I have had the best luck with restaurants in the Palazzo hotel. Last year, my besties and I dined at Lavo for my 30th birthday, and we had just the most amazing dinner there, followed by free drinks in the lounge, and dancing upstairs in the club. On this trip to Vegas, Kristine and I......
*Update: 1/10/11 -> Beso Las Vegas filed for bankruptcy this week. But the soup!* I’m not a Desperate Housewives fan, and I hate the Spurs, but I somehow managed to put these feelings aside, as we went to Eva Longoria Parker’s restaurant Beso in Las Vegas. It’s part of the new CityCenter, which consists of five new......
Kristine and I headed to Vegas for a little vacation at the end of August. Most people hit The Strip to drink and gamble, but we went to relax, shop, sit by the pool, and of course, eat. When you try to describe the amazing meals you’ve had in Vegas, you’re usually met with a......
I sort of lost my Montreal posting momentum, but as my fridge is bursting with freshly picked strawberries and rhubarb, it’s time to get a move on. So here’s the last of my Montreal posts, and I’ve saved the treats for last. Just like bagels and smoked meat, when you go to MTL, you will......
Of course, while in Montreal, you must eat Montreal Smoked Meat. This has scared me to this point in my life, because I never really knew what was happening there. Why was the meat pink? It scares a person such as myself who only likes an itty bitty bit of pink in her steak. But......
I fell in love with this little store in Montreal that sells all kinds of nuts, dried fruits, and chocolate. I’m fairly obsessed with almonds, and usually have a small handful of raw almonds each day because they’re so good for you. Raw almonds are just gross enough so that you don’t eat an entire bag. But......
I’m not really that much of a bagel person. I guess because most bagels you get around the GTA are just bread in a bagel formation. Tim Horton’s or The Bagel Stop for example, or any brand of bagels you buy in plastic bags at the grocery store. And don’t even get me started on......
There was only one restaurant I knew I had to eat at while in Montreal. I’m an obsessive avid Food Network Canada watcher, and as soon as I saw my first episode of Chuck’s Day Off, I knew that if I made it to Montreal I would have to eat at Garde Manger. I checked it out on......
I just got back from two weeks in Montreal for work. I had a long list of restaurant recommendations from friends and co-workers, and while I didn’t get through them all, I crossed a lot of places off the list, and can’t wait to tell you about my favourites. First up is Cocoa Locale,......
