It’s time to start dreaming of your next trip. Here’s some destination inspiration for you. Take a visual journey through these pies from around the world, and maybe you’ll be inspired to take that next trip for a delicious slice.
Originating in the United Kingdom, banoffee pie consists of bananas, whipped cream and a thick caramel sauce, all atop a buttery biscuit pie. The chef of an East Sussex restaurant claims credit for creating the now popular pie. It is so popular, tins of Nestlé’s condensed milk feature a recipe for it on the back. The pie is a great alternative to pumpkin or pecan pie this Thanksgiving. © Ira Taskova | Dreamstime.com
Craving something more savory? Head to South Africa and try Bobotie pie, first documented in a Dutch cookbook in 1609. A fruity and savory pie, Bobotie is filled with beef, mango chutney, curry powder, turmeric, sultanas, almonds and onion. The pie makes a whole meal, but for a holiday feast, it’s best served with turmeric rice and a salad. © Beataaldridge | Dreamstime.com
We’re all familiar with classic cherry pie, an American favorite. But for that traditional lattice cherry pie, look no further than kersenvlaai, a Dutch recipe known for its intricate designs on top. These pies contain Dutch cherries, a tart version perfect for a pie. © Barmalini | Dreamstime.com
Pop over to Greece and indulge in creamy, flaky spanakopita. Packed with spinach and feta, this savory pie hails from Epirus in northwestern Greece. While difficult to trace, the pie has most likely been enjoyed for at least 400 years. The pie is so loved, it made its way across the world, including the United States. © Mypointofview | Dreamstime.com
Taste the best of the Finger Lakes, New York, with Concord grape pie. Often part of harvest traditions in the Finger Lakes, grape pie has become a regional specialty of Western New York. It has become so integral to the area, it is a staple at Naples Grape Festival in New York. © Bhofack2 | Dreamstime.com
Tart and sweet are all part of the package with classic key lime pie. Inextricably linked to the Florida Keys and greater Florida, key lime pie’s star ingredient is, of course, key lime. Together with condensed milk and egg yolks over graham cracker crust, this pie was called Florida’s “most favorite treat” in the 1950s. © Rimma Bondarenko | Dreamstime.com

Oct 16, 2024Atticus Hotel Review
This homespun country inn is most associated with a wine country vacation, commonly decorated with “craftsman”- or “farmhouse”-inspired décor. While these often-folksy inns provide a sense of place, Erin Stephenson and Brian Shea, founders of Atticus Hotel, shook up that formula ever so slightly. Rather than go the “quaint” route, an eclectic and urbane mix of furnishings and accents blend the Pacific Southwest Americana of Willamette Valley hub McMinnville with the contemporary sensibility of Portland, located 40 miles south.

Oct 15, 2024Immerse in Retro Style and Aviation History at TWA Hotel
Stepping into the lobby at TWA Hotel transports travelers in a whole different way. While most people plan vacations to travel to another destination, this particular hub instead takes you back in time to the golden era of aviation. The award-winning space resides in the expertly designed and restored former Trans World Airlines Flight Center, originally constructed by Eero Saarinen in 1962. Two added wings house more than 500 guestrooms overlooking the runways at the airport. But unlike many other airport hotels that get a bad rap, these rooms are insulated from the noise and activity surrounding the airport.
