About this episode

Katie Lee Biegel chats with Gary Janetti about travel, restaurants, and his books.

I have been a fan of Gary Janetti and his books for a long time. He always makes me laugh, especially with his insights on travel. I had the best time chatting with him about his favorite places in London and New York City, what makes a restaurant experience good (and bad), what he thinks constitutes the worst tourist behavior, his elite travel tips (find a local laundry service!) and how he angles for an upgrade at hotels. Bonus: he brought his adorable dog, Theo, along for the interview.
