Hey everyone,

When I go on vacation, or if I’m visiting a new city for work (or, more often, Craig’s work), I become a maniac on the internet. I spend hours, sometimes days, sometimes weeks (!) researching and researching where to eat and then, after feverishly securing reservations, I start the whole process over again, second-guessing those reservations, cancelling them, and making even harder-to-get ones at even more in-the-know spots.

Maybe this is a pathology. Maybe I need better things to do with my life. But, if you read my last newsletter about our four days in Boston, the results often speak for themselves. We ate so so well at Pammy’s, my favorite meal of the trip (bolognese with gochujang!), and at Sarma, my other favorite meal of the trip (Black Sea cornbread with Feta!): the food, the atmosphere, the feeling of being somewhere unique, the validation of Boston food people saying: “You did well, kiddo.”

Was it just luck that I wound up at these places? What kind of strategies did I employ? Well, buckle up, because I’m about to share with you all of my traveling/restaurant secrets.
