Barbican Architecture Tour

Barbican Architecture Tour Knowledgable, opinionated guides take you through the maze of history, apartments, practice rooms, doctor offices, Roman ruins, and all the other magical weirdness of the Barbican. Impossible to take it all in otherwise, and different every time.

Winter "Set Lunch" at The River Cafe

The most affordable way to eat at one of the most special, but expensive, restaurants in London. Available January through April.

Hotel La Nouvelle République Paris

Comfortable, affordable (for Paris), and in an ideal neighborhood. Strongly recommend the pastries at the nearby Boulangerie-Pâtisserie Terroirs d'Avenir for breakfast.

Bread Shop

Every pastry and loaf I ate here was perfect (I went back twice in the course of about 3 days)
