After a night of camping midway between Quebec City and Montreal, we hit the road with our sights set on our room at the W in Montreal. We were ready to see what the city had to offer, but didn’t really know what to expect, despite having a Frommer’s. Basically we wanted to do some [...]
Last month Audrey and I took a much needed vacation. We’ve been trying to go to as many places in and around the northeast as we can and the next on our list was Canada!
I’ve wanted to drive to Montreal and Quebec City since we first moved here. I’d heard so much about Quebec City [...]
I was fortunate to have a chance to go to Texas not once, but twice in the past several weeks. The first trip was to Houston, which was a nice city, but seemed like it was mostly parking structures and freeways. It actually reminded me a lot of Orange County, CA, except lots of accents. [...]
On our last morning, we decided to head to the place with the frozen fountain from the first night which offered a solid cajun brunch buffet! We were pretty wiped out at this point with so much walking, eating and drinking, so we took it fairly easy…
The aforementioned brunch
The fountain was even more a mess. [...]
The morning was rough after the cocktail tour and run in with absinthe. The only cure was to be brunch and a bloody mary it was decided. Off we went to Brennan’s, which I think is famous for inventing Banana’s Foster, but I might not be totally correct on that.
Audrey outside and prepped for a [...]
Definitely one of the highlights of the trip was our Cocktail Tour we went on. This little sassafras of a lady from N.O. named Sandy led our yankee asses around to some of the biggest tourist traps best bars in the city. Actually, they were touristy I guess, but even the tourist traps in N.O. [...]
My friend got married in early December, and much to my surprise, I wound up being the best man. This was cool news, except for the fact it came only a few weeks before the wedding! Everything worked out quite well though, so it goes to show that it’s good to have luck on your [...]
Right now I’m sitting in my office here at Morgan Stanley with a half empty bottle of Jameson, a bottle of champagne cooling in the fridge, and the madness of Times Square going on over my shoulder! I’m saying “F you” to all the $100+ covers for lame bar nights going on across the city [...]
So a few weeks ago I wrote about the awesome experience of the Noodle Bar and mentioned the jealousy of the nearby table and their fried chicken dinner. Well, thanks to a very good friend who battled the stupid online reservation system, I was able to eat the chicken!
Here are the stats:
2 chickens. One was [...]
Lucky for me, my birthday this year fell on a Thirsty Club day, so turned into a big celebration of birthdays and adult beverages. The place we chose is called the Frying Pan. This is a bar that is on a boat (and it turns out a barge too) that was originally built in the [...]
This is going to be where the search and other helpful things go. Patience baldies!
