If you order off the menu, step […]

I’m meeting some old coworkers/friends at Mare for dinner. The weather on Thursday was beautiful, so it was a nice walk from my office.

March 17, 2014 Koreana

It’s been a while since I’ve been here. We had bought a Living Social deal for Koreana and randomly decided to go in the middle of a snowstorm.

March 4, 2014 Serendipity 3 at Caesar’s Palace

Famous for their shop in New York, celebrity followers and their famous frozen hot chocolates, we just had to see what the fuss was all about. I’ve never been to the New York location, but I have to feel like the Vegas location just can’t be as charming as the original in NY. It feels […]
