The Vortex Bar & Grill 438 Moreland Ave NE, Atlanta, GA 30307 Beyond the wild exterior is a dark and dive-y space. The drinks are cold and the chili is hot, but if burgers are your thing this is the spot. The establishment is located in the funky neighborhood of […]

Kolache at Foxy Loxy [1919 Bull St, Savannah, GA 31401] is a rockin way to start your day. I had my first kolach (singular, plural has an E at the end) on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, Texas. One day I’ll get to writing about that […]
Breakfast here is the real deal, a serious greasy spoon. Walking into Narobia’s Grits & Gravy [2019 Habersham St, Savannah, GA 31401], it is no frills, but who needs frills when you have biscuits? Take a seat at a little table or up at the counter so you can watch […]
It’s just a little market and deli franchise on Big Island, but to me a memorable spot with quality items. Island Naturals Market [15 -1870 Akeakamai Loop,, Pāhoa, HI 96778] was perfect for our needs while situated in Pahoa. Breakfast? Grab it at the hot bar. Lunch? They’ll make it […]
A Mexican joint for breakfast? I wasn’t so sure. Would it be too heavy? Would I like anything on the menu so early in the morning? I ran the idea by Jeff and it was an instantaneous yes, so a mexbrex it was. Martanne’s Café [112 Historic Rte 66, Flagstaff, […]
Coffee, ritzy little snacks and trinkets, wine. Superior Merchandise Co [147 Fourth St Troy, New York] is a conglomerate of things you want. Your eyes will take you in every which way looking at walls, shelves, and tables with carefully picked items. The devil is in the detail and this […]
Polly’s Pancake Parlor [672 NH-117, Sugar Hill, NH 03586] is a breakfast institution in these woods. Opened for 75-years this family owned restaurant is skillfully practiced in the pancake art. Arrive as early as possible, and make sure to call as soon as you wake up to put your name […]
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and when that day is jam-packed with a travel itinerary it is important to be well fed from the get go. Since we were based out of Nørrebro we spent a good deal of time on Jægersborggade Street, a short block […]
If you are looking to start your day off right in the Catskills, head to Twin Peaks Coffee and Donuts in Tannersville, [5950 Main St Tannersville, New York] your day might just be complete after breakfast. I fell in love at first sight, and that love was solidified at first […]
I love the feel of a good farmers market. The Troy Farmer’s Market is my favorite in the Capital Region and it is probably the only thing I like better in winter than in summer! Sure it’s great to be by the river with a breeze, but in winter I […]
Top Picks: Haleiwa (Cultural, Northshore) One of my favorite things is getting the feel for a new town. Haleiwa is just small enough and kitschy enough to be a perfect place to explore in one day. There is one shopping main strip that runs through the town, you can park […]
Diamond Head (Lighthouse, Military Remnants, Tunnels, Waikiki) This is the quintessential Oahu hike located right in Waikiki, everyone does it and the trail is packed accordingly. There are many things that make this hike very interesting and unique, but it is really hard to look past the throngs of people […]
Route 28 in the Catskills has got a lot of quirky and cool spots to visit, if you know where to look. Yesterday we started out with breakfast at the Bread Alone Bakery in Boiceville, and ooh it was good. The products here are organic and handmade, they look so good […]
I love Brew on Lark St, it’s a really great new addition to the community. Here you can find a surplus of craft beers. You can create your own six-pack with different bottles of beer, fill up a growler with the beers on tap, or grab a few cold ones […]
It was Sunday evening and I had just left the USS Slater after a long fun day of tours! I needed sustenance and a caffeine kick if I was going to make it through the evening instead of just sleeping through it. A trip uptown was in order to visit Professor Java’s quietly […]
