Baked & Wired: Best Cupcakes in DC


As former a Washingtonian/DCist, I am certain that I do have every right to say a word about cupcakes since I gain enough fat from those deliciousness.
Georgetown area has many options for cupcakes. A huge line is always waiting there for the Georgetown Cupcake. Even though their cupcakes look cool, I am not a big fan of this place. It might be the result of I am not that into waiting in lines – honestly living United States is all about waiting in lines but I always do my best to avoid them – or I do not like small cupcakes with all about the sweets on top. I do really like the cake part more than its top.

Baked & Wired also located in Georgetown, serves Cupcakes which are a bit larger than the regular cupcakes that you used to. Actually they are not even called cupcakes. The Cakecups: “Individual cakes wrapped in parchment and topped off with a swirl of rich frosting.” Even reading this description reminds me my favorite cupcake/cakecup Vanilla Satin -Vanilla cake with dark chocolate satin frosting-.
If you are around Georgetown and weather allows, please give it a try to Baked & Wired cupcakes and enjoy the waterfront!
Location: Washington, DC, USA

No Need to Eat in Your Hotel: 4 Great Breakfast Options in Prague

Image
If you visit Prague as a tourist in a breakfast included hotel, you wouldn't find it necessary to eat outside. But if breakfast is an extra in your hotel deal, do not even think about eating in the hotel. For instance, in our hotel, extra breakfast was 11 Euros, though the greatest breakfast you can eat in Prague is around 7 Euros and it is GREAT! Maybe after reading this article, you may end up choosing an hotel without breakfast or skip your hotel breakfast and run to Savoy. I hope this helps...  1. Café Savoy Savoy is one of the great cafes of Prague, with Art Nouveau interiors, smart service and beautiful breakfast platters. If you choose to go on a weekend,  do not forget to book a table, because the place is booked with locals, and eating upstairs does not give you the full experience. The place serves four types of breakfasts, Continental, Savoy, French and English, though they have added their interpretation t...

Greenwich Royal Observatory with a Guided Tour

Image
I've recently visited the Greenwich Royal Observatory for a second time. Usually, in such museums, I pick up an audio guide, listen to everything it says and leave the premises satisfied, trusting I know the things that are worth knowing about the issue at hand. However, this time, we gave the free guided tour a chance. I am not a big fan of the guided tours, walking as a flock and not being able to see or read any piece due to the crowd. Though I am glad we took the tour this  time. As I have already listened the audio guide in my previous visit, I had the chance to compare the guiding systems. Trust me, you don't miss anything the audio guide tells you by taking the tour. Our guide, not only gave us every detail given in the audio guide, she also told us the dirty details, the petty conflicts among the scientists, especially between John Flamsteed and Edmund Halley, and the politics related with time and longitude...

Brighton, UK: Storms, Sun and Impromptu Picnics

Image
A friend once said "We live like teletubbies here in Brighton." Coming from a big city where daily life is a struggle, I believe that is an accurate statement for Brighton where no one feels like a foreigner; being eco-friendly, vegetarian and retro are glorified, and "marginal" groups are never marginalised. Brighton (and Hove) is a small city with a population around 270.000 people, just in the south of London, can be reached with a 50 minute train ride from the Victoria Station. Though it is not worth a visit during the storms,  when you cannot even reach the seaside because of the crazy ocean winds, it is heaven when it's sunny, and everyone is trying to reach the beaches from the hills of the city, like newborn caretta carettas. As the saying goes for all Britain, Brighton as well, "does not have a climate, it has weather, and if you don't like it just wait for a few minutes."  Thus, you have to be prepa...
