In his book "The Tipping Point", Malcolm Gladwell says Mavens are "information specialists", "almost pathologically helpful" people we rely upon to connect us with new information...This blog is an invitation to share the hidden gems that make the places we visit (or live at) more enjoyable. Food and experiences worth a Plane ride.
