Surviving the Russian Bath House
3 Comments Published by Joel March 24th, 2008 in Destinations, Fitness. Share ThisCommunal bathing isn’t part of American culture, but after a trip this weekend to a Russian bath house in Manhattan, I’m swayed that it should be.
I’ve been fighting off the tail end of a cold for a few days, so thought the steam and sauna might knock out the rest of the gunk. Or at [...]

First Nukes, then Beer – North Korea has it all
0 Comments Published by Jason March 10th, 2008 in Beer, Destinations, Travel. Share ThisBeer is not the drink of choice for most North Koreans, who prefer cheaper rice-based liquor that packs a big punch.
Regardless, North Korea is proud of its Taedonggang beer. Sadly, North Korea is kind of mess. They lacked the infrastructure, knowledge and perhaps the ability to keep everything as insanely clean and bacteria free to [...]

WTF Happened Here?
3 Comments Published by Jason February 23rd, 2008 in Destinations, Uncategorized. Share This I grew up in Santa Monica, California and the lovely, treasured, kinda badly moldy smelling Arcade on the Pier looks awfully like the building advertised as a Bubba Gump’s.

Smoking Banned at Oktoberfest!
5 Comments Published by Jason February 21st, 2008 in Beer, Destinations, Fitness, Smoking, Uncategorized, events. Share ThisMein Gott! It seems smoking is now forbidden in Germany. Initially I thought the Bavarians would reject such laws in favor of tradition, but no! Even the festival tents will be Rauchenfrei.
Smoking in fest tents will still be allowed in Rheinland-Pfalz, whereas in Bavaria it won’t, although most fest tents can be found at the [...]
Radegast Biergarten: Williamsburg’s New Beer Hall
6 Comments Published by Joel November 5th, 2007 in Beer, Booze, Destinations. Share ThisToday’s Thrillist missive is about the Radegast Biergarten, a new Polish/Slovakian beer hall with rough-hewn tables, retractable roof panels, tons of beer and cordials, and lots of chewy Eastern European staples like schnitzel and braised rabbit. I’m sure it’ll be packed to the gills, but it sounds like a fun place to hang out without [...]

Share ThisDon’t take too much of what I’m about to say about these floating Dutch “Capsule Hotel” units as gospel, as my information is gleaned primarily from a Google translated German information page. As far as I can tell, these are “survival modules” from the ’70s, original designed for shipboard usage, which have been converted into [...]

0 Comments Published by Joel April 30th, 2007 in Booze, Destinations, Travel. Share ThisI should take a cue from Dr. Vino’s great “36 Hours in New York City for Wine Lovers” post when telling people what to do when they’re in town. There are a hojillion things to do in the city, but tailoring a short stay around an interest or hobby is obviously smarter than just pointing [...]

Guys from all over the country and the world head there for the gambling and the girls.
