Johnsonburg, PA 15845

3.0 star rating
  7/6/2009 First to Review

I was roadtripping with a friend who is a bit obsessed with small-town/country family style restaurants.   She has a GPS, so we hunted this place down when we were finally ready for a meal.

When you start looking at the menu and checking out the…More »

When you're paying $169 (Canadian, or about $143 US) a night, you have certain expectations.  That the furniture in your room won't be scratched and beat up, that the elevators will work, that you might have free internet access, that you won't have…More »

This place is awesome!  $19 for all-you-can eat sushi and other stuff?  Sign me up!  Here's the deal about Sapporo -- you can order absolutely anything off the menu: sushi rolls, hand rolls, tempura, salad, soup, dessert.  Yup, all of that for only…More »

This place was a godsend!  After having spent $15 (plus tax and tip) for tea, 2 eggs, 2 strips of bacon, potatoes and toast at the Sheraton restaurant the previous day, I dragged my friends here.  As we walked up, we noticed the sign advertising…More »

  7/7/2009 First to Review

This cafe is a gem in a sea of mediocrity that is the Sheraton Hamilton.  It is connected to the lobby of the hotel, and also to the passageway of shops behind the hotel.  The cafe was not open on Canada Day (which is just fine with me), but I was…More »

 6. Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls, ON L2E 3G4
Canada

4.0 star rating
  7/7/2009

One of the landmarks that all Canadians and Americans should see at least once in their lives.  This was my 3rd visit, but 1st as an adult -- and it's still fabulous!

  7/8/2009

On our way back from Canada, we decided to stop in Bath, a historic town with a nice looking Main Street, for dinner. There were a number of options, but we chose Chat-A-Whyle.  It was a solid choice -- the restaurant is very clean, service is very…More »

Recently updated lists from Dee B.

The Best (and worst) of Bethesda (66)

The good, the bad, and the in-between in the Bethesda area

2012 Summer Resolution Tour! (7)

In what has become an annual quest, I am kicking off my Summer Resolution Tour for this year.  Goal: to visit at least one new place every week, yelping along the way.  Decided to start a bit earlier this year, as well. More fun, more yelping, more new stuff. Woohooo!!!

Rockville - The Pike and further afield (57)

There's more to Rockville than just the Pike.

Honest Tea Addiction (7)

Although my favorite drink is water (seriously!), I do love Honest Tea, and am always happy to see it sold at any dining establishment or store.

Off the beaten path (10)

Places and spaces that are not as well-known, but that I have enjoyed.

BeNe vacation (20)

A wonderful week spent in Belgium and the Netherlands.

All the Chocolate in Belgium (4)

Although I was unable to purchase or sample all of the chocolate in Belgium, I made considerable strides toward that goal.

2009 Summer Resolution Tour (35)

I've come up with the genius idea of seasonal resolutions.  A year is just too long, but a summer is just right.  My resolution for this summer is to see something new or eat at one new place every week; preferably I'll be able to check out more than one a week .  Naturally, I'll be yelping along the way.

2011 Summer Resolution Tour (40)

Resolved: to try at least one new place every week between the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend and the Monday of Labor Day weekend.

Fun in Philly (8)

Finally got to see some of Philadelphia over a 48-hour period. This is what I saw and where I ate!
