I created A Travel for Taste on the premise that travel and food bring people together and promote cross-cultural understanding. Toward the same end, I support all those working for equality to eliminate the institutionalized racism experienced by black citizens in the USA. I see you and hear you. I am with you. This is a pivotal time in history. What we do now sets the tone for our future. Let us listen to one another and come to understand each other as human beings.

Munich's Egyptian Museum opened in 2013 and houses a large collection of Egyptian artifacts: mummies, ceramic, faience, hieroglyphs, steles and figurines. Located in the museum quarter, it's built underground and features modern displays of ancient relics.
Munich's Blutenburg Castle has a long, rich history, but today's iteration is definitely worth a visit. It houses the International Youth Museum, possesses a masterpiece of a gothic chapel, and is a wonderful place to catch some rays or grab a cake and coffee.
Munich's Tollwood festivals, whether summer or winter, are a great place to celebrate multi-cultural food, art and music. The summer fest is held near the Olympics grounds; the winter fest is right on the Oktoberfest spot. Entry is free for most of the fest attractions.
More or less unique to Munich, at least in Germany, the Föhn is a weather phenomenon created by hot, dry wind coming off the north side of the Alps. It consists of unseasonably warm, sunny weather in winter. A perfect day for seeking out off-the-beaten-path sights in the Bavarian capital.
