I grew up in central Vermont and apparently, spend alot of time here skiing and passing through. Here are some of the places I've been (and some I keep going back to).

My review is nearly identical to nate r.'s- great intermediate mountain, well maintained and groomed trails w/ good snowmaking.  Wide groomed, easy flowing trails- upper Sun Bowl is my favorite.  Overpriced food like any other ski resort- pack your…More »

  Update - 2/25/2009

Why had I never had sunday brunch here before?  I thought I was in heaven when I tasted the creme brulee french toast with cinnamon apple compote- generous portions, light, fluffy w/ slightly crunchy edges- absolutely perfect in every way.  And why…More »

I'm glad I'm not the only one that goes 'round and 'round the Cabot cheese sample table.  That's about the only reason why I stop here on my way to Simon Pearce for a real meal...the cheeses (and other samples- maple syrup, wine, dips, etc) are…More »

Great location- about 10 minutes from the bottom of the Stratton Mtn Access Road on the edge of Jamaica VT.  Very close to the road (Rt 30), with tight parking area but the inn is small so not really too much of a problem.  There's a beautiful little…More »

Great bed and breakfast- it's straight out of a Vermont country magazine, with the picturesque little town and views.  I stayed here last winter and plan to go again in March.  This area of Vermont doesn't have much lodging choice except B&Bs and ski…More »

Great sandwiches on thick homemade bread and delicious fresh potato chips.  Not the easiest parking lot to navigate when they are busy though.

Nice chill "tavern" in the Stratton village, offering variety of menu items from pub (boneless buffalo wings, quesadillas) to full entrees (burgers, steak or pecan encrusted salmon).  Larger than it initially appears- the basement is the Green Door…More »

Review of the "Learn" program- I went to Okemo and took advantage of their free December Learn-to-ski/ride session: free 2-hour lesson, rentals, lower lift ticket, beginner discount "First Tracks" card for future visits.  I made a reservation, showed…More »

Yummy sticky buns and mint brownies.  Beautiful building with wood beams, large windows, stone path with wooden branch archway leading to the entrance- see the photos on the website: http://www.babalouisba...

I took a star off for being cash only- no…More »

Not bad- I agree with most of what Julie O. wrote in her review about this hotel being in the middle of nowhere with very little around.  (There is a gas station across the street and a Shaw's supermarket about 5 minutes away in town of Springfield.)…More »

Recently updated lists from Lucy W.

Inman Park/Old 4th Ward (25)

Inman Park and Old Fourth Ward!  Trying out all the places near where I live...love this neighborhood.

Making myself pretty (or at the very least- not scary) (10)

I don't wake up looking like this...I gotta work at it.  OK, not "work" per se, more like "pay" for it.

Decatur (9)

Tons of great places to eat & imbibe...all within walking distance of a square.

Tastes of the Far East (20)

Asian restaurants in Atlanta- I'm slowly compiling reviews from all the Asian restaurants I've tried in Atlanta- Chinese, Thai, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc...no 5-stars yet but plenty of 2-3-4 star places.

Carbo Loading- Italian Style (Atlanta) (9)

Italian dining in Atlanta has made me a little gun shy...while I love Italian food, I had a couple awful Italian food experiences when I first arrived in this city and usually end up at the same 2-3 Italian places I do like...so hopefully, making a list will encourage me to try a few more restaurants out there.  Here's all of what I tried (minus the pizza places).

Desert weekend getaway (11)

Arizona vacation- Quick relaxing getaway, I need to make this a regular vacation destination!

Party of one! Dining solo (19)

Places in Atlanta where I've felt comfortable dining by myself.  The only requirement is that there's a bar or small tables off to the side- nice bartenders, easy parking and good people watching areas also are a plus.  For me personally, It's also nice to have no judgment or people staring if I want to order multiple dishes to try and bring leftovers home :)

Restaurants to bring out-of-towners (14)

Here's where I've brought family & friends visiting from out of town, who want some type of Atlanta food experience

Being a tourist in Atlanta (13)

I moved to Atlanta 2 years ago but I still enjoy exploring the city like a tourist.

Dim Sum Quest- Atlanta (8)

UPDATE:  Found great dim sum!!!!  See my last review on the list for Golden House.  

Original list description:  I've pretty much given up on this one...I don't think great dim sum exists in Atlanta (especially a la carte and to go) so I'll have to settle for just good dim sum.
