Pretty much the world's greatest grocery store.  I live in freaking Brooklyn and I will schlep to Yonkers any day to get my food shopping done.  Yeah, I know..thats ridiculous,  but whatever...I LOVE STEW LEONARDS.

Is it the ice cream?
Is it the fact that I am a sucker for the petting zoo?
Is it the amount of fun I have?

Either way, it is always a good time for sure.

Tortilleria Mexicana Los Hermanos

It's a Saturday night, and you have twenty dollars in your wallet.  You want to eat like a king, and you want to eat good.  To complete this mission, you should go to Bushwick and eat at Los Hermanos.

I originally learned about Los Hermanos from my TV friend Anthony Bourdain and let me tell you, he did me well.

My good friend on the West Coasts holds up Taco trucks like nobodies business, so I will one up him and say that eating a factory makes everything better.

The tacos are great.  However I wish that there was a crispy option.  The ingredients are wicked fresh, and full of flavor.

If you want to drink a cold beer with your food, your best bet is to bring your own brown bag of refreshment as there is no alcohol served here.

Do not let the prices fool you, it is value at it's best...meaning for the first time we went..we ordered way too much food, it was almost a crime.

This review is for Craft Bar, which is where my good friend and I had dinner last Saturday.  For the most part, everything was excellent, from service to the food, I had a great time.

We really liked the hush puppies and definitely sampled much of the menu.

While this place was a great time and had great food, it is a place you say you went to.  It doesn't come across as a place that I would visit frequently.

If I need to go to a watering hole, I come to TC's.  No B.S, you come, you drink and you have a good time.  This bar is everything a bar should be in Boston..not some crap joint playing god awful music and reminiscent of the typical awkward middle school mixer atmosphere of many bars along Boylston street.

I have been meaning to go here for a long time.  This past week, I did.  And boy am I kicking myself in the butt for not going sooner.

We sat at the window and everyone was extremely helpful.  The food was a party in the mouth for sure.  We shared several dishes and enjoyed it immensely.

Definitely coming back soon.  This is a new favorite for sure.

Yes it's a convention hotel.  Yes I am not a big fan of convention hotels.  However, I just stayed here and noticed that the have been renovating the heck out of the hotel.  Just stayed in a new room and it was great.

Location is awesome.  

Shower quality moved up tremendously..not a firehouse, but not a drizzle.

Ace.

When in San Francisco, I am usually stopping here on my way from LA and have a couple of issues.  1) Dirty clothes that I don't want to send off through the hotel 2) It's late and I want some thing low key to do.  For this, Brainwash is perfect for me.

Food is great and reasonably priced.  Their WiFi is free and wicked fast.  The people here are very nice, both staff and patrons.  I definitely look forward to stopping by whenever I am in town.

To think of all the history of this venue and to see what it has become today.  Several people are turning over in their graves.  Two words, amateur hour.

Ya know.  I kind of like this club.  If you take away the clueless door people and the normal BS that surrounds going to clubs, it isn't that bad.  And to the group of 4 dudes in line before us...its called bring WOMEN.  Always hang out a block away from the club, offer to by her a drink and then slide right through the velvet rope...geeze.

The big room is great.  Sound system is tight.  There is plenty of room to get your groove on and the crowd (at least the night I was there) didn't seem to bother me much.

When I think of eating here, I think of a party in my mouth.  And by party, I mean explosion of different flavors and textures.

This restaurant is awesome.  Whilst in a strip mall, it still maintains some ambiance that one would expect for such a great meal.

My friend and I ordered several appetizers and some dishes for mutually beneficial experience.

If you dig the swine + wine, this place is for you!  I also want to give this place mad props for their Mac and Cheese as well as its ability to make me crave lentils.
