1. French Market
New Orleans, LA 70116
(504) 522-2621
Categories:
Used, Vintage & Consignment,
Farmers Market,
Arts & Crafts
This is like a big flea market/art fair/farmer's market. It's not someplace I'd spend a lot of time but it was cool to visit. I'm not into the flea market stuff, so I mostly just paid attention to the food (that's usually all I'm paying attention…More »
2. Mütter Museum
Philadelphia, PA 19103
(215) 563-3737
Category:
Museums
Neighbourhoods: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center
This is a pretty cool museum, kind of similar to the Body Worlds exhibits. Totally up my alley. I feel it is a little bit expensive for what it is, but it's definitely a unique. It's pretty quiet (but crowded when I went) inside and there are no…More »
3. Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site
Philadelphia, PA 19130
(215) 236-3300
Category:
Landmarks & Historical Buildings
Neighbourhoods: Fairmount, Francisville
I HIGHLY recommend visiting here if you're ever in Philadelphia. Actually, I recommend it even if you're NOT in Philadelphia. I've taken the day (or two) trip to Philly twice JUST to go to Eastern State Penitentiary and I hate driving with a…More »
4. Audubon Park
What a beautiful park! We only were able to see some parts of it, mainly the jogging trail, as we had signed up for a 5K race that started at the park. It is seriously one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, and certainly the most…More »
5. Waterfire
Going to Waterfire was once on my long list of things to do before I died. Maybe that's kind of silly but it just sounded pretty and romantic and peaceful. I finally went this year for the first time and it is all those things.
Waterfire is fire…More »
6. Shelalara Vineyards & Winery
Definitely leave your expectations of a winery and vineyard at home and go with an open mind. This was a really fun and informative experience. We got a tour (there is no vineyard there, just a production facility) and a tasting. They let us have TWO…More »
7. Doubletree Hotel
I only stayed here for one night in one of the cheaper rooms but everything about the hotel was great. They have a complimentary shuttle to and from the airport. They have a business center with two computers and printers, a fax machine and a…More »
8. Steamboat Natchez
New Orleans, LA 70130
(504) 586-8777
Categories:
Boating,
Boat Charters,
Tours
We had signed up for a lunch-time jazz cruise, minus the lunch. It was relaxing being on the boat, and we bought a couple drinks. The tour guide pointed out some interesting things but my biggest problem was that there was no jazz music. The tour…More »
9. Cape Cod Canal Bike Path
A nice, scenic bike path. It's very flat but it gets a but challenging on windy days! It's 14 miles back and forth and at the end, there is a small beach. The downside us that it's pretty crowded on nice days.
10. The White Elephant
I stayed here during the off-season, toward the end of October. I stayed in one of the cottages which was really nice and cozy. It was very quiet and I never heard anyone else - but that may be due to the time of year I visited.The staff was so…More »
11. Cajun Encounters Tours
I'll admit that I wasn't overly enthusiastic about a swamp tour but I'm up for almost anything so I went along with it. We took a bus that picked us up from the hotel and the driver was very funny and told us a lot of details about the damage by…More »
12. Gold Hill General Store
This is like taking a step back in time. The population of the "town" (I guess it's more like a part of Boulder) is something like 200 and it's complete with a one room school house and this general store. It has all sorts of things, gifts,…More »
13. Celestial Seasonings Tour and Tea Shop
I had a great time here. I loved the tour - our tour guide was incredibly informative and knowledgeable and it was really interesting to hear about their sourcing, storage and production. The peppermint room is awesome and if you have any sinus…More »
14. Capogiro Gelato
Philadelphia, PA 19103
(215) 636-9250
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhoods: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center
I love gelato. You don't see too many gelaterias around where I live so every vacation I go on, the hunt for gelato begins. I have had gelato in just about every city I've visited.
Aside from one I visited at least four times while I was in New…More »
15. Club Quarters Philadelphia
Philadelphia, PA 19103
(215) 282-5000
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Rittenhouse Square, Penn Center
My boyfriend and I stayed here for just one night. I'm giving it 4 stars because of its price, location, staff and some amenities.
The room was quite small but it was perfectly fine for the two of us. It was exceptionally clean (no bed bugs! I did…More »
16. Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse
Boulder, CO 80302
(303) 442-4993
Categories:
Tea Rooms,
Breakfast & Brunch,
Persian/Iranian
I LOVE this place. First, it's gorgeous inside with interesting and beautiful decor. The waitstaff is friendly, the food is good and they have a good selection of tea (and I'm kind of a tea snob). It's a really nice place to go with friends, have…More »
17. Sheraton on the Falls Hotel
I stayed here in July of 2011 for four nights. The hotel was really nice with comfortable beds and a gorgeous room with a view of Niagara Falls from the window. It's in a convenient location to all the tourist attractions including Clifton Hill as…More »
18. La Divina Gelateria

Categories:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,

Went here again just about every day of my most recent trip. My boyfriend suggested we try to find a new place just for the sake of trying something new. I was cranky about it but agreed. We wandered around, looking at various places ... me with…More »

Pricey, yes. But I've yet to encounter gelato that ISN'T pricey.
When I was visiting New Orleans,… Read more »

Breakfast & Brunch
Great breakfast find as we were just wandering around the streets of New Orleans before most people woke up.
We sat at the bar and our server was very friendly and very attentive. The serving sizes are big, our Bellinis were good and the ambiance…More »
20. Mac's Bikes
This was the BEST part of my Niagara Fall's trip. I had emailed someone here a little bit before my trip to inquire about the availability and to reserve bikes good for our size (I'm exceptionally tiny and it's hard to find a bike that is…More »
21. Kaji Aso Studio Institute For the Arts
I have only gone here for their Japanese tea ceremonies and one time for a lecture on haiku. Based on those two things, it definitely gets a 5 star rating from me.
The tea ceremony is fantastic. The grounds are beautiful as it is inside where they…More »
22. Catamount Aerial Adventure Park
This is an adventure park in the woods that is supposedly suitable for ages 7 and up (though I think the younger you are, the better - way more fearless!). There are 11 different courses for different ability levels. You don't need to be…More »
23. Hotel Provincial
This wouldn't be considered a 4-star hotel in general, but I loved it. It does not have anything fancy in it - no coffee maker, fridge or microwave, but it's perfectly fine. If you're staying in the French Quarter, there is absolutely no reason you…More »
