Food. Yes, we've had a bit! Most of it very good and generally a bit cheaper than London. We try not to eat too much - but I'm not sure that we are succeeding. We have a superb breakfast of granola and berries, followed by toast and brie and then we try not to have anything else until dinner time, usually very early, six thirtyish. Some nights we eat in (tonight it's chicken curry, surprise, surprise!), but more often we eat out. So far we have been revisiting old favourites and have only tried one new place, Chaya Venice, nearby on Main Street. Top five so far.
