's pretty nice.
I called all my card companies and I'm glad I did. Some have a 3% international fee, others don't have any fees for international transactions, so now I know which ones to use while I'm there.
this was one of the more bizarre places our friends took us: http://www.pizzaclubnolimits.com/index.php?i=home
it's basically pizza in Fogo De Chao style. I think we tried something like 34 different kinds of pizza. some were good, others were....weird. the Very Salty Fish was indeed, VERY salty. one had coffee grounds on it. I think they made that one just to see if The Americans would eat it. Tuna and Olive was not good.

Feel free to defile any Inter Milan signs while you’re there.

Thank you for putting the time and thought into this reply. I doubt I'll ever find myself in Mexico City, but if I did I'd want to eat at Puyol. Enrique Olvera is a cool dude.https://media.tenor.com/images/0633712f ... /tenor.gifPlease describe, using your best words....went to Pujol...
it was a very interesting, fun experience. In preparation I watched the Chef's Table episode on Netflix about Pujol. Definitely set my expectations pretty well

Chicken hearts shouldn't be salty, or at least I've never heard of cured or salted chicken hearts. They make for really tasty yakitori, albeit a little on the chewy side. Mmmmm… yakitori.May have been chicken hearts. I tasted said pizza in Brazil.

The ones I had were quite salty. Maybe that was just the Brazilian way of preparing them.Chicken hearts shouldn't be salty, or at least I've never heard of cured or salted chicken hearts.

Heading to NYC in a few weeks and trying to figure out the best way to go about finding out how to plan for the subway? Any tips? I'd like to be able to say we have to go here for this and this and have everything planned out for the itinerary ahead of time. How?
Travel Thread
I see Google Maps has an interactive subway feature which seems to be the way to go, but in terms of passes, is this something we should take care beforehand or how does that work? We'll be there for 5 days.

Last time I was there (5 years ago?) they had a weekly pass that will probably be worth it for you. You can buy it right at the station

I remember the MTA Subway Map app being pretty useful for planning routes, seeing when trains would arrive, if they were delayed, etc. I would always just buy a MetroCard at the first subway station I went to and reloaded as necessary. If you plan on using the subway a lot your best bet is probably the 7-Day Unlimited Pass, which you can get at any MetroCard Vending Machine. $33 for unlimited subway rides during the 7-day period after the card is first used. At $2.75 per subway ride you're riding for free after your 12th use.

Yeah, I'd seek out an official mobile app type situation. Never used one for NYC, but my experience is major metro mass transit systems try to make using the service as relatively pain-free as possible.

For instance, the number of fires in the DC Metro is down this year. Exciting!

A couple of weeks ago I my weekly meal was angel hair with anchovy paste, butter, olive oil, garlic, and Parmesan. Sauteed spinach on the side. I found the anchovy paste alone wasn't getting it done on the fishiness, so I added a couple shots of fish sauce.

That's quite a bit longer than I think I'd be comfortable with, to be honest. I plan on leaving out of LAX when the time comes.

I did PIT-ORD-LAX to Brisbane. Super long day either way. Assuming cutting out the LAX stop might save a few bucks
