Q: My ears always perk up at the sound of "Michelin"...our meal at Wing Lei was definitely not the best of my life, but it was very exceptional. Especially for Chinese food. The food/cocktails and ambiance were impressive; however, the service did not 'wow' me. It wasn't bad by any means, but it was not anything special. Our table of 4 ordered: 2 Peking Duck Salads, 1 Potsticker order, 1 grilled sea bass, 2 3-cup Sea Bass dishes, 1 Braised Duck Breast, 1 Fried Rice, 1 Chow Mein, 4 cocktails (Thai Silk and Lychee Blossom), and 3 desserts (chocolate mint tart, walnut semifreddo, and mochi ice cream). Our bill came to $345 which I think is a GREAT price for the quality of food and the fact that we all got drinks...we also weren't able to finish it all and left very satisfied. Some reviewers commented on an "MSG-y" taste...we did not get that at all with any of our dishes. All the meat dishes were cooked TO perfection and the textures and flavors were excellent. I would love to go back to just try their other cocktails because the ones we had were incredibly refreshing.

Q: i'm a big fan of green spaces in edinburgh! they're good for BBQs in the summer, running all the paths any time of the year, and inverleith is a great place to watch the fireworks for the end of the festival :) they even put up a big screen facing the castle so you can see and hear the concert in the gardens while watching the fireworks! definitely a popular place to go with those who live nearby, instead of making the trek to a very busy princes street! in addition to all that what i really love about this park is that there is a pond which has ducks and swans in it!! being able ot stroll past on a nice day brings back memories of childhood and going to feed the ducks with my mum and sister :) so nostalgia makes this one of my favourite parks in edinburgh!!

Q: Having walked about 30 minutes in the wrong direction absentmindedly, I completed my long hike to Bouillon Bilk. In Montreal for a conference, it was dinner for 1, with my trusty friends The New Yorker and The Economist my only companions. I was delighted to find that the restaurant has seating along both sides of the large central bar, ideal for the lone rangers among us. The decor is unpretentious and minimalist without being sterile. The use of high and low tables helps make the dining room dynamic. For its small scale, it has a sense of theatre. My server, Naomi, was lovely and attentive. As she explained the specials it became clear that this is a restaurant that constructs dishes with many elements-- varied ingredients, garnishes, sauces-- it all sounded very ambitious. I ordered the duck, with cherries, brown rice, snow peas, a mustard reduction, and topped with seared foie gras. On the side I ordered a special of various Quebecois mushrooms, apparently in season. Some hearty country-style bread and an excellent local Pilsner tied me over until the main courses arrived. To get to the point, the food was excellent. Better executed, more satisfying, and more delicious than most similarly "ambitious" eateries in New York. With all the things happening on the plate, every bite was so well balanced-- savory and sweet in a killer combination. Dessert was also on point. They kindly accommodated my request for a simple bowl of ice cream-- scoops of both homemade sesame and coffee flavors, at once delicate and rich. And as Naomi explained, the chef couldn't just send out two scoops ungarnished, so the bowl had little pansy petals sprinkled on top. I highly recommend the restaurant for those who want to instantly confirm that Montreal is a city with a serious and apparently thriving food culture. And importantly, aside from the food, the atmosphere is convivial and relaxed. It was worth the hike.

Q: My man, Jason. I was put in touch with Jason about a year and a half ago when my cousins from London met him during a bachelor party. I go to vegas quite often and they were coming from over the pond to spend some major cash on their bachelor party. They told me that they had gotten their bottle service set up by some company that they had found online. An alarm immediately went off in my head and I told them to send over what they were getting so that I could tell them if they were getting ripped off or not. To my surprise they were getting STELLAR pricing. I ended up kicking my current promoters to the curb and started going through Jason. Fast forward to today I have done two recent trips (one bachelor party and one couples trip) both with bottle service and my service and pricing have been second to none. Both weekends that I was there were big holiday weekends and Jason could not have been more helpful. He stayed on top of his game even though he had a packed schedule and he always makes it a point to come out and see me no matter where I am. I will continue to book my own personal trips through him and refer him to my countless friends that frequent las vegas. Service is a huge must in any business like this and Jason has got it down 100%. Keep doing what you are doing and the possibilities will be endless for you, sir! -Deepak Los Angeles, CA
