My fam and I enjoyed some fantastic meals during our visit to Chincoteague Island, VA in early August ‘16.

“My mother is Riki Opolski, the famous Israeli,” said Adam Opolski when we met him in the streamlined and sparkling spa on the ground floor of Tel Aviv’s Sheraton Hotel. “She always worked in hotels so I knew them from the time I was born.”
