A truly 24-hour city that will impress even the most been-there-done-that New Yorker, Tokyo always has somewhere for you to eat, drink, dance and yes, sing Karaoke, regardless of the time of day. And no matter how many times you've seen Lost in Translation, you'll never know Tokyo or have any real idea of what to expect until you've actually visited. And even then, this massive metropolis has so many sides, it's difficult to truly explore it all in one trip - or ten. 

Still, it's not all hustle-and-bustle in Tokyo. In fact, you'll find a perfect serenity in our Trip Pick of the Week: the uber-polite etiquette of its residents translates into a relaxing experience for visitors, one that's hard to find anywhere else in the world. Watching a purchase being perfectly packaged at one of the city's many fashionable boutiques can feel like an exercise in Zen, no meditation on your part required. 

The service industry, too, illustrates a dedication to hospitality that's unparalleled. Forget your passport and scads of cash in a safe in your hotel room? (Maybe we have.) Never fear - an employee of the property will meet you at Tokyo's busiest train station, happy to bring you your lost goods, no charge or tip expected. Indeed, it's these little things - the attention to detail, the patience, and the respect for order - that add up to make the city such a uniquely visitable destination...

Overall travel tip: Give yourself at least one day in a new city that involves you walking out the door with the goal of using your own two feet to get around, but otherwise, no real agenda. It's the best way of getting to know a place and its locals. 

Any travel quirks? Even though I'm a professional baker, I actually love airplane food! 

One thing you do on every trip: My exploration of any destination usually revolves around local fresh produce markets. I love to experience and savor even the slightest taste in differences of the most common fruits - like a NYC orange, pear, apple, and grape versus the ones in Sevilla, Spain. I receive a great joy in seeing, smelling and tasting anything that inspires me to bake...
