Feb 10, 2012 | Contributor: Lena KatzIt makes sense that British Columbia would rush to raise the flag of the local/sustainable/seasonal dining movement. Fertile lands, temperate climate, bounteous sea life and incredible foraging are nature's gift to Canada's southwestern coastal province. The people tend to be an educated and sensitive lot - many of whom have moved from other parts of Canada or the world to follow their dreams of artisan cheesemaking or the 100-Mile Diet. And the mayor of Vancouver has vowed to make it the "greenest city in the world" by 2020.

Dec 18, 2011 | Contributor: Melanie Votaw | 3 CommentsNiagara-on-the-Lake in Ontario, Canada (just over the border from New York State) is well-known for ice wines, and the village takes full advantage of this notoriety. The main drag, Queen Street, is graced with signs for "ice wine fudge," "ice wine coffee," "ice wine tea," and "ice wine chocolates." An Icewine Festival is even celebrated there every January. But the village is even more famous for the Shaw Festival every summer, showcasing plays by George Bernard Shaw, as well as other productions.... Read More |

Nov 21, 2011 | Contributor: The Daily MealThe day of grace and gluttony we know as Thanksgiving is more than just the big meal before Black Friday. It has rather noble origins. When our pioneering forefathers arrived on American shores, they left the Mayflower in a tragic state. Throughout the winter at sea they suffered from exposure, scurvy, and outbreaks of contagious diseases. When only half of the original crew made it to the New World, an Abenaki Indian greeted them in their native tongue of English. Days later, he returned with Squanto, a member of the Pawtuxet tribe, who was sold into slavery to an English sea captain.... Read More | 
Nov 1, 2011 | Contributor: Lena Katz | 1 CommentA month into autumn, there are so many harvest festivals and regional gastronomic celebrations on the calendar worldwide, we can't figure out an orderly and fair way to cover them. So we shall make do with a disorderly and probably unfair roundup (because we can't possibly include EVERYTHING that's deserving), in installments as we can manage. Here's a first dispatch of harvest-time goodness, with more to follow — in no particular ranking, because "better" in this case is only a matter of personal taste.... Read More |

Aug 26, 2011 | Contributor: Lena KatzThe relentless coal-devouring “iron horses” that redefined land travel during the Industrial Revolution are now considered a romantic and experiential relic from the past. Aside from AMTRAK and modern commuter trains of the East coast, North America’s remaining railroads are strictly scenic—which is not necessarily a bad thing. Without having to worry about things like commuter service and freight hauling, railway revivalists can find and explore those epic pockets of natural beauty, like Verde Canyon pictured here, that highways don’t touch and humans can never reach on their own two feet....
