Restaurant reviews – the opinions expressed are solely my own. Often, though it will appear that they’re based on a single visit, they’re based on more than one. And I’m willing to hear from folks who disagree – I do know that restaurants, including my own, have their off days.
March has marched away and there’s little to say about it in hindsight. Spent a Sunday wandering the Botanical Gardens and snapping photos, trying out different manual settings on the camera, the only interesting shots of which were a couple of a stand of bamboo. Oh my, such excitement! Business continues to boom, we’re still… Read More Time Marches On
Picking up the pace a little, at least in terms of posting, I’m covering six spots this time around. It also helps when several someones join me as we can hit a few places in a row. The invite stands for anyone who wants to come along – I’m happy to have the company on… Read More 92 Bus, Stops 8 – 13
Some of you may remember that over the last year or two I took on starting the process of updating the dining section for Fodor’s BA guide.

It’s time for that monthly extravaganza of photos that didn’t find a home in a post over the last weeks. Only not much of an extravaganza this month as there are only four photos outstanding – not counting a few I took of buildings wistfully thinking it might be nice to move into a house… Read More February Fading
