1. The Black Horse London Pub
San Francisco, CA 94123
(415) 928-2414
Category:
Pubs
Neighbourhoods: Nob Hill, Russian Hill
This may be one of the tiniest drinking holes that I have ever imbibed in...not a bad thing?
Love the Chimay, love the dice, love the tight spaces.
If you love brew and a laid back vibe...this is the place for you.
No frills. No cash. No space.
Good…More »
2. Mamacita
San Francisco, CA 94123
(415) 346-8494
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Marina/Cow Hollow
Mamacita is tad like those loving yet slightly overbearing Italian family dinner and I mean that in the most sincere way....laced with a little guilt.
Yes, Mamacita serves up Mexican fare but I can assure you that many ethnic cultures can relate when…More »
3. Blueberry Hill Restaurant & Bar
St. Louis, MO 63130
(314) 727-4444
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Music Venues
Neighbourhoods: University City, The Loop
I have since moved from St. Louis to Nashville which is titled "Music City" for obvious reasons but I do miss The Loop area of the Lou. I especially miss Blueberry Hill because of the delightful menu of items to nosh on, the fact that Chuck Berry s…More »
4. Hotel Felix
Chicago, IL 60654
(312) 447-3440
Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Near North Side, River North
I actually believe that Hotel Felix is worthy of 4.5 stars but couldn't feel good about giving them 5 because my room was located near the elevator on my floor - I could hear nearly all of the noise out in the hallway.
I am not sure of there is a…More »
5. Davanti Enoteca
Chicago, IL 60607
(312) 226-5550
Category:
Italian
Neighbourhood: University Village
If Old World Italian + Modern Italian Flair were to procreate and have a gurgling little baby 9 months later.....you would name the little rascal Davanti Enoteca.
Chicago's "Little Italy" has a plucky new kid in town.
I adore the laid back environment…More »
6. Ethos Vegan Kitchen
Orlando, FL 32804
(407) 228-3898
Categories:
Vegan,
Vegetarian,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Park Lake/Highland
Ethos reminds me of a comfort food...ya know...like mashed potatoes or macoroni and cheese. You just feel cozy and good when you walk in.
The staff were all really friendly and fun and I adore the covered patio while I noshed on my Coconut Curry Wrap.…More »
7. The Soul Vegetarian Restaurant
I recently was in Atlanta for their fashion week and made sure to schedule some bonding time with Soul Veg.
I was not disappointed!
The staff were as friendly as ever and I was seduced by the Vegan mac and cheese, barbecue soy riblet, and spicy kale.…More »

This place can turn a non-vegan/vegetarian into one!
Yes.
I said it.
And.
I mean it.

8. Millennium
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 345-3900
Categories:
Vegetarian,
Vegan
Neighbourhood: Civic Center/Tenderloin
While on business in San Francisco I felt inspired to check out the vegetarian + vegan dining scene and was always referred to check out the Millennium. Some warned that it was on the pricey side but that it was worth a visit. I'm always down for a…More »
9. Scout's Honor Rescue
While I was in Corpus Christi on business, I kept running into emaciated animals, dogs chained up with no access to food or water, and dogs running into traffic. It was needless to say, a very depressing and eye-opening experience. My friend and I…More »
10. AT&T
Chicago, IL 60610
(312) 951-5935
Category:
Mobile Phones
Neighbourhoods: Old Town, Near North Side
I am certainly not a fan of aging myself but I have to disclose that I have been a moderately happy Spring customer for nearly 15 years. How dreadfully grownup am I?
I did enjoy some stress levels due to being on the fence about switching over to the…More »
11. Danny's
3.5 stars is really more accurate.
Danny's is pretty simple and so is my review.
Cash only.
Vodka + water for $3. Hell yea!
Killer DJ's that bring a little funk and even inspire the dowdiest to shake their moneymaker on the dance floor.
Very dark so if…More »
12. XpresSpa
Atlanta, GA 30320
(404) 766-4353
I had been travelling a ton for business and spending a little too much time in airports and not enough time on my toes.
I had about 90 minutes before my flight and was hoping that I would find a spa/salon where I could finally have my tootsies taken…More »
13. Very Best Vintage
Chicago, IL 60622
(312) 226-5530
Category:
Used, Vintage & Consignment
Neighbourhood: Ukrainian Village
I was impressed by the price-points in this quirky yet adorable little shop in Chicago. Some of the other places that we stopped in put a definite premium on their goods based off of the store's zip code. My best friend who lives around the…More »
14. Yorgo's Bageldashery
I am in Norfolk for a few weeks on business and EVERYONE has told me that Yorgo's is THE place to go for a discriminating Vegan palatte. With so much hype...being the realist that I am...I was sure that I was going to be disappointed in some way. Not…More »

Chicago, IL 60611
(312) 664-0525
Category:
Venues & Event Spaces
Neighbourhood: Near North Side
I don't consider myself as someone who gets green with envy very much BUT I am totally jealous that Nashville doesn't have a Workspring!
This is NOT a paid infomercial.
I am in Chicago for a few days of training so my boss booked us a day at this…More »
16. Thai Singha
I was in Orlando for business and after rushing around doing errands before my flight; we had just enough time for lunch. We decided to pop into the closest strip mall to find a feast.
We noticed that Thai Singha was located next to Kirin Sushi but…More »
17. Sawtooth Restaurant and Lounge
Chicago, IL 60607
(312) 526-3320
Categories:
Vietnamese,
Lounges
Neighbourhoods: Near West Side, West Loop
Sawtooth has sooooooooooooooo much potential. Sorry to be annoying but I can't emphasize enough about how this place could be a 5 star establishment if they can make it through the learning curves in the first weeks of business. At this time,…More »
18. Fang
Fang is a good lunch option because of the speedy service and prices! The service was attentive and the environment was perfect for a business lunch or a date.
I seriously think that it took less than 5 minutes for my Pan Fried Tofu to arrive....how…More »
19. Grasshopper Restaurant
Allston, MA 02134
(617) 254-8883
Categories:
Chinese,
Vietnamese,
Vegan
Neighbourhood: Allston/Brighton
I was in Boston for business and the Vegan group I was with suggested The Grasshopper because I simply had to taste "The No Name". I was confused by the name of this signature dish but was up for the challenge.
The exterior of the Grasshopper appears…More »
20. Alchemy Juice Bar Cafe
A group of us pit-stopped here for a late lunch about a month ago and I left feeling a little "off." Don't get me wrong....this place has a very fun and liberal vibe and I loved the adorable glass juice jar that I was able to purchase for just $2. I…More »
21. Azar's Natural Foods Market & Cafe
A friend of mine and I are both in town for a few weeks for business and don't really know the area very well. Our temporary residence is a short walking distance from Colley and we stumbled upon Azar's one evening when we were looking for a dinner…More »
22. Dovetail Chicago
Chicago, IL 60642
(312) 243-3100
Category:
Used, Vintage & Consignment
Neighbourhood: Noble Square
Dovetail was another stop I made while I was visiting my BFF in Chicago during the Pitchfork Music Festival. It was in the same neighborhood as Very Best Vintage but had a completely different and more upscale vibe that I enjoyed.
This cozy shop was…More »
23. Red Dog Saloon
Norfolk, VA 23517
(757) 625-4674
Categories:
Pool Halls,
Sports Bars,
American (Traditional)
This is a favorite hangout for a lot of the people that work at the Norfolk office for the company that I work for. I popped in on my first night in town with a few of them and wasn't really that excited about the facade or environment. It looks like…More »
24. Blue Palm Hotel
You pay for what you get.
At just $55 a night per our company's travel booking service, I certainly wasn't expecting the Ritz Carlton and I didn't receive the Bates Motel either.
Have I stayed at much nicer hotels? Sure.
Did I spend $55 a night there?…More »
25. Curry-N-A-Hurry
We stopped here for lunch a few days ago. The staff was nice but the food was not very exciting. I ordered the jerk faux chicken and the texture wasn't the best. I didn't even touch the cooked cabbage on the side.
The environment was out of date and…More »
26. Flashback Vintage
Nashville, TN 37203
(615) 321-5326
Categories:
Used, Vintage & Consignment,
Costumes
My friend and I were on a mission to find funny and slightly horrific costumes for a Nerd Prom Birthday party. Naturally.
We scoured a few different vintage boutiques and Goodwill and didn't find what we were looking for. The options were either too…More »
27. Texture
This shop is the perfect place to stop in for gifts, unique jewelry, and Eco-friendly merchandise. I love the warm and friendly vibe and the fact that Fairgrounds Coffee shop is right above on the second floor. You feel like you are visiting a…More »
28. Commonwealth - CLOSED
I honestly didn't know what to think when I was walking into this shop. Sure, I loved my ghetto Nike sneaks but was I a little too old to walk into this skater/street inspired shop?
NOPE.
I loved the open layout and right away noticed that the…More »
29. Fairytales Bookstore
Nashville, TN 37206
(615) 915-1960
Categories:
Toy Stores,
Bookstores
Neighbourhood: East End
I never thought that I would be reviewing a children's bookstore anytime soon as I am not what one may call "maternal"...
Don't be alarmed, I haven't conceived any mini-mes as of yet but I have had several friends and family do so.
Fairytales is just…More »
30. The Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa
I have always loved Westin Hotels because of the Heavenly Bed. How could you not?
Well.
I can tell you.
Spending $380 for a hotel room so that you can attend a business meeting in one of their conference rooms, and you can't utilize the resort…More »
31. Naro Expanded Cinema
I have been in Norfolk for business for a few weeks and fell in love with this place when my company held an all-staff meeting here.
The prices are very reasonable for a ticket at $8 and the concession prices are the same way. You can actually score…More »
32. Hotel Congress
This is not the place for you if you enjoy the blase' humdrumness of chain hotels that include free shampoo and weak coffee in the hotel room.
I'll pass.
This is the place for anyone who supports eclectic independence with a creative insight!
The…More »
33. Hot House Yoga
I had heard about this studio from a housemate during my stay in Norfolk. I am here on business and was thrilled with the idea of taking Hot Yoga while I was here. I previously has a membership for a studio in Nashville that I barely used ironically.…More »
34. Naro Expanded Video
I wanted to give this place a great rating because I love the Naro theater next door so much....
BUT
I walked in and asked if I could start a membership and the older man behind the counter gruffly said that he could help me after he assisted a few…More »

Categories:
Vegetarian,
Sandwiches

I couldn't resist but come here again while I was in San Fran. It may just be the perfect lunch spot for those looking for something on the healthier side. Although the line looks tedious, it moves rather quickly and the price points are in line for…More »

37. Harbor Court Hotel
My flight was delayed around 3 hours so when I arrived at the Harbor Court Hotel at 11:30 in the evening,...let's just say that I was a tad "moody".
As I was checking in and struggling to keep my eyelids open, I leaned against the counter to observe…More »
38. Prospect
Exquisite things don't come cheap especially when it comes to shoes and dining. Hence my empty savings account but wealthy closet.
On my last evening in San Francisco, our group decided to go out with a bang and we giddily chose Prospect. From the…More »
39. Burritt Room
I actually visited the Burritt with high expectations as my cohorts suggested it with glee due to a lively experience they had the previous night. Oh. How I wish I would have been with them on that evening instead.
We moseyed on in during a birthday…More »
40. Nashville International Airport
I really didn't know how to take the news when I recently checked in at the Nashville Airport and my Yelp IPhone application told me that I was a "regular".
I became quite the Carmen Sandiego for the last year of my life with constant flights and…More »
