The name of the game is hit it and squid it 🐙 Today was a day for wandering and dedication to the fine craft of filling one's belly 😍 We wandered through the cool and windy streets of the #gothicquarter today before stopping at @la_boqueria for a feast! We dined of #eggs with #babysquid and #razorclams from the insanely wonderful @elquimdelaboqueria and then moved on to #BarPinotxo where we dug into #cockles, #squid with #whitebeans, and our personal favorite of the whole day (because an abuela ordered us to get it) #rabbit ribs 😍😍😍😍 We tried to earn our dinner after a siesta by trekking up to #parcguell, #Guadis home in Gracia, one of the villages that has become part of the city, and damn did those steps work us. However, it is without a doubt, the best view of the city and the most amazing gardens we have ever stepped in. Then, of course, it was 10 pm and once again time to eat so we stopped at @elnacionalbcn for #patanegra (the Iberian cured ham that is feed acorns and is essentially the happiest animal) and #arroznegro. #ElNacional is housed in a wonderful art noveau style building with several sit down areas serving different specialities, the pictures alone are 👍 but the food is wonderful. We ended the night at @vinitus, a super modern #tapas bar in #leixample where the start was the #foiegras with #apples 😍😍😍 So, I guess this would be a good time to tell you all we are moving to #Spain and never leaving? Lol nahhhh, but also Ashley is trying to talk me into retiring her and I'm totally okay with it. #queenseats #queenseatshoneymoon #visitbarcelona #barcelonaeats #eatbarcelona #barcelonafoodie #barcelonafoodcrawl (at Barcelona, Spain)

We've had gelato fun, but it's time for us to scoop on out of here 🙌 We had a killer final day in #Zurich! Filled with this #darkchocolate, #milk, and #mango #gelato 🍨 from @gelatiamsee, paddle boating on #LakeZurich, and finishing our day with #honeymoon #massages and the pool on the roof of our hotel @b2_boutique_hotel 😊 We couldn't have asked for a better and more relaxing time to end our trip (especially after the whirlwind of walking that started it). Bye for now #Switzerland, see you tomorrow #Queens 😘 #queenseatshoneymoon #queenseats #visitzurich #zuricheats #eatzurich (at Zürich, Switzerland)

#Hops into bed or #brew in the spa, but here the amenities are un-#beer-lievable! And I thought Ashley had showed me every ace up her sleeve for this trip, but then we turned the corner in #Zurich and she told me that the #brewery on the hill was our hotel 😱 and it had a full Irish roman spa 😱 I love this woman. So today, I got to drink the beer from the former brewery that our hotel @b2_boutique_hotel has taken over and modernized, which was incredible. We got to take a tour of the former brewery (and drink more beer), eat delicious local cheeses and breads in the library, and just chilled in the spa and rooftop pool all day overlooking the whole city of #zurich #switzerland. Finally, Ash had to tear me away from the hotel and beer 😭 to have dinner; we went to local bathhouse turned night time bar @rimini_bar and chomped down on pizza and drinks and finished up at #Achi for late night dumplings 🙏🙏🙏 A perfect first day in #Zurich, drinking beer with my favorite girl in a rooftop pool 🏊 couldn't ask for a better end to our trip 👌 #queenseats #queenseatshoneymoon #eatzurich #zuricheats #zurichfoodcrawl (at B2 Boutique Hotel + Spa)

Barcelona, is #shellfish for me to say I'll miss you, don't change? It's our last night here in beautiful #Barcelona and we decided to take the day to enjoy the very best of #Catalan culture and food. We dined at @sergidemeia, a restaurant that is mixing modern techniques with historic #catalan dishes (some from the 16th century 😱) such as the #porktrotter #meatballs with #shrimp and the fritters with #cremecatalan we enjoyed. We also sailed the #Mediterranean today with the new programs from @airbnb experiences! It was a total blast- swipe through to watch Brian being a weirdo on the #boat. Finally, we got our #churros and #chocolate fix from #xurreriaSanRoman, where the owner who is original from Madrid claims that no one in Barcelona gets his vision because they don't appreciate the subtleties of good churros 😂😂😂- well, we appreciated them!!! Totally fantastic! Barcelona is such a wonderful city- awesome people who are proud of their culture and food and know a great time 🙏🙏🙏 Can't wait to come back! #queenseats #eatbarcelona #queenseatshoneymoon #visitbarcelona #barcelonafoodie #barcelonafoodcrawl #eatbarcelona @visitbarcelona (at Barcelona, Spain)

Life tastes better with a pinch of #pintxos 👍 ( a copious amounts of #wine 🍷 to go along with all the #tapas and new friends👍). We had a killer time today on the #picoteo #foodcrawl with our new friends from @foodlovertour here in #barcelona! Without giving away too many of their secrets, we dined on #pintxos (small bites on bread), ate in an 100+ year old bar, ate in one of the most beloved tapas bars from the #santantoni market which is still under construction, tried one of the new breweries here in #barcelona, and finished off with desserts including an amazing, in season #figtart along with pouring copious amounts of #vino, using a #porron, straight into our bodies like Ashley does in this video 😂😂😂 not only did we get a drink and more than a few bites to eat in each spot but our fearless leader Christina of @foodlovertour was there not only with the food but the history behind it. Of course, here at @queenseats, we know that history is food and food is history; everything tells a story and #catalan food does that more than most. It's a story of strife and independence- one of struggle and joy in community. Truly a beautiful thing- hit them up for a great meal and a great time!! We even ended up extended our crawl by two or three spots with our new friends because we were having such a good time. #queenseats #queenseatshoneymoon #barcelona #spain #poblesec #santantoni #larambla #eatbarcelona #barcelonaeats #visitbarcelona #barcelonafoodcrawl #barcelonafoodie @visitbarcelona (at Barcelona, Spain)

Everest might be tall but #Barcelona is the tapa the world 🌎 🇪🇸 Barcelona is an amazingly beautiful city full of #Gaudi modernisme (art nouveau) architecture and rich history, but let's be real y'all, we are here to do all that for sure but we are also here to eat! Barcelona, like most of Spain, is a culinary dream! Passion describes everything about the food here; and we dug right in. We enjoyed a late lunch of #manchego, #chorizo, #catalan #truffleham, and #tortilla from the easily missed but seriously classic @labodegueta- you can't go wrong with cured meats and cheese plus 2 euro #wine and a little #tortasantiago, or almond cake, and this place does it better than most. We took a break from eating to visit #lasagradafamilia, Gaudi's unfinished church, and it was awe inspiring- so beautiful and so imposing 😍 Usually, we aren't church goers, but as they said on #parksandrec, they know how to build an edifice. Even though we aren't in Galicia, we heard of a killer #gallego place serving #pulpo (octopus) and it didn't let down- perfectly spiced pieces of 🐙 cooked so they were soft and delicious from @o_meu_lar_ ! Finally, it is really summer here in #barcelona, so, of course after the 7 or so miles of walking this city, we had to stop for #horchata from a local legend @sirventbarcelona, and it did wonders- refreshingly cold and served up it up old school. We can already tell that Barcelona is going to be dangerous for our waist lines 😂 everything here is so good and that definitely has to do with the passion people put into making everything taste good- it's like there's a grandma in every kitchen. #visitbarcelona #queenseatshoneymoon #queenseats #barcelonaeats #eatbarcelona #barcelonafoodie #tapas #barcelonafoodcrawl (at Barcelona, Spain)

When the couscous be dropping, you know it's (mo)roccan! Today's our last day in #paris and it's so bittersweet; we have loved everything about this city from the delicious food to the cheap and incredible wine to the beautiful architecture and bodega cats 🐱😂 We had to do #paris right on our last day (and break up all that heavy food and cafe lounging). We started with the best #Moroccan food we ever ever had, #beef #tangine and a #couscous royale (with kabobs and sausage ) from #lepetitbleu in #monmarte where shit was literally dropping because we were eating on the angle of the hill of Montmartre 😂 We also indulged in a market version of the #jambonbuerre (ham and cheese sandwich) with the insanely packed version from @chezalainmiammiam at the @marchedesinfantesrouge in the 3rd. It was an hour plus in line but so worth it; don't be intimated by the chef- when you see the amount of #cheese he puts on with your #jambonblanc you know he's a good guy 😂 Finally, we told our friends over at #wegowalkingtours that we needed to have an #offal feast before we left #Paris and they sent us to @amarante_restaurant in the 12th; we indulged in #foiegras, #veal #brains, #duck, and #sweetbreads cooked simply and perfectly (75% butter by our estimate) and huge portions. It was the best meal we had in #paris. I'm so in love with this place, but tomorrow is a new day and we are on to my favorite country, Spain! See you tomorrow, @barcelona_turisme_! #queenseats #queenseatshoneymoon #eatparis #pariseats #parisfoodcrawl #parisfood #parisfoodie #queenseatsallofparis (at Paris, France)

From-age to age, the #cheese world is alive and well and so is the 🧀 Walking into so many old school #French cheese shops, butcher shops, fish mongers, pastry and bread shops today was like a dream 😍 I am starting to think that everything is just exceptional here, from start to finish. Today's amazing #market #foodcrawl cemented that for us, we went out with out new friends at @sightseekersdelight Who showed us around the different speciality shops of Paris, taught us what to buy and how to buy it (we wanted to buy everything) and then we all sat down in a local cafe to eat our finds and have the kitchen whip up things we had gathered. My favorite new French concept is prepared at home, meaning that the kitchen is cooking what they would cook at home for family or things that have gathered from family. For example, cherries are in season here in France, so for dessert, the cafe prepared #cherry #clafouti or an eggy custardy like cherry cake, the cherry were picked by our waitress from their family farm and cooked just as much for them as the cafe. It was just simply divine. From cheese to fish to cured meats to BREADS 😍 and chocolate, we want to really thank Karen from @sightseekersdelight For showing us a #paris we probably couldn't have pulled off ourselves. Of course we wouldn't want to give away the secret places our friends over at @sightseekersdelight have cultivated and set up for their food crawls over their years of doing this work in the #latinquarter of #paris 😜 but this is a special experience in Paris that you may not want to miss so hit them up! #queenseatshoneymoon #sightseekersdelight #parisfoodie #eatparis #eaterparis #pariseats (at Latin Quarter, Paris)

Starting with a #french cone-cation 🍦Of course, we are dying in #France, there's so much to eat and so little time. In the afternoon, we tried to walk as much of the #seine as possible and stopped on #illsaintlouis at @berthillon_officiel for their famous #icecream- we got #chocolate and #saltedcaramel after debating for at least 20 minutes, the flavor puts NYC ice cream to shame. We had the most amazing dining experience at @pierre_sang for dinner, the concept is a wonderful fusion of French and Asian flavors but throughout the 6 course, €39 dinner, you aren't told what you are eating and have to guess after eat course (Ashley won, of course 😭). Finally, we settled into our gorgeous @airbnb with 4 balconies 😱 in the #9tharrondissement and sipped on the #rosé 🍷 our host left for us while watching a thunderstorm roll in. Paris, you smell like bread, cheese, and wine and we already are obsessed with you 😍 #queenseats #queenseatshoneymoon #parisfoodcrawl #eatparis #pariseats #parisfoodie #nothingsaysiloveyoulikefromage #queenseatsallofparis (at Berthillon)

#Curry up and eat so we can sit and #chaat 👌 Today was our last day in #London 🇬🇧 but we filled it with all the eats 🔥🔥🔥 After being a little disappointed with #bricklane, we enjoyed top notch #indian food with a spread of curries and #Hakka (indo-chinese) specials including our favorite #Samosachaat from @rotichai, for dinner we dug into some traditional #pub fare of #steak and #vension #meatpies 😍😍😍 from @themayflowerpub (built on the docks near the #mayflower in 1620 😱), and we walked around the city to burn off all the calories while watching the press scramble to prepare for tomorrow's election here in the U.K., it's a crazy time to be here to witness this but while everyone is voting tomorrow, we will be on the @eurostar headed to #paris 😍🚄@paris_tourisme Thanks London for the history and delicious foods 😘 #queenseatshoneymoon #queenseats #GodSaveTheQueensEats #visitlondon #londonfoodcrawl #londoneats #eatinglondon #londonfoodie (at ROTI CHAI Street Kitchen & Dining Room)

Hit me with your best pot (of tea ☕️). We seriously needed a couple pots of tea after this morning's torrential downpour here in #London, apparently it rains a lot here? 😂🌧This is the #afternoontea from @beasofbloomsbury, a nice casual high #tea option with super yummy and abundant food 😋, the view from St. Paul's Cathedral and paying our respects the memorial for the victims of the recent terror act at Monument on our @freetoursbyfoot led by a wonderful guide Sinead who both trekked us through pouring rain and spent 10 years in #Queens #smallworld 🌐, insane #Turkish food at @liman_london where the mixed grill is full of perfectly cooked lamb and therefore is the greatest thing ever, and finally we found Brian his craft UK beers at the @craftbeerco #pub here in #London #England #UK. There's so much to do in London but thankfully it's a walking city so it's easy to cover a lot of it by foot and even with the solemn feeling in city due to recent events, the resilience of Londoners inspires these New Yorkers 💪❤️ #queenseats #queenseatshoneymoon #GodSaveTheQueensEats #London #londoneats #eatinglondon #londonfoodie (at Bea's of Bloomsbury)

Juicing for the journey 💪 We are off today on our (pre-wedding #thanksmedschool) honeymoon in #London, #Paris, #Barcelona, and #Zurich 😍 Rather than just pretend we are still here and post Queens stuff, we hope you don't mind if we bring you all along with us for the trip 😊 But first, need to get our strength up to carry these backpack with some #GreenJuice, Essential Elements and Raw Mocha Latte, from @cooldownjuice in #sunnysideny #queens #nyc and they are SO good, perfect for fueling up before our @delta flight to #Zurich! Also much thanks to @thestonework for these cool #QueensEats patches for our backpacks!! 😘 #queenseats #queenseatshoneymoon (at Cooldown Juice)
