Peter Greenberg is the travel editor for NBC’s Today Show and he is the chief correspondent for the Discovery network’s Travel Channel. His book, Hotel Secrets from the Travel Detective is a controversial tome of information that has been accused of being a bit smug and self-promoting.

I’ve been to Boston twice: Once recently for work where I spent nearly the whole time at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, and once years ago for a long and silly St. Pat’s weekend where I got lost on the subway and wound up being adopted by a gang of co-eds at BU for [...]

If the prices afford to you by way of the discount travel sites we discussed earlier still make you balk, or you’d like to have a good-sized chunk or possibly all of the cost of your flight absorbed by someone else, there is always the option of becoming an air courier.
I’ve never done this, but [...]

Often emulated, never emasculated, the indefatigable boys from Woot provide daily deals on electronics and wine, all wrapped up in writing sharp enough to entice you back even without the deals. Woot is a team effort—and they’ve answered in kind.
Hey Woot boys: What’s in your overnight bags?

In his amusing little number, “A to B and Back Again: The Philosophy of Andy Warhol”, the bewigged author mentions something about how, whenever he travels to Venice or wherever, the aspects of the trip he’ll remember the most are often the flight out and the flight attendants who served his drinks. Maybe he was [...]

Colleen at Mio Destino, seller of fancified European lingerie, has offered up a 15-percent discount when you use the code “65707″ through February.

Old Navy Holiday Sale: 50% Off

Old Navy, eager to start hawking their spring fashions, has discounted their winter wear up to 50%. Plain V-neck sweaters for $15, for instance. (I’d imagine the prices are good in-store, as well.) [OldNavy.com]

Lingerie retailer Mio Destino has offered a 15%-off discount (using code “62020″) to Dethroner readers through December 10th, which happens to be the last day they can guarantee shipping to the US in time for Christmas. (They’re in the UK.)

Men’s apparel store Jos. A. Bank is having a pretty good sale on their topcoats, sweaters, leather jackets, and lots of other stuff, both in stores and online. (Apparently “Jos” is pronounced “Joss-Uh,” not “Joss,” at least according to the dude on the radio this morning. Who knew?) That’s still not going to be rock-bottom [...]

» Evidently a fan of Ebert’s is trying to help Mars breed the supreme race of M&Ms.

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
M&Ms prove Darwin was right Thanks Ryan  # 0

» We just cracked a 750 of “Forêt,” an organic saison from Brasserie Dupont. The reviews on Beer Advocate are sort of mixed, but as far as I’m concerned it’s a knockout: bright, light, full of the best tastes of summer. One of the best saisons I’ve ever had. # 1
