Finding budget accommodation in Verona is, in fact, not that difficult at it seems to be a city which has taken up the Bed&Breakfast formula more readily than other tourist locations in Italy. Verona is a fabulous city to visit – small but large enough to be interesting for a couple of days, picturesque and not to mention the scene of wonderful opera in the summer. UK newspaper the Guardian has put together a ranking of Verona’s best B&Bs, which can still be a little pricey but it’s not an exhaustive list

Fork in the Road notes that sometimes Sam Sifton’s prose crosses the line from the mere poetic to reading like actual spoken word poetry. They combine his most dramatic outbursts into one metaphor and simile-ridden piece that begins, “Saturday night in the neighborhood that once gave America fever .” [FitR]

Basketball star LeBron James has yet to decide where he’ll play next season, much to the consternation of fans in his home in Cleveland and here in New York.

You’ll often hear it said that service in London restaurants isn’t up to the standard of the USA, particularly New York. It seems natural to compare these two cities – both hugely important, with vibrant food cultures and each with a smattering of internationally influential restaurants and chefs – and it’s fun contrasting the strengths and weaknesses of each; London for its South Asian cuisine and gastropubs, New York for its delis and sushi

(WSB photo from last month, showing where the top of the new ramp will be ‘fused’ to the old roadway) SDOT mentioned it during the “media tour” we covered on the new 4th Avenue offramp in May – and now, they’re sending out a reminder: When they are ready to connect that new ramp from the eastbound Spokane Street Viaduct to the existing roadway, they will have to close the right-hand eastbound lane for up to six weeks – meaning a traffic bottleneck between 99 and I-5. (On the bright side, they had said in May that it could last up to EIGHT weeks.) Read on for the advance warning SDOT sent around Tuesday night: This summer, crews working on the Seattle Department of Transportation’s (SDOT) Spokane Street project will begin the final step to complete the new eastbound Fourth Avenue off-ramp, connecting the ramp to the upper roadway. The work is expected to start in early July and take up to six weeks, requiring the closure of the eastbound right-hand lane of the upper roadway, between First and Fourth avenues

Ask anyone who’s been to Paris what you should see, and they’re bound to include the Eiffel Tower on their list of musts. The Eiffel Tower is a prominent piece of architecture, standing tall and proud in the Paris skyline. What many don’t know, however, is the history behind the Eiffel Tower and the purpose it now serves.
