Places Where I had a Great Time

See All Lists
This is a list of places where I had a GREAT time. The food might not have been the best, the music might not have been the best, but something about my visit was awesome and I left saying 'this place is great.' Maybe it was the company, but I left feeling like everything was worth it.

The best:

Basically... I made Mike go here against his will and he is forever in debt to me.

We walked past this dump on the way to to an amazing coffee shop and saw a sign that said "$2 beer and pool" - I said "we're going there."  Mike said "I don't know..."…More »

Recently updated lists from sarah l.

Coffee in Leslieville/Riverside (14)

I love coffee.  I am picky about coffee.

Places where I have met people from Russia (2)

Here's hoping this list grows quickly!  I meet Russians in the weirdest places.

Music Stuff (4)

Places I've bought guitars, guitar pedals, guitar amps, guitar strings, speakers, junk... basically where I waste all my money outside of bars.

Breakfasts (23)

I love breakfasts.  These ones aren't necessarily the best, but I have been to them :)

List of great dumps (7)

Inspired by Kat's list of dumps that are happy to have us visit even if I smell like last night's booze and have to wear a hat... I present to you... my own... (drumroll)...LIST OF DUMPS!

Chicken Wings... for better or for worse (15)

I want a certain style of wing... I will accept no less than crispy, unbreaded, saucy, non ketchupy wings with veggies and bleu cheese.  Some dill dips are also acceptable.

Rotisserie Chicken (4)

I didn't know you could get chickens at so many places!

Places where I have "a guy" (3)

You know those people who have "a guy" for everything?  He's the go-to guy, who knows everything about whatever and cuts you a cash deal?  Well... my guys usually don't cut me a cash deal, but I won't buy from anyone else at these stores.

Turn Down Your Baby (8)

Inspired by a PM from a new user criticizing my dislike of children in restaurants, I have compiled this list of places that I have met children.  (P.S. Please stop asking me to babysit)

My Favorite of My Reviews (haha) (14)

These are my favorite reviews...that I have written.
