Amy "Schmittastic" S.'s Profile

Just. What. I. Needed! It didn't take me long to decide that I should attend this Yelp event because I've been trying to find a high class, but also conveniently located spa to visit for some good beauty advice. The Fancy Me Friday event gave me that opportunity at a great price and a great cause. First of all, thanks to Amy for taking the time to give me a hand massage while I wait for my appointments. She as well as the rest of the crew showed how hard working they are when they were trying to move appointments along as efficiently and low-drama as possible even though they were taking a little longer than anticipated. Ginger was a fantastic manicurist. I'm still stunned that my nail polish is in perfect condition and my nails of uniform and non-chipping shape. And Chasity was exactly the esthetician I was dieing to talk to. She gave me an amazing facial and great skin care recommendations that I was in desperate need of. I can't wait to continue visiting both of them because it's worth every penny for the way I felt afterward. Props to Christina for another great event!

This is a great lunch or drinks location Downtown, especially if you need to hit something up on the weekends when a lot of the area isn't open (except for its neighbor Due Amici of course). It's very famous for its sweet potato fries, but after ordering them everytime I visited I was curious to try their regular fries... and those are the bomb too (Yes, I just said "the bomb". Don't judge me.) They always have a good scene but not toooo bad. You can usually get a table within at least 10 minutes. Their help is also really cool, fun, and easy. I really enjoy having this place close to home.

This may be a hockey bar, but they are also an amazing every other sport bar when there's not hockey on. Just popped over to watch the NCAA tournament and there was a nice crowd of people but not too crazy. Probably gets to be too much during CBJ hockey games. Love the bartenders. They are really nice and quick. Free popcorn get it's own star on my rating. I just love popcorn and beer. Also, we extremely surprised at how much I liked their chicken quesadilla. I'm VERY picky about my quesadilla's and theirs was pretty darn good. Also, decent bathrooms and lots of TVs. All in all a really great sports bar in a good location, but not in the middle of the main party street... which is a good thing in my opinion.

This place has everything. Great people. Fantastic pizza (I think they're hiding cinnamon in there!) Atmosphere. And beer. Don't get this location confused with the High Street shop. They might be brothers but their pizza is NOT the same. This is the spot if you want good pie, and a good time. Especially on St. Patrick's Day. Yep.

I have never had a bad meal here. I love the food and the atmosphere. It's definitely a great spot Downtown... even open on weekends! I do wish it were a little lower priced, but I'm always taking advantage of Half-Priced Tapas Tuesdays! Good stuff.

I absolutely love this dog park! It's so nice to have something within walking distance for the dog-owning residents of Downtown. It's nice-sized area considering it is in the Downtown area, filled with gravel rather than grass for the dogs making it easier for the board to maintain. The only issue I have with the gravel is that sometimes it's annoying for the dogs when the rocks get stuck in their pads, but it's not like they're that stressed about it. They're still very happy to be there and sniff around! There are a couple park benches which make staying longer for the pups nicer for the owners. The Elevator Bar has a brewery close by and they actually provide a keg of water for the dogs that visit the dog park. So no worries if the pooch gets thirsty! There's a parking lot against the park, but it's very full during the work day because it's a paid lot. Very easy to park there for a few on nights and weekends though. I just love this park, and I want everyone Downtown to know it's there so they can take advantage of the space.

I love this theater if I want to go see a new movie without getting overrun with too many people. This place is never too busy (hopefully busy enough to stay open) and is really convenient to hot spots in the Arena District. They also service alcohol if you want a little drink with your movie. Great theater with all the new movies without the crazy crowds. I hope it stays this way.

I absolutely love this location when I need to get some work done. I usually stick local when it comes to coffee, but I still enjoy Starbucks and this location is the best (when I can find a seat) for getting some work done. Easy parking and a drive through if you can't stay. Gimme the skinny vanilla latte and I'm your bestest friend.

I absolutely love Adriactico's pizza. We only get it when they have their Tuesday special. Basically, they win with their crust. I'm a freakin' bread person. And that crust is just amazing. Thick and delicious!

I love going here for breakfast when I'm up for a change. Cheap selection (obviously since it's on campus) and quick service. Lots of TVs and cool decor. I usually defaul to German Village Coffee Shop, but this place is probably number 2.
