I totally agree about the DNC. And I shall never forget Angela Alsobrooks’ story about her grandmother (a housekeeper) improvising for her civil servant test by drawing a typewriter keyboard on a piece of paper and putting it on the refrigerator to practice her typing. 👑

Bon voyage! Here with the Porto & Douro Valley recs…

Restaurants in Porto:

• O Tascö (obsessed! sharable plates, ceviche, roasted vegetables, incredible cocktails, good dessert, fun staff)

• Cervejaria Gazela (sells "cachorrinho", a hot dog sandwich on crusty bread with cheese and spicy sauce, super casual, line moves fast)

• Antiqvvm (Michelin star, spendy, worth-it tasting menu in a pretty setting)

• If you do any port cellar tour, highly recommend Ferreira! Women played a big role in their business, and they are the only company still owned domenstically.

In the Douro Valley, dinner with pairings at Quinta de la Rosa is wonderful! Have the best time! (Also recently went to Spain if you need any Sevilla or Granada recs.)
