Acqua e Farina

by Andrew Risch

Nov 18, 2018

Last weekend, a friend and I went to get pizza at a relatively new pizza place in the heart of Newtown. Acqua e Farina is a Neapolitan-style pizza place and serves a wide range of delicious creations.

The place was filled to the brim when we arrived, but, luckily, my friend knew a waitress and got us seated almost immediately.

The inside of the quaint little restaurant has authentic Italian photographs as well as décor all around the dining room. The centerpiece was the open kitchen, where you can see the food cooked as well as the beautiful clay oven.

I ordered a soup to start, and then we ordered meatballs stuffed with ricotta as an appetizer, which were great. After that, we ordered a couple specialty pizzas and shared them — of course, leaving some for a midnight snack.

My only complaint is that the parking lot was so small I had to do a six-point turn just to back out. Other than that, we had a great time and great food, and you can’t really ask for more than that!

Although a destination’s terrain, cuisine and cultural attributes always draw travelers in, it is often the people they meet that make the trip an enduring memory rather than a box to be checked off. It’s a job responsibility that people working around the Plose and adjoining town of Brixen (in Italy’s Trentino-Alto Adige region) take seriously.

Mindfulness City in Kingdom of Bhutan Unveiled as Future Economic Hub

In front of an audience of 30,000 Kingdom of Bhutan residents and officials, His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck presented his vision for a new economic hub in Bhutan. Located between India to the south and China to the north, Bhutan is one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. Bhutan came late to global tourism. It opened its borders to international visitors in 1974 and, while tourism definitely increased, residents are enduring “light” rush-hour traffic in Thimphu, its capital city, as the only Asian capital without traffic lights.
