Can I move in? Please, please, pretty please? I promise I will be good!
When I was told that we would be staying at the cruise ship terminal, I was expecting a run down, nightmare hotel. When I walked into my room, I almost fell over. I somehow…More »

After reading all the reviews, I was starting to think that "Salt" was short for "assault" since every review referenced the shady alley where it is located. Well, instead of a chalk outline in front of the restaurant, there was a cute chalk sign…More »

Martini lunch? Yes please! Apparently I wasn't the only one. This place is huge, modern and packed. We managed to just beat the rush, though, so we scored a table outside to enjoy the beautiful weather. Since they were having a martini special,…More »

This place should top my hype list because it is pretty much the epitome of hyped up places that end up being a huge letdown. We arrived at 4:45pm to have a couple of bevys before dinner. Understandably, the outdoor patio was busy, but there were…More »
The first time I was in Juneau, it was only for 24 hours and I went to Twisted Fish twice. I had the Twisted Fish Pie (yes, both times...I know, I have a problem, but it was that good). Smoked salmon, shrimp, a deliciously rich white sauce, cheese,…More »
I was looking for a place to have lunch. I briefly glanced in some other places, but after seeing the mobs of people, decided that what I really wanted was a good beer in a relaxed atmosphere. All the way at the end of the strip, I found Skagway…More »
I was only in Ketchikan for a couple of hours, so I was on a mission to find some good salmon. I saw that Alaska Fish House was a good prospect, so I headed straight there. I was kind of surprised that it was an "order at the counter" type of place…More »
We headed to Fat Stan's because we were looking for a good local beer to enjoy with our lunch. Since Alaska Fish House doesn't serve beer, they offered to deliver our lunch to Fat Stan's.
From the outside it looks like a dive, but it is actually…More »

This place is great...if you don't care what you're drinking. The girls and I wandered in for that infamous "one last drink". This place screams upscale bar with the modern decor, beautiful long bar and huge flat screen TVs.
All excited, I decided…More »

Wow, this airport sure is pretty. Now I know what they've been doing with my departure tax all these years. Brand spankin' new everything made of glass and wood, art exhibits that look like they came out of a museum, even a fun playground for the…More »

Big Girl Cocktails...for meeee!!! (15)Back when I was a young pup, two classy ladies who know a thing or two about classic cocktails took me to the Four Seasons for a beverage. "No more rum and coke for you", they said, "you need a big girl drink" and handed me my first manhattan. That was 10 years ago and I've been hooked ever since. Here are some places where a classy lady (or gent) can sip a classy cocktail. |
