U2 360° Tour in Vienna 08-30-10

“You know, some people measure their years from New Year’s Eve to New Year’s Eve.  We seem to measure our years from U2 show to U2 show.  Well, this year, at least.” The above statement is what I said to Mrs. NH as we were heading back to our hotel, hot on the heels of…

U2 in Vienna

We’re about to hit the road to see the world’s biggest band in Vienna.  Expect a full report when I return as well as a few more posts.  I know, it’s been quiet around here.  Until then!

Slingbox in the Vienna Airport

Man, I can’t get over how much I love this chunk of tech.  It’s 7 in the morning and I’m watching Fox News in the Cafe Bistro Johann Strauss in the Vienna Airport.  I’ve got Russians slurping beers to one side and goodness knows what else to the other side and I’m focused on Newt…

Tewa – Naschmarkt – Vienna, Austria

Figlmüller – Vienna, Austria

In Germany, Wiener Schnitzel is a staple.  In Austria, it is protected by law.  And no place moreso than at Figlmüller in Vienna.  This was about my fourth trip to this sacred shrine of schnitzel and it never ceases to amaze me.  First, there’s the place itself.  It’s an unassuming entrance to a clean, homey,…

Naschmarkt – Vienna, Austria

If there’s a place all epicureans should visit before they die, it’s Vienna’s Naschmarkt.  Mrs. NH and I trekked there this past weekend and were blown away by the sheer variety of food on display and for sale.  The market itself is located in the southwest quadrant of the city just outside the middle ring. …
