    Since I so retarded I cannot figure out how to post a picture of my latest adventure overseas. How can you post a picture that is from facebook? I think it is pretty badass.

    Pizza Paradiso, my favorite restaurant in the entire world. Dupont Circle location is the best.

    like_that's rec's are thrash with the exception of Estadio. Roosevelt Island is pure meh, and a total mosquito hole and not near anything. Do yourself a a favor and don't go there. The statue there is also dumb.

    It looks like the "Rent is too damn high" meme.



    Couldn't recommend this less.

    Pizza Paradiso isn't even the best pizza in DC, let alone in the top 200 restaurants in DC. COA posts about his kale shakes, so you can take his word on food or just search the places I gave you that COA never stepped foot in.

    I kept that DC list you gave me a few weeks back. I ever ended up going on that trip, but I'm still planning to go eventually. I wanna check those Asian spots.

    I knew I wasn't going crazy! I thought I posted that list, but I assume I just pm'd it to you? Could you send it back to me, so I don't have to rewrite it again if anyone ever asks (within or outside of OC) lol?

    I can guarantee there are better asians places in NYC.

    Side note, Asian food is the most overrated style of food.

    There are too many places to go in the world for me to ever double up.

    FIFY the bolded part. This pretty much can be NYC vs any US city and this still applies.

    My opinion (also happens to be a fact) on the second part of your post is that you are wrong.

    I have some close friends there, I'd like to go back to see them. Of course, it would be part of a trip where I can see more.

    Love traveling, but seeing friends is more important to me.

    Not sure how you can say that considering the wide variety of Asian food out there. I recently had traditional Filipino food. Weird stuff, not for me.

    We went a few years ago, stayed on Tybee for 2 days and Savannah for 3. I don't recall the name of the hotel on Tybee, but next time I'd spring for one of the nicer resort types. We had a blast. I LOVED Savannah. We stayed at the Cotton Sail Hotel. Used to be a cotton mill, right on the river. It was amazing. We had a balcony in our room that looked out onto the river. It was one of the most relaxing vacations we've had. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

    Just got back from San Antonio. We were there for a conference so I didn't get to see a ton of the city, but my overall impression was meh.

    That seems to be the case from a lot of people.

    In other travel news, I've got 5ish years to plan a trip to Scotland. I'll take any and all recommendations that people have. I'm looking to golf, visit distilleries, and tour the countryside.
