Gateway of India

posted by fsteiner on 10 February 2011 at 10:29

Ah the comforting gateway, the first sight you'll see and a talisman for the lost traveller! It's great to have such an iconic meeting point to get your bearings from and the atmosphere around the gate means you don't even mind waiting for your lost friends!

Arc de Triomphe

posted by DVC_Chris on 1 June 2009 at 02:39

Paris has many amazing architectural landmarks, but during my visit the one that stood out the most in my mind was the Arc de Triomphe, which was built by Napoleon to commemorate all of his victories. It stands very majestically in the middle of the city, and its sheer size lets people who see it imagine all of the troops marching through it.

Buckingham Fountain

posted by triplecrown on 27 May 2009 at 17:50

It is a huge fountain in the local park near Lake Michigan. The water show is mesmerizing and beautiful and starts on the hour. It is computer controlled and at night it includes a light display. Young and old will enjoy it!

Notre Dame Cathedral (Cathedrale de Notre Dame de Paris)

posted by irishiiiiiis on 18 May 2009 at 12:49

Ok this is a must see landmark in Paris, full of history, information and beauty. With that being said, there are definite ways to see Notre Dame avoiding long lines and hassles. First you have to go first thing in the morning on a weekday. Take your pictures of the square, and then go into the church which opens at 8:30. Explore the church for around an hour or so, then go and get on the line that is now forming for the towers. Grab a coffee from the little coffee shop while you wait. When the towers open climb the long narrow steps slowly, take your time and do not buy anything from the gift shop on the way up. You may want to stop and look around to catch your breath, but avoid the temptation to buy until you are on your way back down. Why carry the bags up then down? After the towers spend the money to take the treasury tour. If you are lucky to be there on a Friday you will see the crown of thorns on display, but there are hundreds of relics to see.

Pinks Hot Dogs

posted by irishiiiiiis on 7 May 2009 at 12:56

We are not talking fine dining here, but it is a unique LA experience that anybody who has ever spent some time in LA has gone to Pinks. This place is even in commercials for Volvos as the couple frantically drive thru the city to get to... you guessed it....Pinks before it closes. Everything you ever thought possible is done to a hot dog here, and I venture to guess many things you never thought possible are done to hot dogs here. The chili bacon hot dog is sinfully good, but try to pay no attention to the sound of your arteries hardening as you scarf your dogs down. Be prepared to wait on line for an hour or more (no I am not kidding). When driving to the area grab any parking space you can find in a 10 block radius because every one in the area is there for Pinks. Eat outside at a picnic table if you can get one (there is no inside dining lol). Great place to bring the kiddies, and very inexpensive.
