A golden find
“We recently stayed at the Holbrooke Hotel in Grass Valley. It was built in 1850 to accommodate the Gold Rushers. It has been totally refurbished and is quite lovely. This is a very nice departure from the norm.”
Holbrooke Hotel, 212 W. Main St., Grass Valley 95945; (530) 273-1353, www.holbrooke.com. Doubles from $90.

Virtual pub crawl
“Be sure to check out Fancyapint.com. It is the best reference for pubs in the United Kingdom. It not only has a map of pubs based on several criteria, but it also offers reviews and links to pub websites. There is even a PDA version of the lists. It’s worth a look.” [Ye Olde White Bear, London, above]
