Paradise Indian Cuisine: Herndon’s Passage to Indian Fare

December 10, 2013 11:25 am

Paradise Indian Cuisine offers what might be the best lunchtime buffet in Herndon for a mere $10. Constantly restocked with fresh food, you choose from a wide selection of authentic, flavorful options that will always be there because the buffet doesn’t change. If you opt out of the buffet or dine for dinner instead, Paradise offers a big menu with plenty of vegetarian options along with a decent selection of meats. The portions are so large that you’ll have enough for next day’s lunch. Paradise specializes in biryani, which are tender meats marinated in exotic spices and then mixed with green peppers, ginger, and onion, added to perfectly seasoned Basmati rice, and finally steamed together. There’s often a short wait as it gets busy, especially during lunchtime. The atmosphere is relaxed with its dim lighting and televisions that play Bollywood music videos.

Five of the World’s Most Unusual Hotels

December 6, 2013 12:00 pm

Make your vacation a little more interesting by staying in one of these five unusual and unique hotels. We bet you've never stayed in any hotel like these! 

La Balade des Gnomes
Relive your childhood by staying in a fairy tale-inspired hotel in Durbuy, Belgium. La Balade des Gnomes features ten rooms, each inspired by myths and fairy tales. Each room is a completely unique and different experience. Bunk with a troll in a cave-like room, or sleep in a Trojan Horse. In the morning, enjoy a delicious breakfast full of local specialties. 

Treehotel
Looking to connect with the great outdoors? Stay at the Treehotel in Harads, Sweden, in one of the five tree houses built in the middle of nature. You'll sleep among the tree tops and take in the serenity of nature. Each tree house is unique, with names like The Cabin, Bird's Nest, and UFO. 

Propeller Island City Lodge
Located in Berlin, Germany, this hotel has something different in store for every guest. Each of the 30 rooms is unique in its own way. One room may appear normal — if you were standing on your head! Another room features a king bed cut in half by a guillotine. There is even a room that uses coffins as beds.

Hotel de Glace
Do you love the cold? Stay in a hotel made entirely of ice just outside of Quebec City in Canada. Hotel de Glace is only open in the winter, when each room is constructed from ice. Even though the hotel may be cold, you'll still be warm with fireplaces and comfy blankets. You don't have to stay the night to enjoy the hotel, you can stop by the popular ice bar for a drink or even get married in the wedding chapel.

Featherbed Railroad
You don't need to travel outside of the United States to find an unusual hotel. On the shore of Clear Lake in Northern California, you will find this charming bed and breakfast. Each room is made out of an old railroad car. Each antique caboose has a different theme, like the Orient Express and Casablanca.
