Zurich – What can you do when it’s summer and 35 degrees in Zurich?
You can go to an open air swimming pool that is actually the lake of Limmat, enjoy cool drinks, later in the evening dance and just enjoy the scenery of Zurich’s old town. There is a special summer program for concerts and parties. This recommendation is certainly not for food but if you are hungry, you can always have selected sandwiches and ice cream from Sorbetto “en masse”…
Washington D.C. – For my last birthday I was in Washington visiting. I was invited to “Le Diplomat” restaurant for brunch. The internet page explains it best: “Le Diplomate pays homage to French café culture by providing a comfortable place for everything from a cappuccino and croissant on a lazy weekend afternoon at brunch to a celebratory dinner out with friends or just a drink and dessert at the close of an evening.”
I had my best Croque Madame there and tasted the American version of Belon Oysters, accompanied by a nice bottle of champagne. What a treat! I highly recommend a visit whenever possible not only for the food but also the service and the nicely decorated venue.
