Well, the name is tempting but add a subtitle of Recipes and Rituals from European Tearooms and Cafés, and my attention is captured!

Tea is a drink (or beverage if you hail from North American shores), yes, that's true, but it's also an institution, an event, a ceremony. A mug of tea, a doorstep sandwich and a doughnut (don't write in, I do love them) does not amount to Afternoon Tea... even if you are drinking and eating the aforementioned items during those hours after lunch (that's dinner if you are from some parts of England) and before dinner (supper if you are from those same parts of England).

No flash in the pan! Christy’s is the Grand Dame of Coral Gables restaurants, still packing them in after thirty years with its simple formula of great food and impeccable service. Politicians, CEO's and Celebes have all made this landmark a local favorite. From Rod Stewart to Tiger Woods. From Michael Jordan to Governor Jeb Bush. Yes, this is THE place for great aged steaks and prime rib, grilled lamb chops, fresh Florida seafood and homemade desserts.  But the line at the door tells the story. This is the place to be. Best bets: the award-winning Caesar salad served with all entrées, shrimp cocktail (man eaters), prime rib, fresh grilled yellowtail snapper and signature Baked Alaska.

Welcome to Dixie's, Grand Avenue's original restaurant for Southern-style cuisine since 1985 and home to award winning ribs, skin-on mashed potatoes and desserts. Well into the third decade of local ownership, Dixie's on Grand has just undergone an extensive remodel to give what was a gracefully aging southern belle a new, fresh interior while retaining its famous booths and seating along St. Paul's meandering Grand Avenue. Once a Piggly-Wiggly grocery store, Dixie's landmark site offers southern hospitality and its signature smokehouse ribs, chicken, chops and coconut shrimp to a loyal clientele, which is grown over the years.

Sydney, Australia, also sometimes lovingly referred to as “the Harbour City” remains one of the world’s top tourist destinations, and was ranked the 4th most popular in 2008 by Travel & Leisure Magazine. Originally a British Colony, Sydney is Australia’s largest city and the capital of the state known as New South Wales with a population of 4.34 million people. Anyone who visits here tells you that their primary reason for their love affair with Sydney is her residents. Australians, in general, are some of the friendliest hosts to international tourists in the world, even welcoming to some of the most stereotypical, southern Americans (I’m from the south in America, so I can get away with saying that).
