Trujillo, Peru
Located twelve hours north of Lima, Trujillo is isolated enough to feel exotic but established enough to accommodate tourists, even those who don’t speak Spanish. Trujillo is the country’s northern beach destination and is also home to the country’s best ceviche. The family-run restaurants are affordable, generous and offer incredibly fresh versions of the national dish of lime-marinated corvhina or lenguado fish with braised sweet potatoes, fresh chili peppers, and fat white Peruvian corn. Don’t miss the local markets with heaps of mangoes, custardy guanabana, and butterscotch-like lucuma fruit, the latter being found only in Peru.

Street food and beaches are the main attractions of this off-the-beaten-path destination. Long a draw for backpackers, the tropical paradise has a strong tourism industry in place already to support its growing popularity. Chaat vendors stroll the beach hawking newspaper-wrapped cones of spicy chickpeas with sweet tamarind and cooling mint chutneys, puffed rice, and yogurt. Others sell gola—shaved ice treats with sweet flavored syrups.

This top food city is trending right now, with a new crop restaurants serving surprising and creative American cuisine. Not to be missed are dinners by top chefs Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski at State Bird Provisions, espresso at Iron & Steam, and charred, sour, and just dense enough artisanal sourdough at Tartine Bakery.

Why would you trek an hour out of Manhattan for Chinese food when you could a) go to Canal Street—Manhattan's own enormous Chinatown—or b) just go to China? Because nowhere else in the world is every nook and cranny of China so well-represented—and in shopping malls, at that. Besides, where else do South American restaurants stand next to Jamaican, Taiwanese, South Indian, and Korean establishments, all offering food equally homemade and delicious? Within a ten-minute walk of the subway stop there’s everything from organic juice and vegetarian dimsum to tongue-tingling Szechuan pork, northern lamb with hand-pulled noodles, fine dining Cantonese-style, and Taiwanese mountains of ice, mango, sherbet, and condensed milk.
Croatian Wine Routes
Croatian Wine Routes
Though overlooked in the past in favour of neighbouring Italian options, the Mediterranean country is ideal for winemaking, which, unbeknownst to most of the world, Croatians have been doing for a long time. Wineries such as Krauthaker, Saints Hills, and Bolfan are even producing stellar organic, biodynamic and natural wines that sommeliers and wine-lovers in the know are clamouring to get their hands on. From age-worthy reds from hand-harvested hillside terraces to cooler-climate northern whites, the unique Croatian varietals are for anyone interested in getting out of the cab sauvignon/chardonnay box.
