5.0 star rating

I love me some Pepe's when I'm in Key West, so much that I went twice during my most recent visit to the island. It's a completely unique experience that I'll try to successfully sum up in this review, but it's 100% worthy of a visit during your trip…More »

Picture this... you're driving down the highway from Miami to Key West, and you see this little shack of a restaurant saying they serve "the best Mexican seafood." Here's a hint: believe them. Because it's the absolute truth.

I heard through the…More »

What an awesome place to grab dinner in Key West. I don't know if I was just exceptionally hungry or what, but I've never been more impressed with a place after just having a salad.

It's on the water so the views are pretty stellar, but I definitely…More »

(415) 546-9711

Category: Thai

Neighbourhood: SOMA

5.0 star rating
  6/29/2011

Cha-Am is hands-down one of the the best Thai restaurant I've ever been to, which is a pretty huge statement, but 100% true. I'm staying at the W Hotel this week and this spot is right across the street, so a few of us wandered in on Sunday night not…More »

5.0 star rating
  1/25/2011

If I lived in Phoenix (which I'm highly considering after experiencing the 70 degree weather in the middle of winter) I would come to LGO at least a few times a week for lunch and a laptop work session. My time here today has been made up of one…More »

Category: Airlines

Neighbourhood: Berkeley

5.0 star rating
  Update - 11/12/2011

After flying so many other airlines I realize that I definitely took Southwest for granted. Their customer service has just been so outstanding, especially the time my bag was 61.1 pounds, and they patiently waited as I got the weight down to 50 by…More »

Dinner at Beretta winds down my San Francisco eating marathon, and what a way to end the week it was. Here's all I knew about Beretta: They had good pizza. I had no idea just how fantastic the place was.

I was here with a gigantic group so they put us…More »

I'm pretty sure that today we visited the most magical place on earth besides Disneyworld. It was magical in a very different way, though... it was beautiful, peaceful, and way more than I was expecting.

A group of us visited Jam today to get some…More »

4.0 star rating
  6/28/2011

When asked today, "where are we going for lunch?", I looked to my friends from the area who told me Samovar was a "nice, reliable lunch spot." Well I don't know if they're just extra fancy or if we do things a little differently in St. Louis, but…More »

I really like this beach! I have to say, I came to Key West at the beginning of spring break season (wah wah) so every single beach is abnormally crowded with frat boys and sorority sisters, but that bit aside, I like this beach the best. The view is…More »

What do you do when it's time for lunch in San Francisco and it's freezing and pouring down rain? You throw a poncho on and run like hell to the nearest restaurant, whatever that might be. Several puddles and cuss words later, we made it to The Grove…More »

  1/23/2011

I'm staying at Hotel Indigo the next six nights, and I'm more than okay with that!

This boutique hotel is beautiful and has been a gracious host thus far. The entrance to Hotel Indigo is a little confusing because you walk in a door that's on the…More »

AHA! I've solved the mystery of whether or not I actually like Indian food, and the answer is that I DO. I have had such mixed experiences, my last one being slightly traumatizing with unnecessary spicy-ness, and after going to Bindi I'm completely…More »

What a great place to have a group dinner! Fun, laid-back atmosphere, a solid drink list, and food that will fill you up and fill you up happy. Here are my quick take-a-ways:

In short: Probably don't stay here if you're planning a visit to Key West. Here are the exceptions to that statement:
*If you absolutely do not care about where you're staying and don't plan to spend enough time at your hotel to really care
*If you…More »
