Recommendations

I love recommending places to people. Here are some recommendations from my “short list”. I have personally been to all of these and enjoyed them enough to specifically call them out. I receive no kickbacks; the establishment owners don’t even know I have this list.

The food establishments tend to be vegetarian friendly, since I don’t eat meat or fish.
