“Like” and lmk if you enjoyed your visit to Duo as much as I did. In May 2026 my husband and I dined at this restaurant while staying at the hotel next door (Grand Wailea) for a company event.
We got a very special treat at Duo : a trio of Wagyu - ...
DUO Steak & Seafood Four Seasons Maui
“Like” and lmk if you have been to Spago, what you got and what you liked. In May 2026 we got a few entrees for our group of 4 adults (and indulged in some alcoholic beverages) to share and then split the bill down the middle. It was a hefty bill, bu...
Spago at Four Seasons Maui, a Wolfgang Puck restaurant
“Like” and lmk if you’ve been, what you ordered and if you liked it. We got back from a week in Maui May 2026, but we were there the first time April 2024 when i experienced Paia for the first time. We must’ve gone back at least 2-3 times that year.

Paia Fish Market Southside (not a market)
Plymouth, Massachusetts
“Like” and lmk if you’ve been and what you’ve had. I’m a lobster and clam chowder girl so that’s all I can recommend here. There are a few other restaurants close to EBG that I’m going to recommend as well so keep scrolling!
East Bay Grille on the Plymouth Waterfront
“Like” and lmk if you’ve been and what you got. I really like the option to sit outside on the back deck while looking over the ocean. Chowder and lobster is my plate of choice. The inside seating is nice too.
The CabbyShack on Plymouth Waterfront
“Like” and lmk if you’ve been and what you got. For fear of sounding like a broken record, lobster and clam chowder are my go-to’s. The atmosphere inside during dinner catching up with old friends was perfect. Also the night I went they had live musi...
Tavern On The Wharf at Plymouth Waterfront
Holly Springs, North Carolina
“Like” and lmk what you’ve tried and like here. My go-to’s are the baked ziti and the white pizza. Their complimentary bread is food too.
The bar area is a great place to sit and they have lovely bartenders. You know who you are.😉 The outdoor seat...
Love our cozy Downtown Holly Springs Vieni
“Like” and lmk if you have been and what you got. Nightingale won the "Best Cocktail Bar in the Triangle" award in June 2025 by The News & Observer. Good food, drinks and atmosphere. Don’t miss out on trying the Buttermilk whipped feta, hot apple...
Always a fun ladies night @Nightingale Rooftop in DT Holly Springs
“Like” and lmk if you’ve been and what you got. If you love Bloody Mary’s (BM), this place will not disappoint. The Blind Pelican is known for its extravagant BM concoctions overflowing with any food on the menu you eat. Crab legs, you got it. Grille...
The Blind Pelican in Holly Springs is a not-so-hidden gem just outside of DT
“Like” and lmk if you’ve been and what you got. Smashed has prime real estate on the corner of Main Street with two separate outside seating areas. Both their burgers (hubs gets) and chicken sandwiches (iykyk I’m always getting chicken) are scrumptio...
Smashed Burgers in DT Holly Springs is delicious
“Like” and lmk if you’ve been and what you’ve had. I personally go for the Oreo milkshakes, but there are lots of ice cream flavors to choose from.
FRESH - ice cream in DT Holly Springs
Clayton, North Carolina
“Like” and lmk if you’ve been here and what you think. Loved the atmosphere and the space was great. We got the Garlic Cheese Curd Basket and Trashcan Nachos. The nachos plate was so large, we split it between 3 of us, and there were still leftovers....
Met up with a couple friends for lunch at Vinson's in Clayton - so good!
Cary, North Carolina
“Like” and lmk if you’ve been here, what you think, and what you loved. In order to “prepare” you for your visit, you really need to skip breakfast and pull on some stretchy pants. Plan to get there right when they open at 12p so you can start fillin...
Gather the girls to meet up for lunch at Seol Grille Cary
“Like” and lmk if you’ve been and which flavors/mix-ins are your favorites.
My go-to Signature cup is the Cookie Dough’nt Ya Want Some. I sub in Sweet Cream for the vanilla.
Oh yeah. And they have these cute little frozen 6pk (I think, or 4pk) to...
Who doesn’t love Cold Stone Creamery?! If you say “me” you’re lying
Apex, North Carolina
“Like” and lmk if you’ve been here and what you’ve had. It seems we’ve been finding ourselves at Salem St Pub in Downtown Apex every weekend this summer.
I generally build a delicious grilled chicken on Texas toast with American cheese and honey mus...
Great food choices at Salem St Pub in DT Apex
Raynham, Massachusetts
“Like” and lmk if you’ve been and which pie is your favorite. I’m a cheese gal myself.
Every time I’m back to visit family or traveling up for hockey, I swing into the Raynham location. Hubs and SIL like the Greek salad. In addition to buying these ...
Cape Cod Cafe - Best New England Pizza, hands down. Didn’t need Dave Portnoy for this.
Huntersville, North Carolina
“Like” and lmk if you’ve been and what you got. I’m famous for getting chicken sandwiches most (burger) places I go, my hubs gets the burgers. I can honestly say that both are good here. Don’t get me wrong, I like a good burger, but my body naturally...
Bad Daddy's - Birkdale Village, Huntersville - the burgers, the shakes, oh my!
