I recently learned that Spirits had closed its doors. Is it forever? I should hope not as the place, serving Native American cuisine, was unique and the owners were just about the nicest people in Asheville. We used to frequent SOTR quite regularly. I had a fried oyster sandwich special there one time that to this day knocks me socks off! The food was always modestly priced and plentiful so perhaps that added to their demise. They were just too good for this fast-food obsessed region.

So anyway, The Shed is housed in one of those amazing old Santa Fean structures that have been beautifully preserved and restored and repurposed to great effect and sits at the north end of the Palace of Governors at Santa Fe’s historic plaza.

Now I go every Saturday. They have great vendors with good food and it’s shaded under big trees for those hot summer mornings.

Want to feel cool, hipster-y, and farm-friendly all rolled into one? Take a seat at Early Girl Eatery. This is a very popular joint and the wait can easily be 30 minutes.

The last time I had been here was spring break of freshman year when my friends took me here on my birthday. I thought it was expensive and hyped for what it was worth and refused to come back for a long time.

I’ve been going to Mars Cheese Castle since before Yelp was an idea on paper. With how young the internet is, that might not be saying much, but it’s a fact nonetheless.

The name is more appropriately stated as Picnics Bake Shop and Restaurant. The absolutely best pumpkin pie you will eat and this is the basis of my rating. If you go there for nothing else go for the pie. For years we ordered our thanksgiving pie from Picnics. It is one of those foods your taste buds do not forget. Going on a picnic. Call ahead to picnics and pick it up and head out into the natural beauty of the forests of the Appalachian trail. Just want to eat a truly southern home cooked…

Excellent, helpful & friendly staff, luggage carts are free for guest use if you’re a DIY’er, free shuttle, free parking (no valet), free wired LAN & WiFi, comfy bed, spacious room & bath, large shower & good water pressure (but insufficient hot water), clean room, quiet A/C.

I had been meaning to go to Backstage Bistro for years, but for whatever reason I never made it there even though I literally worked a block away from there years ago. This place is entirely run by cooking school students trying to get their recipes right as well as hospitality training- hosting and waiter service. The waiters were a little awkward at times but it was actually refreshing; they were trying their best to make a good impression.

I had lunch again today at Becky’s Diner. The fried haddock sandwich was outstanding, but order your bun without the margarine they put on it before they griddle it. The margarine was horrid. Becky, I LOVE your restaurant, but please switch to real butter.

This estate is absolutely beautiful and is maintained by some very, very, meticulous people. Every facet of your experience exceeded my expectations , the pricing is fair (as long as you book a week in advance and come during off-peak months), and there are quite a few places to visit in this gigantic estate.

The islanders said I had to have breakfast here and they were right! Delicious all the way around. I had braced myself for the long wait but we lucked out in that although there was a long line, all the tables turned over at the same time so we got a table within 10 minutes (but heard that is not normal).

Ate here for the first time ever last night, and it lived up to everything I’d heard it was. Delicious food, amazing waitstaff, great atmosphere, loved it.
Will definitely be going back. Try to seafood platter and shrimp bisque, they’re simply fantastic!

The cupcakes were ginormous and delicious! The majority of our wedding guests asked for to-go boxes for them to take home!

There is nothing better than an evening of hot cocoa, beignets and live music outside of Cafe Beignet.

I have never been a fan of Cannolis…not sure why but I decided to get one when I was walking through City Hall. I see a “chocolate mousse” one so I buy it and it is absolutely delicious. The mousse is very whipped and the cannoli and crunchy. For $3, it’s worth it!

This is a wonderful, inexpensive option for dining in downtown Nantucket. Though the inside is nice, the back patio is where it’s at– head back there for a spacious, super comfortable spot to relax and eat in the sun.

Cool buildings and a really fun place to explore. I came out here with a couple friends since we were touring Boston and there were a lot of interesting shops and beautiful buildings. There was always something going on in the streets (it was very lively).
