We have been lucky enough to review a number of Heavy Seas beers in the last few years. When we found out that we were taking a trip to the East Coast, we made it a point to stop in Baltimore at their Alehouse (the company owns and operates a second location in Arlington, Virginia).
One of the main things that we gleaned from our trip to the Inner Harbor in Baltimore is that it stays incredibly busy at all points during the day. The newly-opened Baltimore Shake Shack bustles in the same way, but unlike the stop-start traffic, the restaurant is able to quickly take orders and provide stellar service. The chain has increased in number since the beginning days in New York City, but…
Nando’s Peri-Peri was founded in the 1980s in South Africa, and the concept has spread in the years since to the United States. The restaurant has set up shop in the Washington, DC, Baltimore, MD, and Chicago, IL markets. We started off with the Hummus with PERi-PERi Drizzle (5.95); the hummus was creamy, nutty, and one could infuse the stuff with any of Nando’s variety of PERi-PERi blends or the…
We were lucky enough to be invited to dine at the Crave Restaurant in Bethesda, Maryland when we took a trip out east. The large menus that the restaurant offers ensures that there will be a unique experience had with each subsequent visit. To begin the meal, we had their Lobster & Shrimp flatbread ($16), which united a crispiness from the bread with a creaminess (from the garlic cream sauce)…
Having an easy way to clean a baby while having enough wiggle room for a little one is the tradeoff that a number of mothers and fathers face. A number of baby baths on the market are rigid, ill-fitting, and take up a large amount of room. The Stokke Flexi Bath looks to address a number of these issues. The bath is foldable, meaning that it can be stashed…
We were up in Detroit, Michigan this last weekend and we received a room at the Greektown Casino and Hotel. We have been to the Greektown Casino a number of times as it is one of our favorite locations to go in Detroit. We have never had the opportunity however to go and spend a night at the casino’s attached hotel. We received one of the deluxe king accommodations on…
Famous Dave’s is a chain that has locations through the United States. We were lucky enough to be invited to their North Olmsted, Ohio location. We were immediately greeted and taken to our seats. The server was able to get in our drink and appetizer order. A few minutes later, we experienced the Barbecue Nachos ($6.99), which at the small size was more than enough to sate three or four…
The voting is closed, but the night has yet to begin for the Alternative Press Music Awards. Drastically growing to the degree that the show is filling the Q (Quicken Loans Arena, 1 Center Court, Cleveland, OH 44115) this time around, this award show makes for the most action-packed weeknight since the Cavs season ended. The 2nd annual Alternative Press Music Awards are being held tomorrow (Wednesday, July 22nd) at…
Canton, Ohio is seeing a resurgence downtown, with a number of stores (The Auricle, Arrowhead, Canton Brewing Company) looking to revitalize a long-dormant metropolis. The Deli Ohio has a chill atmosphere with solid colors, decently open space and an open kitchen so that one can see their food being made. The chipper attitude of the cashier put the cherry on the ordering process, while the sandwiches were delivered to our…
