In Britain: exceptional pub grub
“WE found a great pub in the Victoria-Pimlico area of London: The Jugged Hare serves Fuller ales and beers and traditional pub fare that is exceptionally delicious. Steak and ale pie ($13.75) has a crisp pastry-like crust; fish and chips ($14) includes a lightly battered filet; there are vegetarian options. Desserts include steamed chocolate cake ($6.60) served with warm custard or ice cream.â€

Mexico: charming
hacienda hotel
“WE would like to recommend a charming hotel that we stayed at on a visit to Tlaquepaque, Mexico, just outside Guadalajara. The Hotel Casa Campos is an old hacienda with a beautiful courtyard where you can visit monkeys, parrots and finches. The hotel also has an intimate lounge and a charming restaurant.†Doubles from $78.
