Warning: this is gonna be hipster heresy. Ok, I have something to confess. It’s a huge trend that I just can’t really get behind. The speakeasy bars. Hold the Bitters The handcrafted, infused with herbs and inflated prices, fancy cocktail bars. I get it though. It’s a creative ploy. Yes, prohibition-era places with dubious sounding…
Did you ever want to eat somewhere where a soup nazi might dish out bowls of piping hot tasty soup, then send you packing in the street of NYC one day? Ok, so I’m a little bit nuts about Seinfeld. They spend hours in their corner diner and Kramer just never ever seems to move…
[Closed September 22, 2019] Down by the Sea Only 20 minutes from my house is the place that settles my soul: the beach. It’s funny, because for Floridians, 60 degrees isn’t beach weather. It’s nearly fireplace weather. But I did make it to the beach my first few months here and it was abandoned, but…
Coffee shops are one of my favorite places to dwell. I will spend hours and hours slowly sipping a $2 cup of coffee and tasting each phase of the cooling process. From burn my mouth hot to warming than any creamer that’s been on the counter for a QUASA (Starbucks ref) amount of time. Anyways….
You won’t spot this brewery from the road, but you’ll find the beers distributed throughout tons of Jacksonville bars. I ended up trying beers from Intuition, Veterans United and Green Room before finally getting to visit Bold City. But I knew the day would eventually come. Josh Tells Me About Jax Breweries It all began…
One of the things I’m starting to enjoy about this city is the feeling of everyone having recently come from a sunny day at the beach. People look a little sand-dusted, wave-beaten and sun-toasted. They look weather weary but eager to finish the day in eating and chatting with friends. I was hanging out at…
Nestled in the classy downtown of Atlantic Beach, sits a burger joint that is more than meets the eye. Before heading there, I assumed it was just created by someone either named Poe or a person that loved po’ boys. Didn’t give much other thought to the name. Ryan Adams and Beach Breezes When I…
It was a Lu lose. You have a recommendation? I’m listening. Sometimes I have to check out the restaurants that are local hits. These are the trendy spots that a city decides to give its most popular vote too. When I hear from 3 people that they hit up the same eatery one weekend, I…
Not everyone can get into this location. It’s private property so it’s probably not fair to blog about it. But it’s my blog so here goes. The Skinner Woods. First off, don’t even try to escape, I mean put this in your GPS. You will go in circles until you give up and end up…
You have to visit Hurricane Grill – especially if it’s a Wednesday. You already missed out though. Last night was the Bay Meadows’ store 1-year anniversary. Do you know what that means? It means a free app and extra cheery servers — ooo and double prizes for trivia. And when you’re in the mood for…
