re: Hotel rec Denver
Posted by surprisewitness on 10/8/24 at 12:30 pm
I second the Limelight hotel. The restaurants downstairs are great, try Tavernetta (italian) and/or Sunday Vinyl (american). And several other good ones within a couple of blocks:
Jinya (ramen)
Mercantine Dining and Provisions (american)
Snooze (breakfast/brunch)
ChoLon (asian)
The bar in U...

[quote]Don't use river sand, that is a quick way to get all kinds of trash weeds including torpedo grass set up in your yard. What you will want to use is masonry sand or play sand to fill in those areas.[/quote]
This, the torpedo grass and weeds you get from river sand is just not worth the cost...

I don't understand why this would not work. To the camera, it should be just another SSID to connect to. Lots of people have cellular based Internet connectivity, why does it matter what device is providing it?
Maybe there is something I am not aware of with your setup. I also know nothing about...

I would opt for the Progress next door. Food is better IMO. They are run by the same people and both are 1 Michelin Star.
Other recommendations from my experience (I travel often to SF for work):

If you are talking about the cross rib sliced ones, then you should try this

re: What's the Weirdest-Flavored Ice Cream You've Tasted?
Posted by surprisewitness on 6/20/24 at 4:29 pm
Salt and Straw has some pretty weird sounding flavors but actually taste pretty good. Some examples when I was in SF:
Pear and blue cheese
Red chilli curry
Arbequina Olive Oil
Green fennel and maple
Charred corn curd, cotija and, Tajin
They rotate new flavors in and out.

re: Have any of you used any of the Business Class Sites for International flights?

Where are you finding 1/2 price business class seats? Seems like a scam IMO. Maybe you are referring to consolidators? If so, be wary because it is generally against an airlines terms....

re: Mexican Business Trip
Posted by surprisewitness on 6/7/24 at 3:22 pm
I went to Guadalajara for business a few years ago. There is cartel violence there but it is limited to violence against people associated with the cartel or drugs in general. Violence against tourists is not prevalent. We stayed in the Andares area in the north part of the city in the Hyatt Regency...

I like The Golden Mill, its a small food hall type venue with lots of outdoor seating right on Clear Creek. A block or so away is Barrels & Bottles which is good.
Others:
Mountain Toad
Golden City (your small neighborhood brewery)
New Terrain (little further away)

re: Disneyland Anaheim tips?
Posted by surprisewitness on 3/31/24 at 6:40 pm
Courtyard Anaheim Theme Park is the best place to stay in my opinion, not the cheapest. Within easy walking distance of the park. Plus it has the best hotel waterpark in the area not including great wolf. We were there last year in May and will be back this May. The weather is infinitely better than...
