The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford recently underwent a £60 million rebuild. The new museum has a much more open feel, and to top it all off they?ve added a restaurant in a glass box on the roof, so we had to visit.

It is very intimate and, dare I say it, a bit...

I could either call up a female friend or do another solo journey to somewhere a bit far away?explore a little?you know? And then I remembered that the New Otani Hotel was hosting a winter crab buffet until Feb. 28th. So, I made a call to book a table by the window and...
