While these are some of my favorite places in Johannesburg, it’s important that I tell you that customer service in South Africa is…well…hmm…lacking. Not everywhere, but in more places than not. So show up knowing this, and you shouldn’t have a problem. Although, most of these places are top...

You have to break the rules sometimes when traveling to get to the good stuff. When I’m in New York, I typically refuse to head above 72nd Street unless I’m in the Park. There’s nothing up there for me really. The last time I ended up in Harlem was...

When I lived in Newark (I know, I know), the only thing I loved about Jersey was the cheap rent. Hell, it was a 3 bedroom townhouse for $1,600. I worked, played, ate, ran, rollerbladed, biked, and met up with all my people in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Eventually I...
