Go or No Go Part 2 - Napa

Go or No Go is finally making a comeback! Burnt-out on all things NYC, even the blog is relocating to Napa.

Former Philosophy: In New York's world of endless options, which destinations are worth a trip to dine. I was so confused by all the subjective ratings and reviews with point systems, stars, letter grading like the restaurants were back in middle school, and Frank Bruni's brilliant prose. Ultimately, I wanted to know...should I go there or not?

New Rationale: In addition to essentially playing Napa Valley concierge at my tasting room gig, I have already started to get visitors out here. If not actual friends or family, I will often get a call that someone's aunt and uncle are planning their anniversary trip to Napa or a co-worker will be here for the weekend. Despite wanting to pretend they are coming just to see me, I was recently told Napa is the #3 most popular vacation within the US (behind Disney and Vegas). Regardless, I am constantly pressured to offer up my insider info as a local to make their limited time special.

When an out-of-towner only has one long weekend to squeeze in all the culinary goodness Napa has to offer, they could use some help to make their decisions wisely.


Game on!
