Paid Members mim731 Posted January 23, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2018 @deathrey here you go: Voner - Vegan doner kebab place, despite not being vegan(very much a meat eater) I was very impressed. Berlin is famous for doner kebabs, so saves missing out on a local delicacy. PIzzare - Bit out of the way, but does great vegan/veggie pizzas. Also has a pool table. Might be a bit far-flung though if you're staying in Mitte. 19 Grams - We stayed beside this, and this was a cracking place for breakfast/coffee in MItte, would highly recommend. Went every day we were there. Peter Pane - chain burger place that has a veggie menu, bit touristy but food was good. Several locations in the city centre. Momos - cracking little place in Mitte, does really good veggie dumplings There are loads of places that do currywurst with tofu dogs regularly available (not all will, but there are definitely a few we saw). Plus, there are places selling pretzels and all sorts of veggie friendly stuff in every train station. I'd also recommend Kreuzberg as an area to explore, which has loads of lovely bars and coffee places and lots of veggie options. Basically everywhere will do good veggie food, so I wouldn't stress too much, best bet is to have a wander and explore! Hope you have a great time, Berlin is ace!

AnotherCrapUsername Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Spend the day in Brooklyn. Fantastic part ofnthe city and so much to see and do. If you're a foodie, Katz's Deli is an absolute must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Cod Eye Posted April 3, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 3, 2018 Anyone been to Santorini? We're off there in May and I'm looking to start planning things to do there soon, so if anyone has any recommendations, that would be great!

Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted April 3, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 3, 2018 Prepare your wallet, it's one of the more expensive places in Greece. I say that based only on talking to people from Greece, I've never been myself, though will be looking at it for honeymoon next year.

Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted April 6, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) Just got back from my first trip to Australia a couple of days ago and completely, utter fell in love with the place. I was working in Brisbane mostly but managed to get time to head North/South of the city to some of the different beaches by Gold Coast and Noosa - the latter of which I thought was especially brilliant. Brisbane in particular has lots of nice things to see/do - the South Bank in particular is great. You can also get up and down the river for free on boat shuttles. From there it's also pretty easy to get on bus tours for day trips (water parks, zoo, etc). Only thing is it's pretty far if you want to tick off any other Aus cities during your stay, Sydney for instance is about a ten hour drive away. Again though, superb place! With the flying, if you haven't flown long-haul before don't look at the graphics that tell you distance covered/time remaining. You'll have a breakdown when you think you've been in the air for well over half a journey, only to discover you still have eight hours left on your current flight and you'll want to scream.

Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted September 6, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted September 6, 2018 I’m taking the partner for a surprise couple of days in Bordeaux for her birthday. I’ve also got her one of those Instax cameras and some film which I’d planned to give her on the day while we’re there. Where do I stand with taking that present through airport security? If I’ve got an instant camera in its box, all wrapped up, are they going to make me unwrap it before it goes through the scanners? Will the film get wrecked (I’ve seen contrasting things about that)? Or is it just going to be easier to give her the camera before we go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted September 6, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 6, 2018 If it wont fit in your hold luggage I'd probably give it to her before you go. I regularly travel around with camera equipment and sometimes have to take this through security depending on how much hold luggage I've been allocated and as you might expect, everything's got to come out and be checked etc and it's always such a faff. Plus even if you put fragile stickers on your luggage the pricks still toss the baggage onto the planes like they are javelins. Also if you give it to her before you hit Bordeaux she can document your holds on there from the start which might be quite nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted September 27, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted September 27, 2018 New York question. We thought it might be fun to go to MSG one night while we’re there and watch the basketball, but from having a look, I can only find tickets that are $100+ each which is, to me, way too much to be paying for something we’re not that fussed about. Am I looking in the right places or can you get them cheaper? Do they go down nearer the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Really Big Shoe Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 https://www.cheaptickets.com/events/performers/new-york-knicks-tickets Old topic from 2013 but might be useful too https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/ShowTopic-g60763-i5-k6995183-Cheapest_way_to_get_New_York_Knicks_tickets-New_York_City_New_York.htmlp If it's a regular season game against a marquee team say the Celtics/Lakers/Warriors etc you'll be looking at a higher price. Seems tickets are $50+ across the board for the Garden from the link above. It's $61+ for the Pacers. If not the basketball I was going to suggest the baseball. October is post season though and Yankees most likely will make it but the Mets won't this year, plus the tickets will more expensive. You could see the New York Islanders since I believe they will soon be starting the regular season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The week we're going they're playing Atlanta on the Wednesday and Boston on the Saturday - we'd hoped the Atlanta one might be a bit more affordable. It's not the sport so much as 'going to see something at Madison Square Garden' for me so may have to just skip it unless cheap ones turn up nearer the time.

Glenryck Pilchards Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I don't know if this is still the case ( I went in 2004) but there was plenty of scalpers hanging around MSG and Penn Station for a Knicks match. It maybe worth going down 20 minutes before tip off to see if you can get a cheap ticket, if not there are plenty of sports bars nearby to catch the game.

David Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 The time of year has come where I leave the UK for winter. Rome is first on the agenda for a month or two. Anyone been? Any nuggets of useful information or advice? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
