Mel's Drive-In & Hollywood

While we were in Hollywood, we had breakfast at a nice "historic" diner just off Hollywood Boulevard, Mel's Drive-In.

 

Loews Hollywood

We had a pleasant 2 night stay at the Loews Hollywood last month.

Napcabs

If you are connecting in Munich and have a couple of hours layover, there's a relaxing area in terminal 2 (G & H gates) called Sleep.

It consists of several "cabins" or pods provided by Napcabs that you can rent by the hour (min. 2 hours, max. 12 hours) at 15 euros per hour, where you can relax and sleep while waiting for your flight.

The pods have air conditioning, alarm clock, internet access and flight information.

If you don't feel like getting one of these cabs, you can however rest and relax in a quiet area next to the cabins, with comfortable sofas and some electrical sockets where you can recharge your laptop or phone, but most importantly, there's absolute silence.

Westbound

Such a long time without posting but I have an excuse (well, sort of), I've been planing a 3-weeks trip to the US and Mexico!
For my whereabouts you can follow my Instagram, I'll be back with lots of pictures and (hopefully) great tips!

Tizzy's... not the best burgers in town

After reading about Tizzy's Bar & Grill's burgers on some local blogs, we tried them for a friends gathering. Perhaps it was the high expectations of what has been called "the best place for burgers in town" (Milan, by the way) but I was disappointed.
The place is packed every night, but in Milan's Navigli area, that's not a synonym of good food or quality, it's just that that's the party area and everyone wants to be in any of those places, without even caring about the quality or the prices of what they're eating/drinking.
The decor is nothing special, anonymous black furniture on white walls. Model-like waiters and waitresses who lack simpathy (especially after they keep asking you every 5 minutes if you want coffee so they can kick you out, but keep forgetting the beer you ordered 20 minutes earlier) and a menu that consists of 10 burgers (with simple ingredients - no special meat), 5 sandwiches and 5 salads. The burgers are good, but not that good, the extra ingredients you order (like jalapeños) are super tiny and over-charged. The best thing were the fries, which come with every order, in a tin bucket.

So, in my humble opinion, this place is over-rated, over-priced and I'm sure there are better places for a burger in town -just to name one, Milano Bakery's burger brunch was way better (not to mention cheaper - including the buffet).
