Sherri Eisenberg is a travel and food writer, editor, and author. A former editor at Travel Holiday, Brides, and Travel and Leisure magazines, she has written for numerous other magazines (including Condé Nast Traveler, and In Style) and newspapers (including The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, and The Baltimore Sun). She is also the author of The Food Lovers' Guide to Brooklyn. Eisenberg lives in Manhattan and, no matter where she is in the world, she's convinced the food is better in her hometown of New York City—except for, maybe, in Paris. That she'll concede. Fran Golden is a well-known and award-winning travel writer. She is chief contributor for the cruise magazine, Porthole, and a contributing writer for Virtuoso Life magazine. Former travel editor of the Boston Herald, and creator of USA Today's Experience Cruise website, she writes regularly for newspapers, magazines and websites such as Bloomberg, the Los Angeles Times, Condé Nast Traveler, and the UK's World of Cruising. She is author or co-author of several travel books including Frommer's EasyGuide to River Cruising and has written extensively about Alaska since 1998. Fran is married to fellow cruise writer David Molyneaux, and when they are not at sea they make their home in Cleveland.
