I have a reverse bucket list and often I make a list of things I want to accomplish during the year; for example a 34 Before 34. I love good food and tasty drinks. I thought it might be fun to make a food related bucket list.
1-Cupcake @ Magnolia Bakery (401 Bleecker Street & West 11th Street in New York)
Why?: The cupcakes look and sound amazing and also because we have spent A LOT of time watching Sex And The City! And I have always wanted to go to New York and go on the SATC tour; one of the stops is in fact at Magnolia Bakery.
2-Champagne @ the top of the Eiffel Tower
Why?: My time in France was incredible and I find myself longing to go back to this romantic city and spend more time at the Eiffel Tower; what better experience than sipping champagne taking in the breathtaking views from 276m.
3-Michelin Masterclass @ Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in London
Why?: Being a Mr. Ramsay super-fan having the ability to learn how to make a three course lunch meal with an expert chef and then indulge in canapés and champagne at his flagship restaurant would be out of this world.
4-Hawaiian Luau
Why?: I have heard that this feast of poi, Kalua pig, poke, lomi salmon, opihi, haupia and beer coupled with traditional entertainment, music and hula is a must!
5-Dinner @ The Best Restaurant in Canada (Alo in Toronto, Ontario)
Why?: Canada has an incredible culinary scene; and I want to experience as much of it as possible.
6-Afternoon Tea @ Claridge’s in London
Why?: I’m a sucker for the ability to step back in time and experience this Victorian tradition of finger sandwiches, scones, sweet pastries and delicious loose leaf teas. This location is simply exquisite.
7-Vodka Tasting @ Ketel One Ice Room in Whistler
Why?: How cool (pun intended) would it be to sample vodkas from across the globe in the coldest (-32C) tasting room in the world??? It is also an opportunity to learn about the intricacies of the process to manufacture vodka!
8-Breakfast @ Tiffany’s (Fifth Avenue & 57th Street in Manhattan)
Why?: Simply put… I would love to create Audrey Hepburn’s iconic scene; complete with glamorous outfit and bagged breakfast of coffee and a danish!
9-Beaver Tail @ Rideau Canal in Ottawa
Why?: I’m a true Canadian girl so being able to go ice skating at this iconic location and pig out on this deep fried pastries is where it’s at!
10-Bar Hopping in Nashville
Why?: “NashVegas” is full of fun; a great strip of bars, neon lights and awesome music. The party doesn’t seem to stop on Lower Broadway! To paraphrase a Jake Owen song; “I may not go down in history But I’ll go down to the honky tonk.”
