1. Frank
Austin, TX 78701
USA
(512) 494-6916
Anywhere that causes me to snap that many pictures is pure brilliance in my books! Canadian poutine waffle fries may have been nothing like the real thing in Montreal, or even Vancouver for tha matter, but I give major kudos for trying! Much love for…More »
2. Rio Rita Lounge
Austin, TX 78702
USA
(512) 524-0384
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Dive Bars
Neighbourhood: East Austin
I didn't think I would ever say this, but I think there's a way to improve on our beloved "Ceasars" back home. Fix em up with the onslaught of green pickled goodies that comes with one of Rio Rita's bloody good home style, Bloody Marys!
The lime,…More »

4. La Boulange de Market
San Francisco, CA 94103
USA
(415) 512-7610
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: SOMA
The fruity, nutty, yogurt parfait is worth standing in a long line or waiting for an outdoor table for. The yogurt is the type of thick, rich, creamy goodness that I only wish I could replicate when making ours at home. The fruit is fresh, ripe,…More »

Category:
Fashion
Neighbourhood: Haight-Ashbury
I think I've got musky skunk love for ya! Like a glove, Skunk Funk fit my style and my wallet to near perfection. Reining from Spain, the clothes here are made from sustainable and sometimes recycled fabrics (according to the truly helpful sales…More »

Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Mission
The last time I had soft serve was a twisted cone at McD's...circa 1999. So you may imagine that my eyes were bright with anticipation, my lips were breaking into a smile and that I was practically begging by the time I made it through the line and…More »

7. The Grove Cafe Yerba Buena
San Francisco, CA 94105
USA
(415) 957-0558
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: SOMA
This is the largest fresh squeezed orange juice I've ever drank! And at $5 it's well worth it! Order at the counter and have a seat (hopefully) upstairs. You could very well be sitting in the alcove, aka "furnished rooms" which are really just tables…More »
8. Pasta Bene - CLOSED

Category:
Italian
Neighbourhood: Financial District
Down an alley? Check! No line up? Check! Available tables? Check!
Well, this meets lunch requirements! With it's pastas served cafeteria style, but made to order, and a bread + soup/salad accompaniment, this meets my lunch expectations. The crab…More »

Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Haight-Ashbury
A sweet, lil shop with a menu of sammy delights. The brie, cantaloupe and prosciutto was decent, but lived on the grill for moments too long - changing the brie from goey to almost gone. But the fruit and meat were a winning taste combo.
For the…More »
10. Ace Hotel
Portland, OR 97253
USA

Category:
Hotels
Neighbourhoods: Southwest Portland, Downtown
As I sat surfing the free wi-fi in the comfy lobby, there's flannel peaking out from behind the curtain in the photo booth, converse-clad, coffee sipping locals discuss how to make a perfect risotto, and the candlelight at Clyde Common fractures the…More »
11. Phoenix Hotel
San Francisco, CA 94109
USA
(415) 776-1380
When I opened the door to my room, I couldn't help but giggle. It was like a throwback to Hawaii Five-0, circa 1975. The TV? Old school, mounted close to the ceiling. If the wicker chairs and two double beds with printed polyester duvets didn't…More »
12. Ace Hotel Seattle
A short PS to my earlier love note:
There are a couple of magical rooms in the basement. There's no view, and no window and it's a bit bright in there come sunrise, so why are basement rooms magic? The indoor courtyard and behind-the-bed shower sums…More »

13. Little America Hotel - Salt Lake City
One day, all of the rockstars and reality TV stars will hit their golden years. And it's in this late stage in life, that I think they'd like the Tower Suites at Little America. Imagine if you were a grandma, who was once a baller. You'd like this…More »

14. Portland International Airport
I spend too much time in airports. Enough time that I've begun to appreciate the details, almost obsessively.
So this review is all about PDX's restroom stalls (or in the Canadian language: washroom or bathroom).
I travel light - one two-wheeler…More »
