Escorted by her father, the bride
was radiant in her stunning
candlelight designer gown by Nina
Balducci, which featured a fitted

of rosettes at the base of each
shoulder which topped short fitted
sleeves. Additional schiffli lace and
elegant beads flowed from the

Spacious mall, top-rated hotel make
traveling worth the wait while touring

Minneapolis in miniature
What to do, where to eat, how to
shop in Minnesota’s largest city?
The Mall of America is still going
strong-the parking garages are
brimming with cars every weekend.
But downtown offers dazzling
indoor malls like Gaviidae
Commons (Saks, Neiman Marcus,
and 60 other unique shops)
connected by skyways which are
tourist attractions in themselves.
You can walk for miles without
going outside, a blessing during
extreme weather. Most of the
city’s best restaurants are also
located in the malls. For example,
Godfellow’s (612-332-4800), an
attractive eatery offering regional
American cuisine, calls the Nicollet
Mall home. Azur (612-342-2500),
with its French Mediterranean
menu, is in nearby Gariidae
Commons. Be sure to visit the
new Frank Gehry-designed Frederick
R. Weisman Art Museum at the
University of Minnesota—a work of
art housing works of art-as well as
the Walker Art Center/ Sculpture
Garden. For more ideas and a
visitors guide, contact the Greater
Minneapolis Convention and
Visitors Center, and ask for its
Visitor Value discount card. Write

Best beds
Which is the best hotel chain in
the U.S.? A major, private
consumer agency that publishes a
widely-read magazine did an
exhaustive survey recently and
determined that the Ritz Carlton
chain was number one. Survey
respondents were asked to rate
cleanliness, check-in procedures,
room service, and other basic
criteria.
Scotch hits 500
This is the 500th birthday of
“are you ready?” Scotch Whiskey.
Half a millenium ago, it seems,
Scotland’s King James IV issued an
order to Friar Jon Cor to distill a
spirit comprised of just three
ingredients: barley, yeast, and pure
Highland water. Its Celtic name
was visque-bretha, or “water of
life,” which we have distilled, if
you will, into the word “whisky.”
Anyway, it’s all a jolly good
excuse to visit Scotland this year
and explore the world’s only Malt
Whiskey Trail, a 70-mile
signposted route in the dramatic
eastern highlands of Scotland. For

Venice dining
Venice never disappoints: if
you’ve never visited and have
impossibly high expectations,
Venice will fulfill them. If this is
your third or fourth visit, you’ll
find that nothing has changed. Best
time to go is October, although
winter can be very romantic.
Restaurant suggestions include Da
Ivo (S. Marco, 1809, telephone 52-
85-004), where the small, but
delicious menu is written on a
blackboard, and the famous
Cipriani, where the SSO luncheon
buffet is expensive, but includes
all-you-can-eat lobster and other
seafood specialties, plus the chance
to see the rich and famous at play
around the enormous swimming
pool.
Time machine
What’s it really like to ride on
the famed Venice and Paris? When
the original Orient Express, the
dream project of the Belgian
Georges Nagelmackers, made its
maiden trip in 1883, it was nothing
less than the supersonic Concorde
of its day. The luxurious Pullman
carriages with their tapestries,
velvet curtains, hot and cold
running water, and other
innovations were the talk of Europe
and heads turned whenever the train
passed. Not much has changed.
Today, the Concorde analogy is
still valid. Whenever the blue and
gold carriages pass during the 38-
hour journey, people stop what
they’re doing and hoist their kids
for a better view. Inside, it’s very
much like a working museum on
rails, with the character of the
original carefully preserved.
Example: they still heat water for
your in-compartment sink with a
woodbuming stove. Everything is
up to date in the dining and bar
cars; however, each is a
masterwork of crystal, velvet and
fine woodwork, and the quality of
the cuisine is superb. Your travel
agent can provide you with an
enticing brochure and help you
relive this golden age.
Drug warning
Here’s something not many
people know: it’s illegal to bring
even prescription drugs into the
U.S. if acquired elsewhere,

Pack this little book
A nice little book called, simple,
“Packing,” has just been published
by Knopf ($12.50), in conjunction
with Chic Simple, a New York
design firm. Beautifully
photographed, this hardcover
pocket-sized “how-to” tries to
reduce packing to its bare
essentials. Among the tips:
•Pack your small camera, film,
personal stereo, or travel alarm into
your shoes for added protection.
•The best way to pack less is to
buy a smaller suitcase.
•You should be able to carry
your suitcase at least half a mile.
•To keep cosmetics from
melting when traveling, refrigerate
them in the summer months so
they’re not already soft when you
head out
•The rally hard-and-fast rule is to
take whatever it is you need to be
yourself.
