Kitchen Arts & Letters
New York is rich with gorgeous little independent bookstores, but this is the best place for cookbooks and other food- related books (you can even find some autographed copies). I can spend hours in their small shop without ever getting bored. If you can't get to NYC, you can order online—or call or email—and they'll ship right to your door.
Gramercy Park
Gramercy Park is the name of both a small, fenced-in private park and the surrounding neighborhood that is referred to also as Gramercy, in the New York City borough of Manhattan in New York, United States.

I’ve always been drawn to the Gramercy Park area [the park is one of only two private parks in NYC], because there are many great restaurants there.
Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast (Italian: Costiera Amalfitana) is a stretch of coastline on the Tyrrhenian Sea, located in the Gulf of Salerno in Southern Italy.

Family vacation
Italy. We went to the Amalfi coast—ate well, drank well, and played a lot of backgammon.
Bali
Bali is a province of Indonesia and the westernmost of the Lesser Sunda Islands. East of Java and west of Lombok, the province includes the island of Bali and a few smaller neighbouring islands, notably Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, and Nusa Ceningan.

I loved Bali for many of the same reasons. You've got wonderful food, abundant local culture, natural beauty, a little bit of great nightlife. There's something for everyone.
