Yum!  We had the Prosciutto pizza here and it was delicious.  Our waiter was very friendly (and attractive).  The price for a medium-sized pizza was pretty good ($13-18) and we had plenty to eat.  The prices for wine were decent as well.  This is a…More »

Wow!  My jazz-loving and playing husband and I were thrilled to go to the Miles Davis exhibit, "We Want Miles."  This special exhibit featured sound clips, paintings by Miles Davis (yes, he painted) and others, Miles's trumpets and accessories, and…More »

All the cupcakes looked beautiful at Les Glaceurs.   And the ice cream whetted my appetite.  These were all wonderful, but then I saw the macarons, and I knew I had to have them.  I bought a bag of four for five dollars and ate them in one sitting.…More »

Prior to visiting Montreal, I made sure to check out yelp to see if there were any places specializing in macaroons and I found Point G.  I went to their website, which was exclusively in French, but thankfully, macaroons deliver a universal message…More »

On a super hot day, my husband and I were looking for a nice place to stop in a have a cold drink.  After my husband saw the live duo play (a stand-up bass player and a keyboardist), he wanted in.  This is really a nice place to sit and absorb all…More »
