On a quiet street in Lorentzville, Joburg's best pork is sold behind a sign declaring: "Bienvenidos a la Jamonopolis de Johanesburgo."

I went to the Cosmopolitan -- a beautifully restored historic building in Maboneng -- for a pedicure. I wound up staying the whole afternoon.

A quick review of Rosto, a new restaurant in Linden specializing in spit-roasted, free-range chicken and Italian-inspired street snacks.

Café Patisse recently moved from its industrial location in Wynberg to Emmarentia. No matter where you live in Joburg, these pastries are worth the drive.

The Food Junxion, a chicken tikka restaurant in Ntemi Peliso Street in downtown Johannesburg, is South African street food at its best.

Brixton is one of Joburg's most underrated neighborhoods, but until recently it has been lacking cool hangouts. The new Breezeblock cafe is changing that.

Besides having an amazing name, the Victorian Secret is housed in one of Benoni's most historic buildings and serves amazing pastries.

My review of Glory, a quirky new chicken restaurant on Melville's 7th Street. This restaurant is disorderly but delicious.

Joburg's downtown neighborhood of New Doornfontein is becoming a mecca for art and design lovers. I had a look around Ellis House and loved what I saw.

Sanza Sandile, Yeoville's most formidable chef, is cooking up a (mostly) vegetarian Pan-Afrikan storm at the Yeoville Dinner Club.

Chocoloza, a small shop in 44 Stanley, sells delectable Belgian-style chocolates and and chocolate drinks. You won't find better chocolate in Joburg.

I visited Field Berry Farm, a raspberry farm in Joburg South. The raspberries were great and so was Lungi, the farm's proprietress.
