Also stayed at the beekman which was very shabbos friendly (internal steps/just put a magnet/tape on the door lock slot)Thanks, how was the area? Anything walkable on Shabbos?

Is there a concensus regarding easiest hotels to stay at over shabbos? Anywhere in the city, any chain/ independent ok too. Ideally something more upscale.

Evita is Argentinean. Shallots is a more traditional steakhouse with creative options.

« on: October 29, 2019, 10:58:51 PM »What's the scoop on Evita?Definitely worth trying. Unique Argentinian food, incredibly flavorful meats. We stop there on every trip. Nothing against Shallots, but Evita is a good experience.
Worth trying out or stick to Shallot's?

Planning a trip in April with a toddler, Wednesday-Monday.
In terms of where to stay- we have IHG certs, Radisson points (actually quite a few options in london), and marriott points/nights. Would prefer to stay in the same place.
Stay in GG/Hendon near kosher food? This way we will be close to breakfast and dinner, and can spend most of the day in the city. Points options are lackluster though, would prob stay at the HI express (meh).
Or stay in the city? Lots of nice options, we would be in the center of everything but seems like only Reubens in the vicinity?
Not really interested in selfridges counters etc....
What has worked for most?

Assuming you don't want to fly to the Mediterranean as Greece could work also.
Any thoughts about Nice? Or too much anti semitism?
I don't mind flying to Greece, it's actually on the bucket list but we wouldn't stay in Athens - we would go to another island and that may be too much travel for a short add on.

Looking for somewhere to go in Europe for 3-4 days following a week in LHR. Good kosher food is a requirement.
(Been to CDG, VCE, FCO, AMS). Traveling with kids so nothing jam-packed (ie, not Spain- too many cities to hit so that will be a separate trip)
ETA: Ideally somewhere with less antisemitism. Although I guess that's not really possible now?
