MGM Signature Suites- Las Vegas
Don’t judge a book by its cover or a hotel by its name. After a quick last minute stay in Vegas, we cavalierly booked the MGM Signature Suites, thinking they were just that- suites of the MGM Hotel. While the rooms were large, which I guess qualifies them as suites, the place felt more like…
One65- San Francisco
Special birthdays require special desserts and what could be better than a few gorgeous creations from the Michelin starred One65? Answer: nothing. Elegantly delivered to an average locale, these creations convinced even the biggest non-chocoholic (moi) that this makes for an excellent birthday celebration. At $13 each and a wee DoorDash delivery, elegance and indulgence…
Serata Hall- London
What’s one to do if you have 33 GBP and a Sunday morning to spare? Head to Serata Halll but be prepared to be part of a birthday and bachelorette extravaganza. Without asking, you’re brought a bottle of white and rose sparkling… oh and a jug of rum punch for good measure! They need to…
Howling Hops Hackney
Fancy a pineapple reminiscent “tropical pale ale?” Good because this place is so popular, it’s about the only thing still on tap. Perfect for a tasting flight that’s all the same beer. 🍺
Au Petit Comptoir- Reims

Copain Comme Cochon- Reims
Copain Comme Cochon is amusingly situated next door to Le Clos (and the market!) which is a fun ambiance for playful apertifs. Old ski lifts make for an excellent location for a glass of champagne. The restaurant itself is small and luckily saved us a table on a busy market saturday. I opted for the…
La Chevre et Menthe- Reims
After touring the cathedral and ahead of our cellar visit at Veuve Cliquot, I found myself starving! We lucked into a non-touristic spot charmingly named La Chevre et Menthe. With a two plate daily special at just 20 EUR, what’s not to love? I started with a ham and cheese pie that could have been…
Hotel de la Paix- Reims
The champagne tour continues to the much larger city of Reims with a few nights at the Hotel de la Paix. The hotel was spacious and rather busy, complete without parking available. The room, however, felt new and clean even if the color choices were weird ones. There was plenty of space to kick back…
