11. Jazz on the Park
As far as hostels go....this place is not bad at all. I've been to ones way worse. The location is great, next to central park, and a few blocks from the subway. I recommend you pack lightly though, as the lockers are pretty small. Feels like you're…More »

Came here with a bridal party for a spa day. Although the price was pretty decent compared to any of the other spas we reseached in vegas....i have to admit for the money we paid, you would expect something a lot more extravagant. The front desk was…More »
16. Solvang Restaurant
If you ever get a chance to stop in Solvang, make sure you make a pit stop at this place, if simply for their infamous aebleskivers. Love how they're served fresh & warm, and you get a glimpse of them in action at the purchase window. Super cute! If…More »

What I really admire about this cathedral, and what makes it distinguishable from other cathedrals that i've visited is it's gothic nature. Its ironically very appealing but beautiful at the same time. Centrally located, and it really makes a bold…More »

**3.5 STARS**
I came back here for a 2nd time, and while i still believe the beach setting is absolutely gorgeous, and it's a restaurant to try at least once, i think it's a bit overrated and super expensive. Our meal was well over $200 not including…More »
