I love The West End Tavern. It’s on Boulder’s West End which is my favorite part of town on the west end of the Pearl St. Mall. It has great atmosphere, a killer roof top deck with a view of the Flatirons, great whiskey and beer selection and excellent service because this is one of […]

Oh yes. I am a sucker for a good burger. I am! And the bigger the dive, the better. Salt Lake City has a few. I have been a long time fan of Lucky 13. And the Cotton Bottom Inn has been on my list for a while and it did not disappoint. Total hole in the […]

Cherry Circle Room is the reinvention of the iconic restaurant of the same name that has serviced the Chicago Athletic Association and its members for generations. The intimate, James Beard award-winning space (‘Outstanding Restaurant Design’) has been fully restored. This building has now been turned into a hotel and everything about it is cool. I love […]

Centro Latin Kitchen & Refreshment Palace (Don’t you love that name!) is real deal Latin Food. I had the Fish Tacos which were excellent. So was the tuna and shrimp. And this place is so much more. They make great drinks, have a killer Happy Hour, their outdoor seating is a lot of fun and […]

Washington DC is a great city filled with great neighborhoods which I love because they have character, they’re not touristy and filled with great local joints. Columbia Heights is one of those neighborhoods and they have a great joint called Room 11. It’s a casual joint with killer food, like the Pork Belly, and amazing cocktails, […]

When I am on the road I am always drawn to the killer dive bar that has great food and Ducks Eatery in Manhattan fits the bill. It’s in the East Village which is a great neighborhood. This place is tiny with tons of character that has a funky menu and tasty cocktails. One of the […]
New York City
I love Manhattan and my favorite neighborhood is Nolita. Cool little area between the Lower East Side and SoHo. On Spring Street is Mother’s Ruin. It’s pretty much a dive bar. Loud music, decent drinks, open late, cool people. And pretty good food. The French Onion Soup and Grilled Cheese worked for me!

I was in Park City for Sundance and some skiing and checked out High West Distillery and Saloon. What a great place. They make their own whiskey and vodka. But this place is more that good drinks. The food was excellent. I couldn’t get past the French Onion Soup because it was so darn good. […]

One of the tastiest and chillest places to get a beer in Asheville is Wedge Brewing Co. Their beer is fantastic. It’s in an old warehouse down by the railroad tracks and the river. Most of the seating is outside and there is a different food truck parked there everyday serving up tasty food. Great […]
Asheville
Asheville has so much good food. One of the best known restaurants is Curate. It’s excellent and the chef/owner has just opened another joint called Nightbell. It’s vintage-chic, innovative with new American small plates, entrees & craft cocktails. The menu is designed to share as most items are tapas style. We had a lot. Below is […]
