'' : 's')); } ); sightseeing Chasing Marlene Dietrich  Berlin born and bred, the mighty Marlene Dietrich had a love-hate relationship with her home town, complicated by the fact that she skedaddled in the 1930s, vilified the Nazis, and returned to the bombed-out capital in 1945 in a US Army uniform. No Christopher Street Day parade is complete without a passel of Dietrich-inspired drag queens, but her grave in Friedenau cemetery has also been defaced -- one memorable piece of graffiti called her a "slut in furs." She left behind a trail of less-than-accurate autobiography, a substantial number of deleted FBI files, and an estate which zealously guards her reputation (and her copyrights) from all comers. But there are still plenty of landmarks where you can pick up the scent. Here's a safari round a few of the locales that make up Dietrich's Berlin.

The art of the beautifully engraved carte de visite is alive and well at a handful of select addresses where traditional craftsmanship and French savoir-faire produce timeless paper goods that make a real statement in the modern world. What follows is a guide to Paris' finest stationers, where elegance rules, and paperless is a dirty word.

While the Beats were constantly in motion, making a home wherever they happened to pass out, they all had a special love for the chaos and energy of New York City, which is reflected in their best writing. Kerouac, Neal Cassady, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, and other influential Beats spent some of their most productive and destructive years in New York, shuttling between mad parties and bop joints and drinking and drugging their way to literary infamy. And while there are many Beat landmarks throughout the city, it seems the most appropriate to visit the taverns and bars that fueled their creative impulses. While many of their favorite haunts have now passed into history (Cedar Tavern, RIP), a decent handful of Beat bars remain, waiting to be discovered by the next generation of young, thirsty writers.

But that would be a darn shame given DC's excellent smattering of bakeries. Visit any of these local patisseries if you're looking for a reason to indulge. Suggestions welcome via the comments or the tip line.

'' : 's')); } ); san francisco San Francisco Bars With Photo Booths  In our ever-connected, over-exposed world of Youtube, celebrity crotch shots and drunken hamburger feasts, we sometimes have conflicting emotions - a nostalgia for simpler photographic times and burning envy of celebrity fame and fortune (that's right - no underwear tonight!) Enter the world of nightlife retro-chic - bars with photobooths to capture all your personal debauchery without that automatic link to the internets (well, not usually.) Classic black-and-white shots with your ten most-bestest friends are not only a memento for a wild night out, but confirm that yes, at some point in the evening you were wearing pants.

'' : 's')); } ); top The Best Pie Holes in Paris  You've had your fill of steak frites and foie gras, you've done your requisite hot bistronomique and Michelin-starred temples -- but still can't shake that feeling. You need pizza. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Paris pie houses are mediocre at best, offering inedible travesties, 80% of them using industrial, refrigerated dough. There are a handful of Paris addresses (some kept jealously secret by pizza purists) to satisfy your craving. We do the work so you don't have to.

'' : 's')); } ); top New York's Finest Cocktails  New York has always been a city of great bars and talented barmen, but in the past few years it's embraced the trend toward ultra high-end cocktails. I don't mean dumb-money drinks like the World Bar's $50 liquid gold cocktail or the $10,000 diamond martini from the Algonquin, but rather the new class of drinks in the $12-$18 range that are mixed with the freshest and most innovative ingredients using new takes on classic recipes. At its leading edge, mixology in New York today is almost academic in nature, with hours of painstaking yet enjoyable research yielding menus of perfectly balanced cocktails designed more to thrill the taste buds than to get you sozzled -- though they also do that quite nicely.

'' : 's')); } ); san francisco San Francisco's Best Donuts  Donuts are yummy. This is an undisputed fact. Forget about the carbs, the fact that they are largely deep fried in animal rendering, and that all that refined sugar will completely ruin your hippie diet. Sometimes you just need a delicious treat on a cold morning. The decor in these places is usually functional at best, but at 7 a.m., all you can see are the glazed toppings anyway. Grab your coffee somewhere else and gorge on what theses donut shops have to offer; other worthies may be nominated in the comments or via tips.

'' : 's')); } ); top Eating Cheap at Expensive LA Restaurants  Even those of us who are masters at manipulating expense accounts are starting to get nervous when looking at current entree prices at upscale LA restaurants. Suddenly and without warning, a routine pork chop accompanied by some low-ranking vegetable now retails for $38. In addition, entrees in the mid-$40 range have started to make an unwelcome appearance, clearly a foreshadowing of things to come. And just try and find a starter for less than $15; you'll have better luck finding free parking. But relief is in sight: At least eight LA chefs have recognized the need for subsidized dining and have created cheapster menus (usually available early in the week or at lunch) that can be sampled without taking out another line of credit.
