Ithaca was one of my first stops on my cross country road trip last year, affectionately known as The Blaze of Glory 2007.  I knew if I was going to stop in Ithaca, I had to go to Moosewood.  Now, I didn't actually eat their supposedly scrumptious…More »

Lost Dog Cafe was our first dinner destination of our cross country road trip.  It also sparked my interested in seared tuna sandwiches.  That's what I ate here, in addition to some tasty fries and a cold beer.  Dinner for two, with beers, our bill…More »

Ok, I didn't actually view Niagara from the American side, but I don't think Yelp allows me to review international venues, so this is a review for the Canadian side.  

First piece of advice - Go to Canada to see Niagara Falls.  Matt and I kind of…More »

So, on the 2nd night of The Blaze of Glory, we needed a place to stay.  After driving through Canada, we end up in Ann Arbor, MI.  We have friends who went to Michigan, I've always wanted to see The Big House, so Ann Arbor seemed like a better place…More »

Blaze of Glory, Day 2:  First we check in to the Super 8, and just when it  couldn't get worse, we ate here for dinner.  

I'm not sure why we chose to eat here. I think other places were closing, and we didn't want to eat at a bar.  However, based on…More »

This was, by far, the best dinner of the road trip.  Though I was roadtripping on a shoe string budget, I decided to splurge for one night;  This was well worth it.  They had a wide variety of meats and many different cuts.  The service was…More »

Between Chicago and the Badlands, we decided to stop by Omaha, and a stop in Omaha would not be complete without a steak.  After some searching, we came upon Anthony's, and it was everything we imagined Omaha restaurants to be.  The restaurant is…More »

This is one of the most beautiful national parks in the US.  It is absolutely amazing.  I have to agree with Donald and Marty on this one.  I don't mind paying a $25 fee to go in, because really, how many people spend one day here anyway?

Anyway, I…More »

After camping for three days in Yellowstone/Grand Teton and four days in Glacier, we needed good showers and comfy beds.  In our planning, we knew we were going to spend the night somewhere in between Glacier and Crater Lake, and that ended up being…More »

Take Me Down to Chinatown! (11)

My little guide of true gems and cubic zirconia in Chinatown.

Note:  To get away from the tourists, and get into real Chinatown, stay away from Canal Street.  No, I do not need a fake Fendi handbag, or a name buckle belt.  Send me to the real dim sum restaurant that lacks a single word in English on the walls and the produce stands that sell me 10 lemons for a dollar.
