Towne Stove and Spirits, Boston, MA USA

The first time I went to Towne for lunch I just couldn’t bring myself to order the smoked salmon club sandwich. It looked… interesting, that’s for sure, but having been accustomed to eating great smoked salmon plain (well, maybe with a bagel and cream cheese) I was confused why it would come in a club […]

Sheraton Downtown, Los Angeles, CA USA

There was no room service menu in my hotel room.

Nicole, Rachel’s friend, had just moved to a “posh” area of […]

Apparently if you’re flying “First Class” on American Airlines, you can’t use their lounge. So who has access to the Admirals Club? What a lame “rewards” system; spend money to fly first, still can’t use the lounge. My plan switching flights in Dallas was to grab some free drinks and a snack in the lounge, […]
