Jen Day two in St. John’s. I don’t think I could ever grow tired waking up to this view. Omar and I are early risers. I grab a cup of coffee, set up my laptop on the deck overlooking the water and take care of a bit of work. Yes, I know, lame right? I just … Read more
We just had a wonderful week in St. John, USVI with my sister Beth and her husband Andreas. Beth and Andreas rented a beautiful villa in the mountains of St. John called Villa Tiffany. You can check out the link on VBRO HERE. This post will be about our first day and our experiences. We … Read more
As we make our culinary journey around this area, we keep being told we need to try Da Francesco’s Italian Restaurant in Shelby Township. We thought our trip there was long overdue. The restaurant is located on Van Dyke, just North of 22 Mile Road. We had reservations for an early dinner, as we, as … Read more
Well we didn’t actually start our evening out seeking fish and chips. That’s just kind of where we ended up. So Terry’s Terrace in Harrison Township has been around since 1938. That’s an impressive 81 years. If an establishment has been around for that long, they have to be doing something right. We have drove … Read more
You know I wanted to love Whalburgers. I really did. Upon first walking in, with the bright colors, fun selfie areas, fun decor and friendly staff it certainly started out great. We came one day for lunch as we sometimes do at work to celebrate a birthday. Today we were celebrating mine and Johns! YAY … Read more
Tomorrow is my birthday and Omar asked where I wanted to go for dinner to celebrate. I wanted something new, somewhere we haven’t been so we could gather new intel for our blog. We have been rather remiss lately writing our blogs. I have about 15 in draft form waiting for us to write. We … Read more
I love Japanese Hibachi Steakhouses. We have visited many to try and find the best one out there. Surprisingly, Benihana, the most popular, and probably the most expensive, is our least favorite. We have had some mediocre experiences there. Tonight we wanted to try something new and went to Osaka Steak House in Shelby, across … Read more
It was Omar’s birthday and we were looking for something unusual to do and somewhere new to eat. Even though it was on my bucket list to visit, I suggested we try the Whitney in Detroit. I had always wanted to eat there, with its rich history and many tales of being haunted. The Whitney, … Read more
In a never quest to find somewhere new to eat, we decided upon Big Rock Chophouse in Birmingham. Located in the previous Eton Street Station, the restaurant has an old-world charm that is very inviting. The first, and only complaint about this restaurant is the fact it is valet only. They have zero parking on … Read more
I convinced Omar, with much cajoling for us to try Gran Casor, the new(er) Latin-American Fusion restaurant in Troy. The reason I had to convince him to go is because Mexican food in general is not his favorite food. He doesn’t share my deep love affair with all things taco and nacho related. Yes, I … Read more
