1. Venetian Pool
Coral Gables, FL 33134
(305) 460-5306
Categories:
Swimming Pools,
Landmarks & Historical Buildings
Beautiful, gorgeous, fun! A must-visit if you love water. This is fresh, natural filtered water, not eye-stinging chlorinated typical public pool water. Be aware, however, that it may not be warm enough for some people. My partner does not swim in…More »
2. Discovery Cove
If you've ever dreamed of swimming with rays, dolphins, and other creatures, this is a great place to do that! I've been twice and would go again in a heartbeat. It's one of those awesome parks where everything is my favorite. I love everything.
It's…More »
3. Sleep
I don't know about people who can sleep without a cat. How is that possible? Without the loud purring, demanding paws pushing at your face, curling into crevices you didn't know you had, meowing your sleepy ass awake every morning, ready or not? We…More »
4. St Joseph Cathedral Basilica
This is a beautiful place to sit and think, feel, rejoice, behold. Or none of those: just be. The quietness has an indescribable beauty. I haven't attended any services or events here. Only sat and absorbed the quietness. Never seen such a beautiful…More »
5. Birthdays
Neighbourhood: SOMA
It's my birthday! I rule!
There's nothing better, folks. Nothing.
I'm smiling so much today, my cheeks are tired. If I were any happier, I might explode! Another year has been given to me. How awesome is that?
Many, many others have not made it to the…More »
6. In Line Chiropractic Group
Thanks to Yelp, I found Dr. Bennett! He's great!
This isn't a crunch-and-go adjustment factory. Dr. Bennett takes the time to be thorough and genuinely helpful. He is an ART practitioner, which is rare, so if you have muscle problems from which you…More »
7. People who write too many reviews
There's no such thing as people writing too many reviews. That's thinking small. Maybe the others just don't read fast enough.
"Too many"..."enough"..."too much..."not enough"... Those are value judgments. All in the eye of the beholder. In this case,…More »
8. Legion of Honor
Probably the prettiest place in SF.
Their current special French exhibit is tremendously thought-provoking. Made me realize how deficient my knowledge of French history is. If you enjoy French impressionism or studying France, you must see this…More »
9. Michael Jackson - CLOSED
FYI: I'm not giving five stars to MJ's "closure" -- but to his life.
I learned of his passing through http://www.imdb.com, right after setting the 'puter back up upon moving back into our house. We'd moved out for a couple months while it was being…More »
10. de Young
If you're a classical art obsessive like me, get thee to the deYoung NOW! Birth of Impressionism is only there 'til September!
Magnificent works of art that I'd never seen in person...no waiting in line...classy place set in a beautiful park...drool!

11. Procrastination
Neighbourhood: Haight-Ashbury
Procrastination is the word humans apply to behavior that is normal for a cat.
Ever get to know a cat? Not just pet them and admire their beauty, but really get to know them? They do what they want, when they want. For them, lying around, catching…More »
12. Southfork Ranch
Please read my review as someone who is EXTREMELY biased as a 30+ year-fan of the show. It would be impossible to pretend to relate as a tourist who's not also a fan, because that's not the case.
Disclaimer aside...
The Southfork tour was wonderful!…More »
13. Flying Hands Massage
"Woohoo! As good as it gets!" is right! Five stars really means something here! Today I'm even more happy to be a Yelper!
Contact Ray and get a massage now. I mean it.
Thanks Yelpers for pointing me in his direction! Best massages my partner and I…More »
14. Ponderosa Park
This park is beautiful, and fun. A great place to walk a dog, or a cat, in my case (in his stroller). A lot of people let you pet their friendly dogs too! If you love watching squirrels, this is an ideal place to do it. Some of them are very friendly…More »
15. Japanese Friendship Garden
Do not -- I repeat, do NOT -- come here when it's dollar admission day at Happy Hollow, right across the way. F'gettaboutit. Before you visit, check Happy Hollow's calendar on their website to make sure there are no special promotions going on at…More »
16. Harry P Leu Gardens
Orlando, FL 32803
(407) 246-2620
Categories:
Venues & Event Spaces,
Botanical Gardens,
Museums
The thing that stood out about this place to us, besides its beauty, was its hugeness. Wow, that was a lot of walking! That's me and gardens -- I want to take it all in, see everything. Every leaf, flower, species matters. I would have liked to see…More »
17. St Petersburg Pier
What I remember most about our visit to the Pier are the pelicans. Huge! Never seen pelicans that size. Unreal. Got my pic taken with them, cool!
The Pier is quite organized. Valet parking = good. We are very particular about food, so we stopped at…More »
18. Natural Bridges State Beach
I got married here fourteen years ago today. It was always one of my favorite places. It's beautiful, and the site/parking was free (I don't think that's still true) which made it easy on the wedding guests. My now-ex and I used to go back every six…More »
19. West Cliff Drive
Beautiful.
Not only a lovely fragrance of Estee Lauder, but the word that comes to mind when thinking of West Cliff Drive.
Probably the most scenic place I can think of to take a walk. To one side, gorgeous bay water and coastal plants. To the other,…More »
20. Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk
How refreshing and unexpected to see the Boardwalk's restrooms looking so much cleaner! I've never seen them so clean. Yay for that!
The free Eddie Money beach show was the reason we went. I'd never seen him perform before, and the price was right. I…More »

Like so many, I grew up going to the Boardwalk. It's an old friend.
Even when I don't go on any of… Read more »
21. Neptune's Kingdom
If you love mini-golf and air hockey, this is a great place to enjoy Santa Cruz inside. Sometimes, you just wanna get out of the sun/rain and wind and shake the sand off.
The mini-golf course has a pirate theme and fits all skill sets. Each time I…More »
22. ClubSport
I think this is my first review for anything in the East Bay. Don't get out there very often, but this was a worthwhile trip! This review is primarily for the pool, 'cause that's what I used.
When our friend told us we could go swimming, we had no…More »
23. Tuttimelon - CLOSED
I'm still in mourning for Taxi's, but I won't hold it against this new froyo place. Had never been to a self-serve froyo that charges by weight! It's a salad bar for yogurt, if you will.
Very colorful and cute inside. I didn't see stains on pillows…More »
24. Couples
Neighbourhood: SOMA
My 200th review is about couples.
While my partner and I are generally considered to be nice people, we're also toxic to bad couples. In fact, we should have warning labels!
It's become increasingly clear as we get older and more observant, that we…More »
25. Niagara Parks Butterfly Conservatory
If you love butterflies and tropical plants, you'll be in sweaty heaven in this place. I do mean SWEATY. When they offer for you to remove your coat and hang it in the complimentary coat hanger area, take that as a warning: it's stuffy and tropical…More »
26. Niagara Falls
Beautiful and romantic! Visit with someone you're in love with.
Oh, and bring a camera!
27. Floral Showhouse
I admit, our primary interest was the free parking. As you drive into Niagara Falls, parking costs an arm and two legs...no thanks. If you park at Floral Showhouse on a weekday in November, it's free. Also, it's free during most of December and…More »
28. Niagara Falls Aviary
Want to go somewhere where the birds are so beautiful, you get dizzy?
This was a happy stop! Rainbow lorikeets, oh my! I had four of them on me at a time! They are little clowns! Who knew? Oh, my kingdom for a picture!
They did not allow personal…More »
29. Ocean Beach
Beautiful sunset, anyone? This is the place!
Much cleaner than I expected, based on some of the reviews. Maybe I was in a specifically clean segment of it. Sounds like it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I guess it depends what you're doing at the…More »
30. Paper Vision
This store is an amusement park to a paper lover like me. I have spent countless hours over decades in this store. So much to look at! Whether buying anything or not, it's a wonderful place to look.
It feels good in here to an art lover. Has Santa…More »
31. The Fillmore
San Francisco, CA 94115
(415) 346-3000
Category:
Music Venues
Neighbourhoods: Japantown, Western Addition/NOPA
The Fillmore was a great place to see Bryan Adams. (This was years ago.) I'd never seen one of his shows before, so to see him in this intimate setting was fantastic! I love the sound quality here. There's an eerily special feeling about being in a…More »
32. Custom Hair Styling
No more layers, yay!
No more layers, yay!
No more layers, yay!
Ok I admit it, as far as my own hair is concerned, I'm layer-phobic. I hate feeling different lengths when I run my fingers through my hair and having shorter pieces around my face when I'm…More »
33. Eating Cake at the Wrong Hour
San Francisco, CA 94101
Neighbourhood: Nob Hill
There is no wrong hour silly, only the wrong cake.
What would the wrong one be?
Hmm...Costco. Can't stand their lousy cakes. Parents buy them for their kids' parties because they're large, but they are chalky and tasteless. Oh, and you find them at…More »
34. Marianne's Ice Cream
Loud ice cream! Really loud. Mandarin chocolate, ok? Don't say I didn't warn you. Yummy and loud! Orange and chocolate go really well together, but it doesn't come with volume control. Ask for a taste sample first to make sure you can handle it!
We…More »
35. Baskin-Robbins
Santa Clara, CA 95051
(408) 241-7854
Categories:
Bakeries,
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt,
Caterers
This location, and its competent employees, handled a promotional discount event with so much grace and obvious preparation, that it was hardly discernible to be a promotional event. No crowding, fighting, cutting in line, frustrated customers,…More »
36. Affordable Chiropractic
Dr. Jay is making this upcoming Sliding Scale Saturday into a special fundraiser -- please read!
If you need an adjustment for less than full price, Dr. Jay offers them on a donation ("more than a dollar, but less than a million") basis on the second…More »

37. my backyard
To celebrate my 300th review and 3rd year reviewing on Yelp, I want to review something really worth celebrating: my backyard.
It's a very, very special place.
It is not like any other backyard I have known. This is partly due to the number of…More »
38. Wholesale Insurance
I only feel greatness about these great people. Great, great, great!
Totally nice, patient, responsive, knowledgeable, very cool folks.
Great!
39. Fortes Brothers Towing & Auto Repair
Realized battery was dead after already loading the kids into the backseat to go to the vet. Doh! Called AAA, and out came someone from Fortes Brothers. He replaced the battery with no charge for labor. Very friendly, efficient guy. We were very…More »
40. Zoo Miami
One of my very favorite zoos. Fantastic animals, beautiful photo ops, and great exercise walking the wonderful grounds. This is definitely on the list for if we ever return to Miami.
If you're in the area and like zoos, go here! The city ought to be…More »
