I think I've tried enough bagels to safely say that Noah's bagels are the best in the world! Although it's caused more of a stir in northern California, southern California hasn't been deprived completely. They're just so fluffy and soft, and not to mention, so delicious! And the freshly-made...

Snoopy is to Knott's Berry Farm as Mickey Mouse is to Disneyland. I really love Knott's Berry Farm and have been visiting the theme park ever since I was in elementary school. It's the only amusement park in my area, Orange County that has more intense and turbulent rides. Disneyland, in...

Ahh, finally a coffeehouse that is away from the mainstream chains and oozes with novelty. Orange County has a scarcity of independent coffeehouses, so you can imagine how exciting it is when one every 20 miles springs up! Adjacent to the 118 degrees vegan restaurant, Milk Honey is a really...

Looking at the website and colorful display of dishes, I was really excited to go to the restaurant. What I found was a completely vegan menu and dishes cooked at no more than 118°, hence the name. You could clump this restaurant in the new wave of "green" restaurants that have popped up...

The best gelato I have ever had was in Florence, Italy. But on this side of the world, I would have to say that the Café Gelato at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas is a tough competitor. Every possible flavor you can think of, you will find. And if it's not on display, you can mix and match and...

Walking in, I didn't know a thing about Georgian food. Having been to Russia before, I assumed it would have to have some similar components, but what I tried was a completely different experience. I loved everything I tried and really appreciated the fact that they accommodated vegetarians more...

Nestled in the City Heights district of San Diego, the Red Sea Restaurant offers premier Ethiopian food. It's a bit run-down from the outside, but the warm, inviting atmosphere inside makes up for it. It's privately owned by an Ethiopian family, so authenticity of the food should not be an issue....

The royal city of Fatehpur Sikri has become a popular tourist destination because of its sheer splendor and historical significance. It was the political capital under Akbar's rule, until he moved to Agra Fort because of a paucity of resources. It's a commonly overlooked monument, but its only...

I recall this Church from my elementary school days when I had to do a 3-D project on it. Back then, it didn't matter to me much and I just wanted to get my good grade and be done with it. It wasn't until I visited the site myself when I was older that I fully appreciated it. It is one of the...

Over 50 different varieties of cheesecake. Freshly-made daiquiris and martinis. More than 200 different entrees to choose from. What more could you ask for when looking to dine out? Every cheesecake variety I have tried have topped one another, and all other brands, even NY Cheesecake pales in...

This restaurant is truly a gem in the fine dining scene of Orange County. Nestled atop Orange Hills, this restaurant overlooks the entire Orange County, offering breathtaking panoramic views from the hill. Of course, to see the illuminated glory, night time is best. We entered the gated...

If you're in the New York area or planning your trip around the end of November, you don't want to miss the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Knowing the history of the parade makes the event much more worthwhile and interesting. It started as a celebration for the early immigrant employees...

The Santa Ana Zoo is the only zoo in Orange County. They emphasize plants and animals from Central and South America. The main attractions are the birds and monkeys. I was quite impressed by the wide range of monkey species that they housed. I didn't even know so many existed! One of the main...

The Wagah Border is the border between Amritsar, India and Lahore, Pakistan. At the border, every night, there is a flag ceremony, wherein both countries lower their respective flags in a highly-publicized event. Hundreds, or even thousands of local and foreign spectators come every night to...

Sunset Blvd. is synonymous with the glamor of Tinseltown. I know you've seen it in the movies, but now you can actually re-enact it in person, with you as the main actor/actress. It's difficult to come to LA and not cruise down the world-famous Sunset Blvd. And if you really want to do it in...

Universal Studios Hollywood is a premier tourist destination when visiting Los Angeles. On the drive up/down, the HOLLYWOOD sign in the hills is clearly visible and often an OMG-provoking vision. I took a friend of mine that was visiting from Germany and he was so happy and amazed to see it....

It's hard to find a theater that plays foreign films, but if you're in the Orange County/LA area, you're in luck. Naz8 Cinemas offers movies from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Taiwan, Korea, and the Philippines. And most are with English subtitles, which is immensely helpful. I've seen...

As with most famous museums, one day is never sufficient to truly absorb all the artistic excellence and beauty of the works. I only went for one day and I barely finished 25% of the museum. There are many different pavilions exhibiting work from different genres and time periods. The guided tour...

We happened to be in New Delhi on August 15 for India's Independence Day. Informed by a bunch of natives, we went to the Red Fort early morning on the day of and listened to the Prime Minister of India give a remarkable speech. He does a great job of summarizing the achievements since...

I finally visited Disney's California Adventure for the first time last month. It's right across from Disneyland and is worth the park-hopper pass. And if you're in town for long, the best deal would be an annual pass. I think California Adventure complements Disneyland very well in that it has...
