Feeling peckish before a long train journey is normal, but where do you go to refuel?

"Will it or won't it reopen?" hotel cynics have been wondering about Waldorf Astoria New York for years. (Not me, of course. I'm an eternal optimist who always thought it was coming back. Cough.) But now, the Waldorf Astoria New York finally has a clear path to reopening day.

Certain destinations are favorites for a reason, no matter the year or the season. Travelers will always flock to Rome for its history, food, art, and hotels. Paris, Tokyo, and Copenhagen are up there — for shopping, cultural attractions, and Michelin-starred restaurants. But sometimes, you want to experience all this magic for a lot less money.

In the now faded photo: my mum, demure in an off-white, gold-trimmed sari, hands half-hidden in a swirl of henna; my dad, suit wrinkled, sporting Jackie O sunglasses borrowed from my auntie to block out the Mombasa sun. It's August 4, 1973, their wedding day.

Finding the best places to get a glass in a new destination is one of the first things I research. This past summer, I headed to Athens for the first time and was intrigued by the city’s wine scene before even hitting the ground.
