Restaurants recs for road trip down Central Coast with 2 kids?
Hello chowhounds! We are taking a road trip with our 3 year old and 6 year old girls next month with stops in Monterey, Pismo Beach and Santa Barbara and would greatly appreciate some restaurant recommendations.
Both girls are well-behaved, eat a wide array of foods (so no need for a kid's menu), and don't need any special accommodations (e.g., no high chair necessary). The younger one does have a peanut allergy, so I usually avoid Thai restaurants. Also, DH has a lactose intolerance, so we avoid French restaurants given the heavy cream.
We eat at a wide variety of ethnic restaurants and have also taken the girls to more upscale American restaurants (think white tablecloths but folks are still in business casual or even jeans). We try to eat right when the restaurant opens at 5:30 or earlier if we go with the kids to a place that doesn't offer a kids' menu. They know to keep their voices low in such restaurants, but I'm also hyper conscious of ruining other diners' meals. I know I hate it when I hear whiny obnoxious kids at upscale restaurants--it distracts from my dining experience. I've paid good money for the meal and babysitting for my own kids! But that's another thread for another time.
We try to avoid chain restaurants, though I'm assuming we will have to hit an In-N-Out at some point on our road trip when we're in the middle of nowhere. Since this is a coastal road trip, it might be nice to have a lot of seafood, as our suburban city doesn't have good access to quality seafood. I would prefer to avoid ethnic fare, as I'm assuming none of these cities will have ethnic fare as "authentic" as what we can get in the SF Bay Area. What are these areas known for? Budget is wide open. Since it's a road trip and we're not flying anywhere, I'm happily spending our funds on the food. Of course, given the fact that the 2 kids are with us, we are not going to any Michelin-starred places this time around so I assume we're not going to the super expensive places.
In Monterey/Carmel/Pacific Grove, DH and I have enjoyed Passionfish several times (on nearly every trip down!) but it is quite cramped and I'm not sure I've ever seen young kids there. Yet I'm willing to do it at opening if there aren't other recommendations.
In Pismo Beach, we ate with friends at Giuseppe's and enjoyed the food. It also seems perfectly kid-friendly with its Italian menu and more casual vibe. The other places we visited in Pismo Beach/Avila Beach/SLO on our last kid-free visit aren't as appropriate for kids.
We haven't ever been to Santa Barbara so any and all recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you!
I can't figure out how to edit my reply, but let me add that I found a few Santa Barbara threads recommending Julienne (but is in inappropriate to bring our kids there?), Wine Cask (sounds like a great lunch option in the courtyard!), and Scarlet Begonia or Jeanine's for breakfast. Though now I'm tempted to make the trek to Solvang for the amazing Danish pancake breakfasts!
glbtrtr: if you see this, thank you so much for all your posts on Santa Barbara options!
re: smiles33
Solvang is a must do with children: yummy aebleskivers and danish pastries- Solvang Bakery is my favorite! There is a horse drawn trolly, a park in the middle of town, Nojoqui Falls park south of town, Classic Organic Farm to go pick your own berries etc and Quicksilver minature horse farm- and even Sunny Fields park outside the city limits, but just a 4 minute drive!
On the way down- Avila Beach exit- Avila Valley Barn. Tractor rides, animal farm, roasted corn, all the fruits and vegetables one could want, fudge kitchen- its all there! The cutest, well run veggie patch on the Central Coast! Keep going into town and the beach itself is wonderful- playground on the sand on the west end of town. The Port San Luis Pier is alive with people, fresh fish and the enormus seals that bask in the sun under the pier- stear clear but enjoy!
re: OldJalamaMama
Thanks for the activities recs! I thought I read somewhere Solvang was a massive tourist trap and DH hates crowds, so I had planned to skip it. But he's willing to deal with almost anything for good food--a true chowhound, right?
Our friends strongly recommended taking our kids to some farm place near Pismo so I'm guessing Avila Valley Barn is the same place? Cool.
Thanks again.
re: smiles33
Both Santa Barbara & Solvang can be busy with tourists....Summer is the busiest- Fall is a bit less crazy, and actually a FUN time to visit!
Solvang: try Cecco for Italian lunch/dinner, right next to Hans Christian Anderson park/surrey cycle rentals- Panino located there as well- great lunch spot!
Google Jalama Beach- if the weather is good, its a wonderful day trip- fantastic burgers, as w
ell as a full menu served.
San Luis Obispo has a awesome childrens museum- located right near the Mission- the city is built around the Mission and there are many choices within walking distance- including a cool Frittes only restaurant whose name escapes me...
re: OldJalamaMama
In SLO give NOVO a shot. Sit outside if the weather is good. The setting can't be beat for ambiance. Food is quite good and is children firendly.
re: smiles33
Avila Barn can't be beat as a kid and foodie friendly stop. If you want to get the kids an ice cream treat( assuming they arent also lactose intolerant) I really like going into Avila proper and getting a scoop at the Hula Hut(they carry doc Bernstein's) and then eating it wile walking out on the pier. I enjoy getting a coffee at joe mama's and doing the same thing in the morning. Not sure if you are a small baked good breakfast person but I think joe mama's has fantastic scones as well. Another fun option near Avila barn is gopher glen - a you pick apple place if you like that sort of thing. I hear the prices are better than the barn but the barn is definitely more of an experience. Have fun!
For Monterey, I recommend both Il Vecchio and 1833 (with Il Vecchio getting the edge IMHO), plus there is Montrio Bistro as well. For breakfast, First Awakenings has never failed me.
In Santa Barbara, I would recommend Santa Barbara Shellfish Company. Last restaurant at the end of the SB Pier. You can sit outside or in, good shellfish selection, clam chowder, etc. Great views and you can take the kiddos to the Ty Warner Sea Center (also on the pier). If you like sushi, Arigato is wonderful. Patio seating available as well. If the kids don't like sushi there are many options for them. Arigato is only open for dinner and they don't take reservations, but if you get there at opening (5:30pm) you should have no problem getting a table.
I would highly recommend The Hungry Cat for fantastic seafood, but it's not cheap and the menu may be somewhat limited for children. Padaro Beach Grill in Carpinteria is great for kids - beautiful views of the beach, outdoor dining and a very safe (and fun!) play area for the children, where they can run around, play in the sand boxes and you can relax and enjoy a nice local brew, if you're so inclined.
Thanks, I' do continue offering some of our own favorite standbys, so here goes again.
---Madonna Inn is a visual delight of pink, twinkle light, copper clad, wood carved and kitsch for kids and adults - San Luis Obispo - food is good and desserts are worth a trip - a surprising quality place and a good stop along the way
---Gopher Glen Apple Farm off See Canyon for apples - height of the season still and getting ready for fall pumpkins - Jonalicious are my all tim favorites right now
---Mo's in Pismo for messy, yummy BBQ (Philthy Phil's) with a must stop at HotLix down the street for crazy bug filled hot candy suckers and fancy flavor salt water taffy.
---Solvang Is not really a tourist trap at all but a reasonably intimate, cozy and almost "authentic" Danish experience - there is valid Danish cultural history here -more of a carefully controlled theme town, than a hokey artificial catchall only for day tripper tourists - hope you can hit it on a weekday
--Our grandkids like the Sea Center on Stearns Wharf too and getting a burger or fish outdoors and watching the pelicans and the birds at the end of the wharf. Then McConnells for icecream - always a must on every visit.
---Los Alamos off Highway 101 is getting rave reviews for several new spots and a delightful small historic town main street - have not been there myself, but it is definitely on the list of backyard places to visit. Sounds like it would be worth a detour on your trip down - others can provide the names of the places to eat there - a Flatbread place and I think "Bell Market Garden".
re: glbtrtr
glbtrtr! Thanks for dropping by and adding more suggestions. I like the McConnell's suggestion!
This is our planned itinerary for now. We are trying to balance great meals with some lighter fare since we don't normally eat so many consecutive meals in restaurants:
Early dinner in Carmel at Mundaka (love the tapas menu!)
Breakfast at Tico's in Marina (we've eaten there before thanks to other Chowhounds' recs--love their eggs benedict!)
Pit stop for lunch in Paso Robles at Artisan (as we're en route to Santa Barbara)
Dinner at Hungry Cat in SB (sbkat: Thanks again for the rec! DH said the girls can split a burger and I know they love all kinds of cheese so we can get the cheese plate, too!)
Breakfast at Santa Barbara Fish House
Pick up fixings for a picnic lunch from DePalo and Sons deli in Pismo and head to the beach/somewhere to relax
Dinner at Giuseppe's
Breakfast/brunch in Pismo Beach TBD (our friends are from the area and presumably will have ideas)
Lunch somewhere on the road (not sure how late we'll eat breakfast/brunch)
re: smiles33
I would trade Scarlett Begonia for breakfast over the FishHouse when in Santa Barbara, though breakfast is hard to get too far wrong,but Scarlett Begonia, or Anderson Danish Bakery or even a Cajun Kitchen would make it more of a special dining event.
But neither are near the beach/wharf like FishHouse. (I actually did not know the FH was even open for breakfast) Yep, just checked and here is the menu: http://www.fishousesb.com/fishouse/br... Hope you can give a good eggs benedict report there too.
Hungry Cat Pug burger was long a favorite and easily enough for two youngsters. And we also enjoyed the tapas at Mundaka in Carmel even better than what we got on our tapas crawls in Barcelona. Sounds like you have done a terrific job getting this all planned out ahead of time and hope you come back with a full report -- esp for the child-friendly aspects because this is a question that comes up from time to time and it does take a different awareness about a place than just for a pair of adult diners.
Enjoy your trip. McConnells recently added Salty Caramel which is what it says it is and a new local favorite, but my own favorite remains Brazilian Coffee Chip.
re: susancinsf
Good to know! We usually go around 7, which is probably a bit late for most kids to eat dinner.
Totally forgot to mention one of my new favorite places in SB - Olio Pizzeria. Opened about a year ago. In the same plaza/square as Arigato and Scarlett Begonia. Their menu is fabulous and their food execution is lovely. More than just pizzas - fantastic tapas, antipasto and great wines and beer. Perfect for kids and adults. Also, I remembered you mentioned lactose intolerance for DH, so may I offer an alternative to McConnell's. Spoon, on State Street has wonderful gelato - right across the street from Arigato, Olio and Scarlett.
No web site for Spoon, but a link to Yelp and reviews here:
Take the kiddos and your picnic fare to spyglass park :) its close to the deli and usually not crowded. Has an awesome little park overlooking the ocean, but no beach access unless you're a crazy surfer who doesn't mind scaling a cliff for a good wave (like my dad lol who took me to the park and told me of his night surfing exploits when I was a kid). We always take a sandwich and some fruit there to enjoy lunch before we get on the road. Have fun!
re: emarie527
My favorite road trip park is Oso Flaco Dunes off Highway one just north of Guadalupe - a long board walk over the lake to view the ducks and a stunning wildflower strewn board walk out to the roaring ocean with an observation platform. Picnic tables available with restrooms half way in a sheltered area. Some okay Mexican restaurants and markets for picnic stuff in Guadalupe itself, but alas the venerable Far Western Cafe Saloon has finally closed and moving to its new digs in Orcutt.
re: glbtrtr
UPDATE: We did the trip and things changed a bit from my original plan as we ended up not going out for breakfast at all. Basically, we ate so much from our dinners that we just weren't hungry in the morning! We also added a late lunch in Monterey, instead of a pit stop at a local restaurant closer to our house.
In general, my girls were well-behaved, as I expected, but I did have to remind my 3 year old not to get too excited and raise her voice. They were always the only children in the restaurants, so these don't seem to be child-friendly places upon first impression. Yet some places--like Artisan in Paso Robles--actually had an unadvertised children's menu (they offered buttered pasta and chicken tenders with fries!).
My biggest challenge is that we usually don't eat so many consecutive meals at restaurants and we also usually eat smaller portions. Since we were staying at hotels, we didn't take leftovers so it meant that I over-ate rather than waste food. I know, not a good move, but it meant I ordered far less than usual. We usually like to get multiple appetizers and entrees, and this trip we almost always stuck to just 1 entree each. I hate feeling limited like that, but alas, it was just too much food!
Without further ado:
1) We ate a late lunch at Lou Lou's Griddle in the Middle in Monterey after heading to the Aquarium before lunch instead of after lunch. Found the rec in a quick iPhone search of Chowhound. All I can say is WOW, what HUGE portions! I thought I had a good appetite but I just couldn't finish my meal. I had an amazing fresh Dungeness crab salad while DH LOVED his sand dabs. The girls shared chicken strips, fries, and the "welcome" plate with cheese, fruit, and salad. We would definitely go back. We lucked out and didn't have to wait for a table since we arrived around 1 pm on a Thursday. Since this is a hole-in-the-wall diner on a pier, having kids there was totally fine.
2) We had our dinner at Mundaka in Carmel with the girls. Pushed the dinner later to 6:30 as we were still full from Lou Lou's but couldn't do it any latee since my 3 year old is usually in bed by 7:30. Best choices were the squid (amazingly executed--truly the best squid we've ever had) and the ravioli. I found the albondigas and clams, potatoes bravas, and marinated olives just ok. The wait staff were SO friendly to the girls and made me feel much less awkward about having kids in there. It was much smaller and quieter than I expected, so I did feel very uncomfortable when we first walked in. The irony is that another couple actually couldn't stop staring at us repeatedly throughout the meal. Initially, I suspected they were annoyed as my 3 year old kept talking in a loud voice despite my trying to hush her. But as they left, they remarked how amazed they were at how well-behaved our girls were and how they, too, have young kids but they would never bring them to such a restaurant. Whew, I was so relieved the staring wasn't because we ruined their date night! So that was a nice surprise and a testament to the fact that not all diners will be annoyed/judgmental when they see young kids at "adult" restaurants.
3) The next morning, we still weren't hungry so instead of heading to First Awakenings in Pacific Grove, we fed the girls some yogurt and pastries from the hotel's continental breakfast and headed out to Paso Robles. Artisan was great, especially since they have an unadvertised children's menu (as I mentioned earlier). DH had the salmon over quinoa with green beans, the girls got pasta with butter and parmesan and chicken strips with fries, and I loved my meatballs, hen of the woods, ricotta gnocchi, piave, and guanciale. The only surprise was that we learned my 3 year old (who has a known peanut allergy) also is severely allergic to sesame seeds (which accented the green beans on DH's plate). She loves green beans and ate quite a bit of his quinoa, too (but we don't think quinoa is an allergen). So we had to stop at urgent care after she had swollen lips and massive hives around her mouth! She's ok and we're scheduling follow-up testing to confirm the allergy.
4) We had a so-so dinner at Hungry Cat. I was still full from Artisan, sadly, so I skipped the amazing raw bar options. Maybe if I had indulged in those I would have had a better impression? My diver scallops were only ok and the girls split a hamburger with blue cheese that was too thick and overcooked ("worst burger I've ever had" per my DH). Yet he loved his dish, house-made chorizo and clams, sofrito, black kale, and grilled bread.
5) Since we had a terrible time in Santa Barbara (long story short, disappointing hotel experience, rainy weather, etc.), we only stopped at the butterfly preserve before heading north to Pismo Beach. Yeah, we basically drove down just to eat at Hungry Cat. Anyhow, we arrived in Pismo Beach earlier than expected and ended up meeting our friends for lunch at Zorro's, a local Mexican place. I really liked my chile verde enchiladas. DH did not like his shrimp enchiladas--he basically picked the shrimp out and just ate those. My eldest has chicken tenders (yes, again--clearly, she's not as adventurous as I thought) and my youngest loved their spicy salsa and ate my rice/beans.
6) We had dinner at Giuseppe's, after a generous snack of roasted artichokes and Italian meats from the DePalo deli. Sadly, Giuseppe's doesn't take reservations so we arrived at 5:30 and didn't get seated until 6:45. I'm torn re: whether it's worth the wait. Most young kids don't like to eat after 7 pm and my 3 year old clearly was too full from the snacking to eat her cheese pizza (which I ended up taking back to our hotel since we have a mini fridge and microwave). I loved my gnocchi, especially since so few restaurants make them. I literally polished off the entire plate! DH thought his cioppino was only ok (solid B grade, it was basically thick tomato sauce, not a broth, and the seafood wasn't cracked well so he had to really work to extract the meat, so it's not even close to Taditch Grill's cioppino which was cracked in such a way as to make it easy to extract and a real broth). As mentioned earlier, DDs barely touched their cheese pizza but really liked the bucatini with meatball. Giuseppe's is kid-friendly, as they even brought crayons to the table (though there isn't a kids' menu).
So that's my TR. Let me know if you have questions and thank you all for the suggestions!
re: smiles33
Thanks for reporting back. I hope your daughter is on her way to a quick recovery and the results you receive are encouraging.
I am sorry to hear your dinner at Hungry Cat was not up to snuff. The raw bar is definitely a must have there, too bad you weren't up for it. Agreed, the clams and chorizo is a signature item that continues to be a solid item on their ever changing menu.
I've never been a huge fan of their pug burger - just not my style. I will say that the first bite or two is usually delicious, but I'm more of a traditional Cali burger gal. I'm curious to ask you how you requested your burger temp. My DH loves the Pug, and will order it medium-rare and I will give them credit; they are good at nailing their temps.
Too bad about your hotel issues and the lack of stellar weather while in SB, which probably was the first ill weather to speak of in nearly a year!
I hope that overall, you had a wonderful trip. Again, thanks for reporting back.
re: sbkat
We asked for medium since my 3 and 6 year olds were eating it, but I would have requested medium rare if it had been for me. They each took a few obligatory bites but they mostly ate the fries that came with it and the oyster crackers that Hungry Cat serves in a bowl before the food arrives (instead of bread--I found that weird!).
The weather was a disappointment but we were prepared as we knew November would be unpredictable. We had a FANTASTIC time at Pismo Beach this morning, though, when the sun came out. We also hit Artisan in Paso Robles again on the drive home and managed to try several items off their Sunday brunch menu. I absolutely loved my chanterelle mushrooms, brioche, bacon, soft poached egg and greens. DH had the short rib hash and fried eggs (a little too heavy before a 3.5+ hour drive). The girls shared an order of beignets and each had an order of buttered pasta. Our 2 friends who joined us had the burrata, tomato and pesto sandwich and the short rib hash. We also split the salmon tartare appetizer which was also amazing--the salmon itself was clearly the star, but I was pleasantly surprised by the complex flavors due to additional ingredients beyond just the standard capers (which were still delicious). For instance, we were delighted to learn from the waitress that the bright notes of lemon were from preserved lemon zest and I think someone asked which pickled vegetable was perfectly diced into tiny pieces (brunoise?) but I can't recall what the answer was.
All in all, the road trip ended wonderfully. When we got home, DH and I had a simple dinner of an Italian combo sandwich (Grandpa DePalo's Grinder which had a delicious tapenade) we purchased earlier from DePalo and Sons Deli in Shell Beach.
re: smiles33
next time in Monterey, try the Fishwife in Seaside, just off Fremont. Nice selection of freshly caught fish in a variety of preparations. Small casual and intimate. Very friendly staff. Their sister Taqueria (Turtle Bay) is right next door on the corner.
Sounds like you all had a good time!
re: toodie jane
We actually went to a Fishwife near Asilomar a few years ago and were sorely disappointed given the very long wait. Is the Seaside location much better?

This has made a great card, covering the card completing in the patterned papers looks amazing.
Why is it that planes seem to hang on to germs so well, I am sure they just go round and round the air conditioning and heating. I have never been on a long haul flight without being ill within a week afterwards. I hope you feel better soon.

Hello there! Thank you for checking out my page.
If you are interested in making an appointment please CALL (215) 272-6549 or EMAIL email@example.com.
This is the first step in beginning or continuing a creative journey that will not only make you a better artist but a better person, as participation in any art will do. I am all about finding out how music and theatre and film and, really, any artistic medium can help us communicate better, unveil new perspectives, and foster a more open, generous, accepting, and passionate relationship with the world around us.
I've been an artist in many different capacities spanning many different mediums including theatre, film, and music as a director, actor, and writer. I received a Master's Degree in Theatre Arts from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, and a Bachelor's of Science in Film and Television from Boston University. As a musician, I've played guitar, piano, mandolin, and sang in touring college bands, city church choirs, high school jazz bands and select choirs, and a plethora of school, community, and professional musical theatre productions. I've also taught guitar (privately and in groups) and led acting/text workshops locally and abroad. My most recent adventure was while I was abroad in Scotland. I wrote and directed a play, "Said the Wind", which was performed at The Arches, Glasgow, and was subsequently taken to the CrisisArt Festival at the Accademia dell'Arte in Arezzo Italy.
As a native of Doylestown, I'm happy to be back home for a while and am looking forward to teaching!
I am taking students at any age experience level, from those who want to learn the fundamentals of music through the guitar, to those who are looking to develop their sense of play and experimentation to better write their own music. First, we'll get to know each other so I can get a sense of your goals, interests, and current abilities. Then, utilizing musical literacy, tablature, learning-by-ear, and improvisation, we'll develop your skills to the highest possible level. I do not specialize in any particular genre or style. Rather, I've learned to specialize in flexibility. The most important thing is to know your instrument inside and out and all that it can offer by way of creation. After that, it's simply about enjoying it.
**I currently do not have an extra guitar available so it is important to provide your own instrument. On that note, taking lessons is only part of the process. The other critical part is practice, so I encourage anyone who is interested in guitar lessons to buy one of your own in order to do so. A simple acoustic guitar like a Yamaha is perfect for your first guitar.
These lessons are suited to those who want to develop their ability to enter an audition room with confidence and charisma and get the job or role you've prepared for. The most important thing to remember about auditioning is that the people behind the table want you to be the right person for the job as much as you yourself want the job. These lessons will be most useful to those auditioning with a monologue or cold reading sides. I can also be of assistance with musical theatre audition songs. If you are not working towards a specific audition, we can work on broad spectrum auditioning and mock auditions. These lessons are available to any age and experience level.
**I can work with those who already have pieces in mind that they'd like to practice on as well as those who need help finding a monologue or a song.
Again, if you are interested in making an appointment please CALL (215) 272-6549 or EMAIL email@example.com.

I have a bachelor's degree in music from University of Miami with a minor in acting and have just finished my Master's degree in vocal performance from Texas Tech University. At Texas Tech I held my own private studio for two years. During that time I taught students of all levels in various styles ranging from classical to music theater, to rock and pop. I have helped students of advanced levels and also students who thought that they were tone deaf. I enjoy working with and getting to know all of my students. Teaching really is a great pleasure for me.
Amy's teaching is centered on making her students love music.
Amy has been teaching students full time since 2009.
After graduating from Eastern University with a B.A. in Vocal Performance, Amy Peck has a broad range of experiences that make her a uniquely qualified voice teacher. Having taught piano and voice full time for over 5 years, Amy is an experienced teacher with fun and educational lesson plans. As a performer, Amy has performed nationally and internationally in opera festivals, as well as musical theatre venues. Please email with questions. References and Resume can be sent to you upon request. Studio policies are as follows....
Cancellation and Promptness
You must contact me 48 hours before the start of your lesson time if you need to cancel or reschedule. Otherwise, you are responsible for the payment for that lesson. There is no exception if I am not contacted before your lesson. The following are exceptions to the cancellation policy:
• Emergencies: Late cancellations due to emergencies will be handled on a case-by-case basis at my discretion.
• Sudden Illness: Please call before your lesson time to reschedule. If you are unsure about cancelling, please call and we can discuss your symptoms.
• Inclement weather
Please reschedule if:
• You are at the beginning of a cold
• You have a fever or a stomach virus
• You have a sore throat or feel very hoarse
Lessons will start and end on time. Please call or text if you will be late. As students are often booked back to back, lateness will not be accommodated at the expense of other students.
Note: Assume your lesson will continue as scheduled, even if it falls on a minor holiday. I am happy to reschedule with sufficient notice.
Please park in the gravel parking lot in front of the house. Do not park in the paved parking lot, unless it is a weekend, as that is for the local businesses
Studio Class
Every few months I will hold a Studio Class. Studio Class is a performance workshop for the singers of a teacher's studio. Students sing for the class and receive feedback. It is an excellent opportunity to prepare for performances and auditions. There will a guest pianist, director, or singer to join me in running the class. It is held in my living room, and between 8- 10 students participate. Students are invited on a rotating basis.
Recitals will take place in the beginning and the end of the year; one at Christmas time and one in late spring. All students are invited to perform. It is not required but highly recommended. Parents, family and friends are invited to recitals. They will be held in local venues around the Philadelphia area.
I have a dog. She is Hypo-allergenic, 4 � pounds full grown, and very friendly.
If you arrive early and I am with another student, you may come in and sit in the living room.
As singing is a physical activity, it is often beneficial to use hands-on techniques. I will always ask the student before physical contact and respect his/her comfort zone.
Parents and/or guests are welcome to observe the lesson, just please let me know in advance.
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

October starts with some great news and with my debut in Marie Claire, UK version.
This is not the first time I have my images in Marie Claire. First time was in Marie Claire Italia, April 2012 featuring my 'Intimacy under the Wires' story, and few months later on September, the magazine featured an image of Jaffa Flea Market.
But this time is bigger and better. Deluxe Travel story about Lisbon with some of my fave images of the Portuguese Capital. This piece really makes me want to book a flight and visit Lisbon again.
If you can get your hands on Marie Claire UK, October issue, here are the details;
Must Do: Ride a vintage yellow tram, no. 28 takes scenic route; dine on fresh fish Aqui Ha Peixe in Bairro Alto; bring home stylish gloves from Luvaria Ulisses.
What to Pack: Dresses are the ultimate holiday staple. Go for block colors that can be livened up with some carefully chosen accessories to take you from sightseeing to cocktail sipping.
Stay At: Palacio Belmonte, a luxurious ten-suite hotel inside the walls of medieval Sao Jorge Castle with terrific views over the city. Add in a swimming pool, garden and gorgeous 18th century azulejo tiles and you are all set for a romantic break.
Since I visited Porto on February 2013, the city was chosen as European Best Destination for the year of 2014. And no wonder. The city combines a rich History alongside contemporary architecture and great dining scene thanks to the wine industry in Douro Valley.
The timing to visit Porto was a great one as I managed to experienced the city before it became too touristic or maybe over-written. My Porto images were in Huffington Post, Elle Decor and now in Virtuoso Life Magazine, July/August Issue.
Excited to have my debut image of Porto with Clérigos Church's bell tower in the background, as an opener to 'Porto Perks Up' article by Jeanine Barone.
To read the full article, please click here or skip to page 128.
I was very excited to get an email the other day from the Photo Editor and Art Director of Voyeur, the inflight magazine of Virgin Atlantic, asking me to shoot a story about Tel Aviv for their August issue.
I love shooting for inflight magazines. They are the first thing I look for when I am taking a flight. My excitement got topped up when I have learned that Virgin Atlantic doesn't fly directly to Israel and yet, chose to feature Tel Aviv as one of the hot and exotic destinations in the Middle East.
'This Israeli city is riding a wave of trends thanks to forward-thinking locals, a booming nightlife and experimental art' says the subtitle, and I had to capture these essence with my lenses. I had less than three days to do so.
In case you are not flying Virgin Atlantic this coming August, here is a summary of the article;
"…Israel's most cosmopolitan city is a fast-paced, chaotic and idiosyncratic, a place where global fusion and local innovation rule everything from food to fashion and even music and architecture . Culturally, Tel Aviv has much to offer. Its collection of art galleries, boutiques and designer fashion markets are easily comparable with any large cultural capital, and it's known for its wild nightlife and thriving gay scene…"
Some of Tel Aviv's Must-See Spots, mentioned in the article are;
'…Much of Tel Aviv's appeal lies in its different neighborhoods, each with an individual feel. The city holds the largest single collection of Bauhaus buildings in the world, collectively known as White City and declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 2003. The 4000 or so buildings are scattered throughout several neighborhoods; the best place to start exploring them is the Bauhaus Center. Wander through the scenic south-west neighborhood of Neve Tzedek (dating from 1887) with its narrow streets, lovingly restored buildings and main shopping strip, Shabazi Street offering charming boutiques and chic cafes..'
Where to stay:
Luxe: For classic European charm with a modern Israeli twist, head for the Hotel Montifiore, which occupies a beautifully restored 1920s building, with 12 luxurious rooms and a superb restaurant.
Hip: The trendy Brown TLV Hotel has a decidedly 1970s flavor and offers 30 comfortable rooms and two cool bars popular with local movers and shakers.
Budget: For those looking for cheaper accommodation, the cosy and friendly Eden House TLV, in the city's historic Yemenite Quarter, is only a short walk to the beach and the busy Carmel Market.
Suburb Spotlight:
'…In the south of the city is the neighborhood of Florentine. Largely overlooked for years, the area has become increasingly hip, home to students, musicians and artists and plenty of bars, cafes and nightclubs. The area's main attraction is Levinsky Market, a stretch of shops offering an astonishing variety of exotic spices, locally roasted coffee blends, cheese, Middle Eastern products, pulses, dried fruit and one of the local specialities bureka (savory pastries)… '
Where to Eat:
'…Hummus is a big deal in Tel Aviv. Locals go mad for the no frills Abu Hassan, where, if you can get a seat, you'll be treated to what is generally agreed to be the best hummus in town…Cult chef Meir Adoni's Mizlala is a mecca for the city's hipsters, with its minimalist decor and cool playlist. But the food is what they come for: creative and meticulously constructed dishes with a pan-Middle Eastern vibe…For a taste of cafe culture, try Sonya Getzel Shapira with its relaxed atmosphere and attractive back garden…'
Don't Leave Without:
'…Checking out Tel Aviv's underground dance venue The Block – it's a must for those wishing to experience local nightlife. Try and catch a contemporary dance performance at the Suzanne Dellal Center. Also visit the Center for Contemporary Art, which showcases cutting-edge installations and video art…'
If you are on a diet, this post might ruin your efforts to lose weight. In that case, I strongly recommend you skip to the next post and just ignore this one. If you are not on a diet, have a sweet tooth, curious about new things or heading to Paris soon, this post is for you.
I was in Paris in March, shooting a story for Feast Magazine about Rue du Nil for their August issue. In addition, I was asked to shoot a cover for the Bite Size Pieces section of the most popular Parisian Eclairs of the well known pastry chef Christophe Adam, the man behind L'Eclairs de Genie. It seems as the eclairs' collection is changing by the day and the season and the colorful eclairs come in a range of creative flavors, filling and topping.
Even though I got from Feast Magazine a detailed list of the eclairs they wanted me to shoot, not all the eclairs were available on that day but some different flavors were presented on the counter. I arrived to the store quite early before its opening hours, just so I can have the space (and the eclairs) for myself but within minutes after its opening, the store got crowded by hungry and curious costumers.
Of course I had to try! At least three of them.
My favorite was Eclair Audrey, named after Audrey Gellet, who won a French baking competition in a television series and was honored to create her version for L'Eclairs de Genie. The eclair has chocolate and tonka bean cream, orange praline and candied oranges.
L'Eclairs de Genie is located in 14 Rue Pavée, steps from Saint Paul Metro station.
A little bit before the month of March, I was contacted by the Photo Editor of FEAST Magazine, who asked me if I could shoot a food story for them while I am in Paris. FEAST is one of the leading food magazines in Australia, and shortly did I learn that food magazines in Australia are like what Fashion magazines are in Italy. The Photo Editor mentioned the three magic words, Rue Du Nil, which, in fact was the first time I have heard about this street.
'…A tiny cobblestone street is the setting of Paris's recent food revolution with shops that now stock locally and ethically sourced produce and a trio of eateries run by the young chef who started it all…'(words by Clotilde Dusoulier)
This young chef is Greg Marchand, 'who in 2009 was returning from a few years cooking abroad- Spain, New York, Hong Kong and London. His nickname then was 'Frenchie', and he lent it to his own 20-seat restaurant, a tiny space with historic charm, stone walls and exposed beams'
Up till then, I personally didn't know about Rue du Nil and didn't hear about Frenchie restaurant, I admit. But after two-days shoot in this tiny street in the up and coming Sentier neighborhood, I felt like I'm at home, saying 'Hi' to my neighborhood vendors and having my coffee at my favorite place. Was it because all the shops' owners were working together and knowing each other, was it because the street is so tiny…I felt very welcomed that even when my shoot was over, I stayed and had a coffee or a drink with the shops' main players.
'…In 2011 he (Greg) opened Frenchie Bar a Vins, a no-reservation wine bar where drinks are downed with small plates made from beautifully sourced ingredient. Among the menu items was a pulled pork sandwich that Greg's wife Marie was so crazy about she convinced him to create a third restaurant, on the same Rue du Nil, which was starting to feel like their own backyard by then…this was how Frenchie To Go was born, in 2013, selling high quality versions of classic sandwiches using house made or locally sourced ingredients…Meanwhile, Greg kept developing relationship with suppliers and partners, many of whom had become his friends. Among them were Alexandre Drouard and Samuel Nahon, who had created a company in 2008 called Terroirs d'Avenir- 'terroirs with a future'…..'
When Greg told them about an availability of some shops in the street, Alexandre and Samuel seized this opportunity and opened three shops side by side; A butcher shop, a fish shop and vegetables and cheese one. I was very impressed by these two young guys and their vision that I found myself having a long conversation with Alexandre (off my shooting hours of course) about the business background and the plans for the future.
The third location I had to shoot in Rue du Nil was L'Arbre a Cafe, located opposite from Frenchie To Go. Hippolyte Courty, the owner of the company, is a well trained coffee roaster who specializes in exceptional coffee grown on biodynamic farms from Ethiopia to India. As a coffee addict myself who is always in search of a good and quality coffee, I highly recommend L'Arbre a Cafe, The Coffee Tree. In one of my days-off shooting I took the Metro all the way from the 11th Arrondissements to the 2nd, just to have a good cappuccino.
The months of March and April were filled with Food shots assignment, and I found this one about Rue du Nil, one of the most enjoyable experiences I had. The Food, the people, the location, all made it a fun one.
Here are some of my favorite shots of Rue du Nil.

I love it when magazines from different countries and aspects find an interest in my on going Laundry Project 'Intimacy Under the Wires'. Whether these are Photography Magazines, Travel Magazines, Art, or Home related ones, it is always an honor for me and an evidence that people feel related to this matter. My recent feature is (believe it or not) in Einfach Hausgemacht, (Easy Homemade) a Home and Kitchen Magazine, published in Germany.
'…For us it is everyday life, for Sivan Askayo it means Art: The young Israeli photographs clotheslines. In Argentina, Spain, Vietnam – Everywhere in the world. But what is the reason? 'Einfach Hausgemacht' asked why"
"The travel photographer has her origins in Tel Aviv and lives in New York right now. She is a student and assistant teacher at International Center of Photography (ICP). In New York she also did her masters in Marketing and Advertising"
I feel a bit over exposed in the short interview I did for Resource Magazine, Summer Issue. But then again, part of our job, as photographers, is to highlight and focus on one object while keeping other in the shadow. Same with our lives. There are matters we feel comfortable to share and talk about, and there are those we prefer not to discuss.
However, this is not the first time I am sharing my personal path and what led me to establish a new career for myself (divorce and lay off from work) and most likely, the second time I am sharing my story with Resource Magazine's readers. The first time was on September 2012, being interviewed about my personal photography project 'Intimacy under the Wires'. Take a look here.
But let me share some of my Q+A I did right after submitting the images to the Productions of the World; Paris. Here is my favorite part: The First and Last questions in the interview.
Q: What's it like having your work published in publications like Travel+Leisure, Marie Claire Italia and Conde Nast Traveller?
Me: These are publications that I've always wanted to work for and I feel very proud. Now that I've been published, I need to pinch myself to remind myself it's really happening. It feels good because people don't know how hard it is to shoot. When you see the printed pictures it all looks so perfect and defined, but there are so many things that a photographer needs to do to get the shot. I always feel accomplished when I see the magazines.
Q: Now that you've become established in photography, what could you say your biggest obstacles are?
Me: When you go on a shoot you need to think ahead of time about what can go wrong, and when you work in a different country with different people, the obstacle is that you never know what they're thinking. Sometimes I'll construct a shoot in my mind and people don't see it the same way as I do- but this is all part of the job!
Here is the full article.
For the third time (and hopefully not the last) I am honored to contribute to the series 'Productions of the World' in the Photography Trade magazine Resource Magazine. In the previous articles I wrote about Tel Aviv and Lisbon, and this time it is all about Paris, one of my favorite cities to photograph and visit. I was happy to get an email from Aurelie, the Editor of Resource, who has asked me to share some of my Paris' pictures. I couldn't have asked for a better compliment, coming from a native Parisian like Aurelie.
If you are a photographer who is interested to shoot in Paris or have any upcoming production or a shoot there, this article will definitely help you plan it. And if you are not a photographer but still, visiting the French capital, you will find some great tips and recommendations.

There is so much of the buzz related to Denmark and Copenhagen regarding the Modern Danish Design. Denmark has been a leading nation in the design field for decades. Whether it is a Danish furniture to Danish fashion and Danish toys, Denmark is producing World renowned design classics, which are being distributed and copied worldwide. Starting in the 1950s with design legends such as Arne Jacobsen (mostly known for the 'Egg' chair) and Hans Wegner (known for the 'Shell' chair) the Danish design tradition has developed into a strong international brand. Scandinavian, and in particular Danish design has become synonymous with timeless style and no wonder Copenhagen is filled with stores of that kind, and I will mention some of the names and addresses at the bottom of this post. Here are some of the spots we visited and these are really just the tip of the iceberg in Copenhagen.
The Danish Design Center was different than what I had expected. Somewhat I thought I would find a large space which curates, shows and promotes the Danish design; a place that will play the role of a library or informational center, maybe even a museum of the history of the Danish design. Instead, I got into a nice and colorful cafe area, Design Society Cafe, where people can sit and work on their computers while the second floor is dedicated to some professionals whose goal is to promote the design activities in the intersection of design and innovation, in order to solve architectural problems. In other words, we didn't see any kind of 'design' or furniture in the DDC, but we got to enjoy a nice coffee break in a very colorful space (see image on top).
Design Society, Andersens Boulevard, 27. Opening Hours: 9:00- 17:00 during weekdays. The Danish Design Center
The first time I came across the colorful furniture and accessories of Hay, was actually last year during a shoot I had in Ghent (Flanders) where I ran into a beautiful concept store called Ydee, with a vibrant window-display . I had a nice conversation with the store owner who explained to me the philosophy of Hay. I could easily buy half of the store back then but I was 'saved' by a limitation of space in my small luggage. (I wish I could tell the store manager to pack me a table to go. You know what I mean). Since then I started to notice some mentioning of Hay on some of my colleagues blogs and I knew that once I visit Copenhagen, I definitely need to visit their store.
Hay is considered the forefront of Denmark's design renaissance. The Hay House, is located in an elegant 1896 Art Nouveau building in Østergade 61 and it is a colorful two-floors store packed with brands such as Vitra, Alessi, Komplot and Established and Sons as well as many smaller local brands. When we got to the store, it was quite packed with other curious people like me who walked around and were happy to take pictures.
Hay, Østergade 61 Copenhagen.
Are you in need for some fonts? Would you like to shop some? This tiny store in Værnedamsvej street is offering a very wide selection of fonts. In 2010, The Copenhagen design agency e-Types opened the world's first physical font shop, serving as a material manifestation of the agency's webpage. A few of my colleague bloggers recommended the place, which also sells posters, cups and T shirts, for the non graphic designers and/or the typographers among us. Those graphic designers and typographers will find a great interest on a Mac computer in the back, where they can search for fonts or buy one to take with them on a USB device. As this store is quite small, the easiest way to locate it in the city, is just across the street from Granola cafe. Check the opening hours in advance.
Playtype, Vaernedamsvej 6, Copenhagen, Opening Hours: Monday – Friday: 12-18, Saturday: 11-15
More Stores and Addresses worth checking:
Norman: Located in a former cinema, this furniture store hosts the brand's entire range of modern designs and also stocks larger pieces by companies such as New Danish Modern, Moooi and Established and Sons.
Designer Zoo: This is one of the most interesting places in Copenhagen to visit and witness how handicraft is being made. There are eight young in house designers with whom you can communicate and ask questions about their work flow, etc. From knitting, painting, metal work, glasswork or ceramics, the results are beautiful. The store was founded by Karsten Lauritsen, a furniture designer who was looking for a space to highlight these hand crafts from across Denmark in one place.
Royal Copenhagen: In case you are looking for a blue-blooded porcelain manufacturer (owned and run by the royal family from 1775 to 1868) then the Royal Copenhagen flagship in Amagertorv 6, is the place for you. Located in one of Copenhagen's oldest renaissance buildings (dating back to 1616) the space is an integrated museum and shop, which stocks the brand's entire collection, including the 'Blue Fluted' patterns that have graced Royal Copenhagen tableware since it was founded to modern collaborations.
Retrograd: For those of you who are after the Vintage, Retrograd keeps an impressive stock of vintage furnishings and household items from the 1950 and the 1960. It stocks everything from porcelain to tableware. The store was opened in 2003 first as a small basement store that soon got bigger. The store is considered a wonderland for any design collector, interior designer or anyone who loves to collect vintage items.
'If you are visiting one museum in Copenhagen, than let it be Louisiana Museum' one guy told me.
'Each time I talk about Louisiana, I have goosebumps' the sales lady told us with almost-tears in her eyes.
So we decided to go to Louisiana Museum.
'But wait! If you are going to Louisiana, you should also visit the Maritime Museum…it's on the same train line' I got this precious tip from Signe, a local friend of mine.
Eventually, our last day in Copenhagen was dedicated to visit these two museums. If you end up doing so (Highly recommended) better get a daily train ticket from Copenhagen's Central Station and use it to visit both museums; Louisiana museum is located 25 miles north of Copenhagen (35 minutes train ride and get off at Humlebaek station) and the Maritime museum is located in Helsingor (another 15 minutes train ride from Humlebaek)
Before I write in more details about these museums, I have a confession to make; I have seen a lot of museums in recent years; thanks to living in New York and for traveling to other countries. And I must admit that these two museums (mostly the Maritime one) have amazed me and are definitely a must-visit.
Louisiana, Museum of Modern Art
This beautiful museum is located in the middle of a green and picturesque grove on one side and with a panoramic view of the coastline on the other side. Opened in 1958, the museum has gone through seven expansions, conducted by the well known Danish architects Jorgen Bo and Vilhelm Wohlert, who wanted to keep the architecture and the structure of the museum connected to its surrounding. Having big windows in such a way to allow daylight come in and at the same time, not to damage the Art. The architect have created an outdoor sculpture park where the visitors are walking through glass passage, leading them into the other pavilions.
Beside the sculpture park and other permanent collections, the museum is hosting various artists as guest exhibitions. One of my favorite permanent exhibit was the Giacometti gallery (3rd image) a two-floors gallery with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the grove. I also enjoyed visiting the Children's wing, which seemed to be popular not only among kids but also among their parents and grandparents, enriching them with various artistic activities.
Plan your visit around noon time and have your lunch outdoors (weather permits) to enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the coast and of Sweden in the horizon.
Opening Hours: Tuesday-Friday: 11:00 – 22:00, Weekend: 11:00-18:00. Closed on Monday. Louisiana Museum.
M/S, Maritime Museum of Denmark
So this museum was an amazing surprise. At least for me.
It started with its location in the city of Helsingor, known mostly for Kronborg castle, where Shakespeares' play Hamlet is set, but also known as a city with great dockyards, where ships were built. The museum itself is built in an old dry dock between Kronborg castle and the Culture Yard, as an underground museum (it took me a while to find the entrance) designed by one of the most renowned international architect Bjarke Ingles.
The entering hall of the museum transfers you immediately to an almost-real experience of an underwater maritime world. A hall colored in a deep blue tone and a red big float in the center of it, makes you feel you are in the middle of the ocean, underwater. The museum pays a great tribute to the history of Denmark as one of the world's leading shipping nations, the life of the mariners and their families as well as the shipping and the trade cultures Denmark is holding.
In addition to the experiential exhibitions, presented in a very engaging and evocative way, there is also a permanent exhibition highlighting the creation and the building process of the museum itself. I highly recommend to see all the steps and process to execute this kind of a museum. The architecture of the museum is quite impressive; built in a dry dock, the floors in the exhibition area slope downwards and the hallways are actually made as glass walls, guiding the visitors through a continuous flow of spaces connecting one dock to another.
Some might tend to see this museum mostly for kids but I do think it is one of the most well done and explanatory museum for the Maritime life. Don't miss it.
Opening Hours: Open Daily 11:00-17:00. Closed on Monday. M/S Maritime Museum of Denmark

SunRail hits landscaping trailer in Seminole County
Published On: May 07 2014 06:19:18 PM EDT
Updated On: May 08 2014 10:47:14 AM EDT
Updated On: May 08 2014 10:47:14 AM EDT
A SunRail train collided with a landscaping trailer in Seminole County on Wednesday afternoon.
The northbound train headed to Altamonte Springs struck the back of a utility trailer in Longwood at State Road 434 near Ronald Reagan Boulevard just before 6 p.m., according to police.
Police said the driver of the truck that was hauling the utility trailer tried to go around the crossing arm as the train was coming by and was hanging over the tracks.
No injuries were reported and passengers on the train involved were transferred to another train.
Northbound trains are being rerouted to the southbound tracks to get around the investigation, according to the Florida Department of Transportation.

Dealing With Viewing Distance
Creating accurate viewing conditions is critical when evaluating your images, and it's something no one seems to be talking about—until now
Tradition also has led people to view their images at 100% to determine how much sharpening to apply. While it's true that you'll need to view your images at 100% to accurately see the results of the pixel manipulations caused by image-sharpening routines, it's not true that viewing at 100% will give you any useful gauge of how much sharpening to apply. There's a useful trick to more accurately approximate the effective resolution of output on a display. Assuming halftone reproduction, where a 300 ppi image is being screened into a 150 lpi (lines per inch) halftone dot, the effect of the screening is four image pixels being formed into a single halftone dot. Ironically, I discovered that a Photoshop screen zoom of 50% will do the same thing—take four image pixels and dither them into a single display pixel. While still at an overly large physical dimension at 50%, it offers a better gauge of what image sharpening actually is needed for digital output.
At a 200% zoom, images look overly coarse and will show pixel artifacts that simply will be invisible to the human eye when reproduced. If you spend considerable time with your images at 200% and try to retouch each and every artifact, you're wasting your time.
The same image viewed at a 100% zoom will still look pretty ugly. A properly sharpened image may appear slightly to considerably oversharpened (depending on the output resolution or media) at a 100% zoom. This is as expected since you're basically looking at the image through a low-resolution 4x loupe.
The exact same image viewed at a 50% zoom will more accurately display both the results of pixel dithering as well as a closer (by one-half), more accurate physical dimension. I'll often even go to the effort of sliding back my chair and viewing the image at a greater than normal viewing distance just to better predict what the image sharpness will look like.
For printing even higher-resolution inkjet prints, say, 360 to 480 ppi, color-management guru Bruce Fraser recommends zooming out even further to a 25% screen as an aid to judge sharpness. It should also be pointed out that you mustn't use any intermediate zoom ratios such as 33% or, even worse, fractional zoom percentages. The blotchiness caused by Photoshop's arguably poor intermediate zoom ranges makes those viewing percentages useless for judging image sharpness.
The lack of proper image sharpening is one of the most serious reproduction problems facing digital photographers today. This issue is caused by low-resolution viewing devices and Photoshop's less than optimal method of displaying pixels on screen. The only truly accurate method of judging image sharpness is to print the darn thing and use your eyeballs.
