Foxxy B: Several hits & a few near-misses: desserts (particularly the chocolate fondant) are amazing, filet mignon is overlooked & a touch chewy, & "The Salad" is scrumptious & well-priced. Great for Quito.
Foxxy B: Truly moving space. Obviously not simply meant to house as many works as possible; the select collection is the best of Guayasamín's most powerful work, which is presented by a stunning building.
Foxxy B: Takes a solid 3.5 hrs to climb from TelefériQo. The last 30 min is hard: scrambling up loose rocks with no clear path. Be sure to follow knowledgeable people & do not go alone. Cold at the top.
Reina Victoria N24-263 (Lizardo Garcia), Quito, Pichincha
Arts and Crafts Store · Mariscal Sucre · 8 tips and reviews
Foxxy B: There's a second floor! Chocolates, alpaca yarn, oils, shoes, bags, ceramics, hats, soap, they have it all. The best curation of Ecuadorian design & craft that I've seen in Quito.
Via Giovanni Giolitti 36 (Via Enrico Cialdini), Roma, Lazio
Italian Restaurant · Esquilino · 4 tips and reviews
Foxxy B: Avoid the crowds & dine in peace upstairs! The ravioli (mussel, squid ink pasta) is light & delicious. The goat cheese mousse is a precious, airy dessert, while the tiramisù is unique. ~€18 per plate.
Foxxy B: Very off the beaten path for tourists. Surprising number of tables: check out the back lower room! Nothing special other than good older local watching. Service is very accommodating (free shot or 2).
Ice Cream Parlor · Gianicolense · 22 tips and reviews
Foxxy B: Pecorino & Gorgonzola are some of odd flavors to choose from. Pistachio is a bit on the savory side. They have a variety of single source chocolate flavors from specific beans. All scoops €1 each!
Foxxy B: Surprisingly spacious. Great, diverse beer selection. Very friendly staff, helping me choose a dinner destination in broken English. Bar bites are satisfying. Maybe 5 customers on a Sunday evening.
Foxxy B: THE best ice cream in Rome, by far. 2 flavors (the pistachio is unique & delicious), freshly handmade cones (very crunchy, like a cookie w/ brittle), & w/ liquid white/dark chocolate for only €4(!?).
Ice Cream Parlor · Sant'Eustachio · 773 tips and reviews
Foxxy B: Traditional "pay first, hand receipt over (ice cream) bar later" system. Incredibly soft gelato. Many many flavours. Quick, easy, & delicious.
Tapas Restaurant · Bermondsey · 120 tips and reviews
Foxxy B: They rotate the style of croquetas & tortillas often, but the squid ink w/ squid meat croquetas were to die for. Good wine list, decent service. Definitely gets crowded: was packed by 12:30 on Tues.
Terminal 5 (LHR Airport), Hillingdon, Greater London
Airport Lounge · 59 tips and reviews
Foxxy B: One of the better Aspire lounges in the network. Unsure what the Priority Pass site means by "after Customs & Immigration"—not true. Good breakfast sausage & eggs.
80 Neal St (at Shaftesbury Ave), London, Greater London
Indian Restaurant · Holborn and Covent Garden · 137 tips and reviews
Foxxy B: When Dishoom is swamped (which it will be), head up to Punjab for a bit more history & down to earth flare. The "Hot" dishes are not unbearable, which is nice. Huge menu!
International Airport · Lentokenttä · 916 tips and reviews
Foxxy B: Not sure if a priority security line exists, but security moves relatively quickly. Clean! Plenty of good food choices in T2, fewer on non-Schengen side. Be careful as status announcements are rare.
Foxxy B: Very friendly service. The espresso martinis are airy & scrumptious. Fast wifi. Surprisingly diverse menu of coffee based cocktails! Great place to hang out.
Mandarin Oriental, 66 Knightsbridge, London, Greater London
Molecular Gastronomy Restaurant · Knightsbridge and Belgravia · 196 tips and reviews
Foxxy B: Incredible date spot. Service is deliberately steady & very high end. I'd skip the chicken & go for the scallops & any beef or fish. Obviously very pricey, but you get what you pay for.
Indian Restaurant · Marylebone · 78 tips and reviews
Foxxy B: Very good service & the best, relatively traditional Indian food, all with a touch of class. Soft shell crab & strawberry kulfi are musts. Lamb curry is awesome. Better than just about every NY joint.
180 Prince St (btwn Thompson & Sullivan St), New York, NY
French Restaurant · SoHo · 167 tips and reviews
Foxxy B: So you get in line 30 min before the 5pm 12 burger bar service (although they only have 9 bar stools). You wait another hr because you were 10/12. Incredible & worth it. Place doesn't fill up till 8.
Clothing Store · West Village · 3 tips and reviews
Foxxy B: Small-ish selection, but I love the store itself. Heavy, design-forward materials and minimalist feel give the clothing a great back-drop. Can't go wrong with Acne. Lovely, approachable service, too!
Foxxy B: The mirrored windows keep this joint low-key. The food inside is incredible. Fresh daily menus written up with an impressive array of local seafood. A few local drinks, too. Blackened style is bomb!
