A pizzeria and pastry shop in Redford, Michigan has more than just calzones and cannoli, it’s also home to Italian immigrant Silvio Barile’s Italian American Artistic Museum.

In Montgomery, Alabama, a beautiful house that F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald lived in for just six months between 1931-32 is now a museum. The house was saved from demolition in 1986. In 1999 it became the Scott & Zelda Fitzgerald Museum, which is divided into four main areas covering...
I don’t know if I’m scared to fly, but I certainly hate it, especially when it involves long ass overseas trips. Always remember to take an airline that serves free alcohol or you’ll be sorry. Probably the worst part of traveling is all the time spent waiting in airports due...
To the rest of the world, marzipan is that layer on a wedding cake no one really eats, but try telling that to the Hungarians. Believe it or not, there are two museums devoted to marzipan in Hungary, one being Keszthely and the other being Szentendre. Szentendre’s Marzipan Museum is...
