Carnival of Cities Comes Home to the Mamas
By MountainMama | January 28, 2008
Reading CajunMama’s dispatches from New Orleans, Louisiana, has been such fun over the past few days. (Let the good times roll, Cajun!)
Now it’s time to get the skinny on a number of other cities around the world, since TravelingMamas.com is proudly hosting Home Turf Media’s Carnival of Cities this week.
Without further ado, we suggest you check out the following blog posts for inspiration in planning your next urban trip (or just enjoy the armchair travels across the globe):
The Big Apple wins the popularity contest, with three bloggers chiming in about New York City. SarahSpy dishes on her favorite spots to eat brunch in Manhattan and Brooklyn. I’m salivating just reading some of the menu options.
Meanwhile, GrrlScientist captured some evocative images of New York City enveloped in clouds after a rainstorm earlier this month. And the newly minted Gotham-ite at Only in the Apple tells us how to recognize other New York neophytes and claims that some New York stereotypes are true.
The Traveling Mum relates her day of sightseeing in Ponce, Puerto Rico. Not only were her children in tow, but so was her father, who grew up in the area and remembers walking to the Cathedral every Sunday as a child. The Caribbean island is also the subject of Visit the Coqui, where you can get the scoop on the first-ever PGA tournament on Puerto Rico, scheduled for March.
Karen at Europe a la Carte shares the insider’s scoop on Stirling, Scotland, where she lived for 18 years.
The DC Traveler recaps his Monument Monday posts. If you’re heading to the U.S. capital, and need a primer on the important monuments to visit, as well as some lesser-known sites, check out these chock-full-of-info articles and pretty images.
April at Southern Byways links to dozens of cities in the U.S. South that make great destinations for family travel, from Williamsburg, Va. to San Antonio, Texas.
The ladies at Go Girlfriend explain how Amsterdam officials are cracking down on some of the city’s most alluring attractions. (Hey, for some visitors — not this angelic Mama).
Finally, learn why you should buy a villa in sunny Cyprus, at the Cyprus Informer. And enter to win a cookbook penned by Tom Douglas, Seattle restaurateur extraordinaire, at The Seattle Traveler.
The Carnival of Cities is always looking for bloggers to host the weekly carnival. Or, if you’d like to submit a post for the next edition, click here.
Happy travels!

Hmmm…that best brunches in Brooklyn and Manhattan gave me an idea for a future blog post. Keep your eyes peeled, Mamas!

Thanks for including us! I got so busy I haven’t had time yet to read these other posts, but I will!
I’m looking forward to learning about these cyprus villas…maybe the post will explain how I can afford one?
