Dear Readers,
*FOOD & WINE ALERT:
I'm including the message below for anyone traveling to Paris, because this is an incredible offer. Wendy Lyn, a woman I recently met but already consider a good friend, is in the know and knows all the right food people in Paris. If you're traveling to our City of Light, she's offering a great deal that will enrich your experience as well as reduce travel stress, whether Paris is a city you know--or if it's your first visit. These days, our time is so fragmented, and we're bombarded with too much information. Expectations are high to create the journey we're craving, and delicious food and wine are on top of our lists for trips to France. Who likes paying good money for a meal that's so-so anyway? To give you an idea: Wendy knew the hot new good restaurants in my neighborhood, when I was clueless.
Another idea: If you live in Paris--or France--treat yourself to a mini-vacation and let Wendy plan a fun day or a romantic weekend for you and your spouse. Money well spent as far as I'm concerned.

Paris for Foodies on a Budget - Summer Special: Culinary Insider Wendy Lyn Directs Travelers to the Best Food and Wine Addresses in the City
Looking for the hottest bistros that won’t break the bank or a Michelin-starred restaurant truly worth the splurge? Would like to know where to find the best local wine bar? Want to learn more about French food and wine during a food tour and tasting? Craving treats from neighborhood bakeries, chocolate shops and patisseries but don’t have the time to sort through the amount of available choices? Wendy Lyn gets you there with a special $150 summer rate.
PARIS, FRANCE, (May 22, 2009) – If you are planning a trip to Paris this June or July and want to eat and drink well on a budget, look no further than culinary expert Wendy Lyn (www.wendy-lyn.com). She knows the food culture of France inside and out; with an enviable network of insider contacts and local knowledge that make her the one-stop culinary resource.
Since the available information on Paris can be overwhelming, booking Wendy’s services are not only affordable but are invaluable. She maximizes travelers’ time by offering smart options on where to eat, regardless of budget and gives clients authoritative “in-the-know” information before they arrive.
“Travelers these days are short on time and expect value for their money,” says Wendy Lyn. “During June and July, I am offering a special rate of $150 to create a personalized suggestion list of where to go and what to do that won’t break the bank or they can join me on a foodie walkabout for shopping and tastings.”
A recent itinerary for a chef from New York City, who wanted to explore Paris on her own, included a list of where to find incredible bakeries, outdoor markets, chocolate “Kelly” bags and the addresses where top chefs shop for specific ingredients, cookbooks and kitchen gadgets.
Just last week, a foodie couple from San Francisco told Wendy they spent days searching the internet and guide books for restaurant suggestions, but when they arrived they realized the choices didn’t quite meet their expectations or budget. Wendy not only pointed them to her personal hot list of bistros serving market fresh menus for 30e or less, she go booked them into a beautiful Michelin-starred restaurant for a special 90e lunch. They sent her daily e-mails, “Feeling like a local in such a big city”, “The food is fabulous” and “Who knew Paris could be affordable? We could never pay prices like this in San Francisco!”
On a brief stopover, a journalist wanted to learn more about French food and wine, so Wendy took him on a 2-hour walk through her favorite neighborhood to taste the best bread, cheese, pastries, wine and chocolate. Along the way she taught him basic food vocabulary, shared insider tips for ordering meals and how to spot great value wine lists.
Wendy Lyn served as a Public Relations-Media Advisor for Chef Charlie Trotter, the Alain Ducasse Groupe USA, chocolate-maker Jacques Torres, The South Beach Food & Wine Festival, and the inaugural launch of the red Michelin Guide New York City 2006. Luxe City Guides Paris 2009 lists her as “the go-to gal for all things culinary” and Food Arts Magazine recently named Wendy as one of the top culinary specialists in France.
