A travel diary of my first trip to Austin, Texas — a place where live music, taxidermy, college co-eds, and amazing food is abundant. I miss you Austin, Texas, but I will be back!

Le Montrose Hotel Review
Overall Impression Le Montrose was kind of a disappointment. It looked great online, but in actuality it was pretty average. It is located on a residential side street off of Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. It is not particularly close to anything and the hotel amenities were not enough for me to stay and enjoy [...]
Viceroy Hotel Santa Monica
Overall Impression The Viceroy is just plain cool. It’s a bit eclectic, but it is one of the hot places to be in Santa Monica. The hotel has a great poolside scene with cabanas and poolside dining. The lounge is a great place to hide from the heat and catch a drink. Decor is eclectic, [...]
Sheraton Delfina Santa Monica Hotel Review
Overall Impression I like this hotel. The lobby feels very California oceanside. Dim lighting, dark wood, shutters, high ceilings. It feels like a Hollister or Abercrombie store. The location is about 5-10 minutes walking from the beach. There is a car rental place nearby and walking to the 3rd Street Promenade is not too much [...]
Standard Hotel Hollywood Review
Overall Impression The Standard Hotel Hollywood is part kitsch, part boutique. The lobby has a glass fish tank behind the front desk where a model lives for most of the day reading, checking her email, etc., and the patio ground is adorned with blue astro turf. The rooms are modern, but also a bit tacky. [...]
Ace Hotel Seattle Review
Overall Impression On the one hand I really like the Ace Hotel, on the other hand I don’t like it. I would consider the Ace more like a luxury hostel than a boutique hotel. With that said, I would probably stay here again if I was on a solo business trip or if I was [...]
The James Hotel Chicago
This is my third stay at The James Hotel in Chicago, and I have to say there is a reason, or possibly ten reasons, why I keep coming back. The staff here is fantastic, and the rooms are great. The James has a modern, youthful vibe — minus the pretension. Upon check-in the clerk reminded me [...]
Chicago Hot Dog Chronicles
I’m not usually a fast food kind of guy, but the Chicago dog pretty much rules the fast food world in my mind. I’ve even started making them at home. Hello coronary angioplasty. Below are some photos of my Chicago hot dog adventure.
Hotel on Rivington New York Review
Overall Impression The Rivington is a modern building in the middle of an old school Lower East Side Manhattan, and is an example of what the LES is becoming. The hotel is eclectic chic. The lobby and bar are borderline tacky, but somehow really cool. The rooms are clean and sleek — small, but not [...]
W Hotel Times Square Review
Overall Impression The W is a cool place to hang out in Times Square, but it’s not cheap. The hotel is modern, sleek, and well appointed. If it’s your first time in the big apple paying extra for a Times Square view room may be worth it. This is a top notch hotel and priced [...]
