1. Doug Fir Lounge
Portland, OR 97214
(503) 231-9663
Categories:
Lounges,
American (Traditional),
Music Venues
Neighbourhoods: Lower Burnside, Northeast Portland, Central Eastside, Buckman
I was honestly feeling a bit bummed by my last two selections for activities in Portland, based loosely on community feedback and some on my own research, but the night was still young (http://www.flickr.com/...), so I was hoping that my trip to Doug…More »
2. The Birchmere
I liked this concert venue much more than I expected. Nicole and I saw Sara Bareilles here a couple months ago, and even though we showed up not long before the opening act we were still able to find a table with relative ease. The layout is pretty…More »
3. Pete's Dueling Piano Bar
This was one of the most fun places I have ever been to, and no mistake. If you're only in Fort Worth for a while, and you really want to get a different look at nightlife, you HAVE to visit Pete's.
Sure, there are better lounges and better bars, with…More »
4. Galaxy Hut
It's a good thing for me I don't live in Clarendon, because I would be at Galaxy Hut at least twice a week. This is a fantastic spot, and I have to thank Venu for picking it as the spot to host this years Bell's HopSlam release, and Justin S, Keri M,…More »
5. Abraxas Lounge
Abraxas is definitely one of those bars that people go to when they want a taste of the local scene in Miami Beach, although as more and more people learn of it through outlets like this that will surely change. I actually heard about it from the…More »
6. Flying Saucer Draught Emporium
Charlotte, NC 28262
(704) 717-8179
Categories:
Pubs,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: University City
The best place to get a beer in Charlotte, period. I used to live right down the road from the Saucer and went there several times a week in order to earn my own gold plate up on the wall (something you get after drinking 200 different beers). The…More »
7. Soul Gastrolounge
Charlotte, NC 28205
(704) 348-1848
Categories:
Tapas Bars,
Lounges
Neighbourhood: Plaza Midwood
As always when I come home to visit my folks in Charlotte I am faced with the dilemma of finding restaurants to eat out at that not only tease my palate with some new flavors but also manage to not scare them off in the process. It's usually just my…More »
8. Russia House Restaurant & Lounge
Food is such a magical thing, able to transform moments into memories, and bring people together across miles just to sit and eat and enjoy it with each other. For me, food has always been a way to express myself, through thanks, creativity,…More »
9. The Cajun Experience
Washington, DC 20009
(202) 670-4416
Category:
Cajun/Creole
Neighbourhood: Dupont Circle
This is easily the best straight-up Cajun food I've found in DC. There might be better places to get a unique twist on traditional Cajun dishes, but I've yet to find anything in the District that tops their traditional offerings. Service always comes…More »
Recently updated lists from Justin C.
Oh No They Didn't! (52)Avoid these places if you like any of the following things: your health, your safety, your money, your friends. You are very likely to lose any or all of the above by visiting them. These are the worst of the bad places I've been to, and you do not want to be on this list if you're a business (and somehow still IN business). |
InspirAsian (49)The continent of Asia provides us with a myriad of wonders from architecture to cuisine and everything in between. There are plenty of lists out there targeted to specific countries and their specialties, be it Thai peppers, Japanese noodles, or Chinese dim sum. I decided to make this list to share my favorite places that have ties to any part of the region, because sometimes we just want a little culture in our life, and aren't sure what we want but we know we want something new. |
I Need A Drink! (89)These places are focused in some way on the one thing we can almost all agree on, alcohol! Whether it be wine, beer or spirits that get you going, somewhere on this list is bound to have what you're looking for. |
Crafty Cocktails (48)When I stray away from my love of craft beer it's more often than not because the cocktail list is so appealing I just can't resist. I really appreciate bars that come up with their own unique mixes, and here are some of my favorites. |
Fancy Pants (52)Get dressed up before coming here, as these are the "nicest" places you can dine or go out (with no consideration given in this list to the actual food and/or drinks). If you're not looking spiffy here you might get some stares... |
More Than Just A Spud (45)I'm Irish, through and through. Some may think it's a stereotype that we love our potatoes, and they're right, but that doesn't mean it's not true. We put them in, on, and with almost everything we eat, and we love every bite. Somehow though, some people have found ways to screw up this most basic of vegetables, so I created this list to glorify those who truly pay homage to the lifeblood of my homeland. [Note: This list is more than just fries, although it is heavily favored in that that direction, but also includes places that do homemade chips, or homefries, as well as just great all-around potato dishes. It's also attempted to be somewhat ranked, with my favorites at the top.] |
Tapas Teasers or Palate Pleasers? (9)Is it a great way to share plates, or just an inevitable money-sink that leaves you hungry after? The small plate phenomenon is catching on quickly as kitchens realize they can make major bank by giving you little portions, but some places excel where others falter. |
No Walls Needed (66)Like the idea or not, mobile food is becoming more popular every month in major cities across our country. The lower cost of doing business, partly from no rental costs and typically self-employed labor, gives us quite often some very unique food ideas at relatively cheap costs compared to your standard restaurant. If you're going to venture out there and have something different, I suggest trying some of these places in your quest for ultimate food bliss. |
Seattle Standouts (9)From sun up to sun down I was pleased with so many aspects of the month I spent in Seattle. It was easily the freshest fish I had ever experienced, and the creative genes are flowing rampantly in the blood of its chefs. You can see all the high resolution photos of the trip here: http://www.flickr.com/... |
Simply The Best (72)My favorite places to have a very memorable meal. If there were ever any occasion that required dining on the best food possible, I would gladly have it at one of these restaurants. These restaurants do something special to set them apart from just my favorite places to eat, they provide you with a unique atmosphere or cuisine that is above and beyond just good food. |
