Bonefish Grill – In + On Bar Bites

Bonefish Grill has added a number of offerings to their menu with their In + On Bar Bites promotion. Taken together, these small plates are the perfect way for an individual (or a party) to taste the wide variety of Bonefish Grille’s specialties, all without breaking the bank. Bonefish’s take on a Moscow Mule, The Mule ($7.5) ties together a strong, assertive ginger element with a more moderate mint element.…

Tocolo Cantina Review

We were able to sit down and experience Tocolo Cantina in Garden City, New York and had a fulfilling experience. The restaurant prides itself in providing a new sheen to Mexican fare, to break customer’s minds from the boring and drab offerings of many local Mexican stops. The restaurant is able to have an expansive menu with prices that are incredibly approachable. Tocolo Cantina’s tacos are where they shine the…

zPizza – 5060 N. High Street, Columbus, Ohio 43214

Outback Steakhouse – Akron, Ohio

We were lucky enough to be invited to the Outback Steakhouse in Akron Ohio. We are pleased to say that the experience that we had at the restaurant was amazing.

After we sat down it was only another few brief moments before our waiter for the…

Cyclops Rechargeable Revo 900 LED Hand Held Spotlight

We were able to go camping for the first time in my life a few months ago and everything seemed to be great. The one thing that we did not anticipate was to have a flashlight or other light emitting source. This meant that whenever we went to the bathroom or had to conduct any business between different tents we were quite literally in the dark. Sure, most current generation…

Grand Trunk Uinta 4-Person Tent

Throughout all my youth, I never went on any camping excursions. I was always more of a fan of staying inside and playing on the computer – something that I still enjoy. We went to the Midwest reggae fest a few months ago and required a tent for the extended festival duration. The actual day that we went the weather was incredibly bad – the ground was squishy, the rain…

The Detroit Institute of Arts

The Detroit Institute of Arts is gargantuan; a labyrinthine building that houses some of the world’s greatest treasures. This does not only mean that works from the old masters nor those modern American and European artists, are the balance of what is present here – this means that there are considerable ancient and more recent artifacts that one can spend the better part of a day visiting.

Logan’s Roadhouse – Canton, MI

The overall decor of the Logan’s Roadhouse was one that was brightly lit, while the decor really matched the overall cowboy / western theme. Once we were seated the waitress provided our drinks immediately. The service was incredibly fast with a number of stops by the table to ensure that everything was to our liking. We placed our order and within a few short minutes our appetizer came out. The…

Hotel St. Regis Review

The Hotel St. Regis is a storied hotel in downtown Detroit. The hotel has hosted a number of storied musicians, politicians, and other important persons, and it still cuts a mean figure on West Grand Boulevard. The rooms have a classic dignity to them while providing blazing-fast internet and a solid swath of cable channels. The hotel contains La Musique, a restaurant that provides their own unique take on classic…

Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center Review

The Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center is a lush area, seeming more like an early twentieth-century university than a hotel. This quaint and timeless touch is paralleled by tremendous customer service. I recently visited Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center for leisure and was very impressed.  Perfect for those that are looking to rest and relax at the NHCC, the rooms have the feel of an apartment.

Boston’s The Gourmet Pizza – Columbus, Ohio Review

  The restaurant’s house salad is a great value with its price, serviced very quickly with the correct dressing. Their Ultimate Pepperoni pizza had two types of pepperoni; Boston’s sauce is the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. The pizza was simply one of the finest we have had in the Columbus area. For those wanting a different take on Italian cuisine, the spicy chicken and alfredo contains a great…

The Inn at St. Johns Review

The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, and is situated in a similarly beautiful golf course. After checking into the hotel, visitors will begin to see the sheer amount of care that has been placed into the St. Johns experience. Parking is expansive, allowing for little fighting over spaces – one will be able to walk right up to the front desk and get squared away. As one enters, a door on…

Halo V Headband Review

  When we received a Halo V headband for review, we were a little skeptical about how well sweat would be shunted from our faces. The headband is incredibly fashionable and thin, consisting of a shiny fabric (Dryline) that looks too sheer to hold any moisture. After completing an exercise in the Halo V, we were absolutely astounded at how well the company’s headbands work. The SweatBlock Seal (patented by…
