1. Hertz Car Rental
I will never rent from Hertz. Ever. Again.
First off, what is the point of being Club Gold of whatever - I thought it was to get your car super fast when you arrive - ticket with spot number and keys. Well no, I have waited every time - 45 min once…More »
2. American Jazz Museum
Kansas City, MO 64108
(816) 474-8463
Categories:
Performing Arts,
Museums,
Nightlife
Neighbourhood: 18th & Vine
A GREAT small museum!
Their exhibits are gorgeous - and outline a variety of jazz related figures and the historical development of the music. While the main museum exhibits require admission there is a free visitor center display in the lobby, a nice…More »
3. NASA Johnson Space Center
WHOA - i cannot believe this has 2 poor reviews!! This place is amazing!
First off - this place is not just for nerds or smart kids. Take the audio tour! And the tram tour - it explains everything. If your kids are very young give them the KIDS audio…More »
4. Negro Leagues Baseball Museum
This very small museum within the main American Jazz Museum building is fantastic. The museum is set up chronologically and takes you through the history of all things baseball. The exhibits are well thought out and contain SO MANY interesting facts.…More »
5. Hotel ZaZa
This place COULD easily be 5 stars.....
It has:
A great restaurant /lounge
Funky cool hip decor
Lovely, spacious rooms
Finally a place that puts a closet in the bathroom - that makes sense believe it or not.
A mini bar that doesn't just have snacks you…More »
6. Emily Morgan Hotel
Of the 3 hotels bordering the Alamo - this is supposed to be the nicest. And it is by far the most expensive.
While the inside lobby area and rooms are nicer than the Menger and Crockett - that is all that is better. The food was ok, no free…More »
7. Battleship New Jersey
Beautiful views, great staff and FANTASTIC audio tour....
(visiting the Battleship NJ marked my return to the motherland - my birthplace is New Jersey - in more than 10 years)
8. Los Angeles Police Museum
This place is sooo cool!
This small building may make you think that the Museum is going to be super cheesy but it is far from it. The LAPD Museum exhibits include really cool artifacts and lots of interesting displays. Including: 100 year old…More »
9. Palermo Ristorante Italiano
Los Angeles, CA 90027
(323) 663-1178
eh totally mediocre Italian with a horrific wait for a table.
Good portion sizes and wine while you wait.
Maybe I need pizza next time....
10. Boudro's On the River Walk
Definitely one of the better places on the Riverwalk - but still not fabulous.
The food is seafood, steaks and dishes with a Mexican flair. I enjoyed my Big Tail, Little Tails dish (small lobster tail and 3 jumbo shrimp) however, it was covered in…More »
11. Roman Cucina
Not bad!
Odd decor inside but cute. The have a little outdoor patio in front. The food was very good - their pesto was great! The caprese salad was very garlic-y but I enjoyed everything from the cute waiters to the warm bread.
Corkage is $10. But…More »
12. Ayres Hotel & Suites
I was about to give this hotel 5 stars - I mean free parking, free AWESOME breakfast, free wifi and a very clean spacious rooms. It's perfect!
HOWEVER, at 7am I was scared out of my mind and sleep - by the airplanes taking off... its a little too…More »
13. Las Brisas Restaurant
Nice outdoor seating but very limited menu. If you want diverse food - sit inside in the dining room.
The sea bass ceviche is very good!
14. Pennsylvania Convention Center
This place is ENORMOUS - too big. I was exhausted just finding the session rooms from the exhibit hall area. And Philly is a Union city with expensive labor costs for vendors - FYI. Very nice set up though and rooms were in great shape, nice…More »
15. Cheeseburger in Paradise
Honolulu, HI 96815
(808) 941-2400
Frankly it's not that bad. It's like a tourist version of In N Out's burgers.
The most annoying thing about this place is the CONSTANT attempts at upselling - every other word on the menu and from your waiter.
16. Bravo Restaurant
There is NOTHING to eat near the USS Arizona Memorial - this place isn't far.
They have good lunch specials to choose from- the food is ok/decent. The garlic bread balls they bring to the table are the best thing we ate!
17. Yard House
Honolulu, HI 96815

Categories:
American (New),

Neighbourhood: Waikiki
I have determined that my favorite chain is The Yard House.
Every time I have been to one the food has been great. AND NOT FRIED. That is what is so gross about Fridays and Applebees and all that nasty - the menus are bad and the only thing that…More »

BREAKFAST ONLY REVIEW
I had to eat breakfast here and I had a 15% off coupon.
It was the grossest eggs, bacon and potatoes I have ever had.
Even the juice tasted like frozen concentrate.
Boo.
$9 down the toilet.
They do take out and advertise a decent…More »
19. Hula Dog Hawaiian Style Hot Dogs
Interesting... ingenious.....not a good mix for IBS.
But totally intriguing - I can't wait to try that delicious bread again and more of those cool relish flavors!! The Banana Relish is sooo good.
20. Aqua Waikiki Wave
Compared to the other Aquas I have stayed in in Honolulu this one SUCKED.
Very confusing to park the first time/when you arrive. No elevator from parking garage to rooms - unless you are escorted in the service elevator. $20 each night to park - avg…More »
21. El Vez
Very cool place - LOUD. With a great big round bar in the middle.
So they are known for their guacamole - 4 or 5 kinds to try. And I guess if you are known for guac you can charge $13-$21 for it AND if you place it in a huge bowl that is actually…More »
22. Best Western Plus Coconut Waikiki Hotel
I struggled between 4 or 5 stars. But honestly there was nothing wrong with this place at all. For the DEAL that I got online $90 a night - a brand new hotel (everything redone in June) it was awesome.
Nice modern lobby, small room but ideally set up…More »

Saturday night at 7:30pm I am tasked with arranging a dinner for 11 people.
My third try landed me here and I successfully made a reservation for 8:45. Our table was lovely and in the window. The place is huge with a nice long bar when you walk in.

24. Vintage Wine Bar
Philadelphia, PA 19176
(215) 922-3095
A really really cute wine bar. Very busy on the weekends, so make sure you plan to eat there if you want a seat. They won't seat drinkers only.
I would love to go back and try more of the wines and snacks.
25. APO Bar + Lounge - CLOSED
Philadelphia, PA 19107
(215) 735-7500
Category:
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Market East, Avenue of the Arts South
Nice downstairs bar area. Upstairs is the lounge, music and outdoor patio.
The music is WAY too loud downstairs to talk to your friends and of course drinks are overpriced. Good service and wine selection though. Oh and for some reason Friday night…More »

Neighbourhood: Rittenhouse Square
This was a great place for our large group of 12!
We had a lot of fun and the dishes were all so unique. Also, their set menu for groups is AWESOME - an appetizer, main dish and dessert for $30 a person. That is a STEAL considering the entrees are…More »

um yeah. I work here.
But that doesn't mean I fit in here.

This place has so much potential - too bad it only LOOKS nice.
The lobby is very cool and the rooms are all designed mod - in red, green, gray, black and white. The room was very nice.
Too bad this place:
Advertises free Internet. The wifi never worked.…More »

Make sure you take time to look in the Museum of Westward expansion below - there is tons of information and lots to look at. I found the fan-shape layout a bit confusing but if you look UP then the…More »

Pros:
The very cool Sleep CD, eye mask, linen spray, ear plugs, etc - they give you.
Spacious rooms with fridge and extra sink
Self park OR Valet
SUPER close to Arch and Courthouse - an easy walk
Food wasn't too bad
Cons:

33. Stinson Municipal Airport
FREE fast WiFi
Small place with a few gates - means in and out quick. 20 min from downtown. A couple food options and cool golf gift shop. Not bad San Antonio, not bad at all.

PROS:
Booking online - super easy, can log in and my work credit card is saved. You get the discount for roundtrip booking and the tip covered no worries while in the van about cash or paying, etc.

35. Dinosaur Park-Museum George S Eccles
This place is A little boy's dream come true!!
Dinosaurs all over outside and a really NON cheesy Museum full of facts.
Definitely take the kiddies here.
36. Schilo's Delicatessen
This place was packed on a Tuesday for lunch. It's seat yourself and has great prices - very cheap!
Lots of German food and sandwiches. My potato pancakes were fantastic! Can't wait to go back for Thursday chicken and dumpling day.

For $160 I got:
A king sized bed in a nice room
A hotel VERY near the beach
A hotel walking distance to the warf and State St.
Free WiFi
Free breakfast
Free parking
I'll be back!
NOTE ON WHY NOT 5 STARS:
All the rooms were redone in early July so every room…More »
38. Pane & Vino - CLOSED
This place is horrific. First off the menu only lists wine types "Chardonnay" "pinot grigio" and so on - no winery name, year, etc. That is a bad sign.
The place itself is very cute and the prices are good ($7-$9) but I had the worst glass of wine I…More »
39. Beehive House the
Salt Lake City, UT 84150
(801) 240-2671
A nice short tour of Brigham Young's home.
This tour is about 20 minutes and by 2 sisters on their missionary - just like Temple Square BUT this tour I found to be MUCH less preachy and generally more informative.
The tour is free, as most LDS…More »

So Roy's was good but I wanted it to be better.
