If I'm not here, I'm probably on the way. These are my go-to spots for loud laughs, strong drinks, and food that slaps, whether it's game day, girls' night, or a spontaneous 'let's grab something'. I am always plotting where the next snack will be.

Jersey
Jersey spots just get it. Loud booths, strong drinks, parking lots full of stories-these are my tried-and-true places to catch a game, grab messy apps, or run into someone you weren't ready to see (but looked great for).

Hot weather, hotter wings. Whether it's rooftop drinks, beachy bites, or a bar with enough fans to keep the sweat minimal, these are my fave Florida spots to yap, snack, and sip under the sun.
Great spot, great food!
The Boathouse
The food was so fresh and they do such awesome printed latte art!
The French Cafe Winter Garden - Order Online

Norwood's Restaurant & Treehouse Bar
The food was super fresh!
Disney Springs® West Side - Summer House on the Lake
They recently redid the interior and the menu, while I was wowed renovation and menu change, I would still eat here. I cannot lie I was disappointed by the updates, but the food is still good!

Philly
Gritty meets greasy in the best way. These are my Philly go-to's for sports energy, bar food that hits, and that unmistakable "we might end up in a karaoke bar after this" kind of night.
Food was 10/10!
PIZZATA PIZZERIA
Definitely a college bar but what a fun spot.

Murph's Bar
I love it here more earthy than a sports bar, but the food is worth it and you definitely can chat
Terrain Cafe
NYC
Big city energy, tiny tables, loud convos. These spots are worth the hunt-packed with vibe, flavor, and the kind of drinks that make you linger long after the check's been dropped.
Bruch was perfect 🥂
Sadelle's New York
There is a full bar for night life
Starbucks Reserve Roastery New York
I think they are cash only just fyi! But the menu is a lot of specials so call ahead if you're picky.

The inside bar was great outside, and it is cool, too
The Empire Rooftop Bar & Lounge | Cocktails in Manhattan NYC
New York
New York doesn't just mean NYC! This list is for the LI hangouts, neighborhood gems, and state-wide spots where the food is good and the convos are better.
I cannot beginning to tell you how good the food is. Fresh. Tasty. The vibes are immaculate.
